Articles - Science topic

Obviously, author feels motivated to contribute more the academia. But, if the journal rejects paper along with improvement suggestions, that should also be accepted with positive attitude. I have also accepted rejection decisions with positively and refined my papers before submission to other journals.

High-ranking journals usually also have a high level of citability and recognition on the Internet. If any of you would be interested in scientific cooperation in joint research projects and team publishing in the field of sustainable development, green economy transformation, determinants of the development of a green closed loop economy, green energy transformation, development of renewable and zero-emission energy sources and publishing articles in a high-scoring journal, please write a message to my e-mail address: [email protected].

I invite you to scientific cooperation and publishing,

Kind regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Super! Thank you, dear Colleague.

I recommend you to publish your article in journals related to your especilast scopus journals where their are familar reviewers

A journal being "registered with x abstracting partners" typically means that the journal's content is available to be included in the databases of various abstracting and indexing (A&I) services. These services collect, abstract (provide a summary), and index the articles published in a journal, making it easier for researchers to discover and access the journal's content. Examples of abstracting partners include Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed Central.

A journal being "indexed in a journal" generally refers to the journal being included in a specific indexing service, such as PubMed or Scopus. Indexing means the journal articles are included in the database, and the articles can be searched by specific search criteria.

Regarding your second question, if an article has been published in a PubMed indexed journal, but it does not appear on PubMed search, that could be because the PubMed system has not yet indexed the article. It can take some time for articles to be indexed in PubMed and appear in the search results. Typically articles published in PubMed indexed journals will take a month to appear in the PubMed search. If your article still not indexed even after a month or so, you should contact the publisher or PubMed helpdesk for assistance

suggest to look for a more intelligent supervisor - this is nonsense. For CO2 storage only cheap bulk material make sense.

It depends on whether a researcher is an open-minded or otherwise. Restricting an open-minded researcher to publish a single study per annum will limit scientific propagation and technological advancement. In fact, it will take us back to pre-information explosion period where only a tiny fraction of scholars was allowed to contribute to the growth of knowledge. By any physical laws, this is impossible. It seems to restrict human thinking thereby limiting human intelligence and accelerating or retarding machine intelligence. This idea will be detrimental especially if looked at from the high scaled up of global problems like health emergency, global warming, etc. There's a paradigm shift from publishing to perish to share or perish nowadays, which implies the negative consequences will be greater than the benefits to derive from. The only thing to think in this regard is the review process: it has to measure many variables such as quality, validity, reliability, replicability, etc in quantity. Narrowing down the growth of knowledge to just one paper per year will have many consequences on psychology, sociology, economy, geography, environment, health, technology, etc. of the global population. It will limit critical thinking, reading, reflection, among others, which is detriment to the growth and development of scholarship unless proven otherwise in the future. Thinking in this way is epistemophobia

One of my friends was accused of plagiarism; do you know why?

After about three months, his research paper was rejected because of plagiarism. When he checked the journal report, he found that his paper was accused of plagiarism with a 61% percentage. The reason is that his manuscript was previously uploaded as a preprint. It took him another two months to solve the problem and remove the manuscript from the database of the preprint.

So, in order to solve this type of issue, it may take several months of following up to remove the manuscript from the database of the preprint. Anyhow, If there were accusations of plagiarism, it is not well for any researcher's reputation, in any meaning.

Dear honorable researchers,

Preprints are defined as an author’s version of a research manuscript prior to formal peer review at a journal, which is deposited on a public server. ResearchGate (RG) said about "Preprints" an early-stage research.

Before answering this valuable question of Prof. Yashar Salami, please let me give my own opinion about preprint:

Finally, for the coming future, do not upload any paper anywhere until it is published with your name. Even if it is a "preprint"! For the time being, If you had done something like that as a "preprint", for instance, I advise you to delete the preprint from any elsewhere and wait for two months before sending the paper to any journal.

Before answering this valuable question of Prof. Yashar Salami, please let me give my own opinion about preprint:

Why you let others know about your insights and methodologies before publication? You should avoid telling the other researchers about the details of anyone of your papers until it has been published and seeing your name by yourself. You may say that I am somewhat old-fashioned, but I have a different perspective for uploading any preprint anywhere before it has been published by your name. My advice is not to put your research anywhere until it is published.

Finally, for the coming future, do not upload any paper anywhere until it is published with your name. Even if it is a "preprint"! For the time being, If you had done something like that as a "preprint", for instance, I advise you to delete the preprint from any elsewhere and wait for two months before sending the paper to any journal.

Dear Jordan Cotton ,

Artificial intelligence allows machines to replicate the capabilities of the human mind. From the development of self-driving cars to the proliferation of smart assistants like Siri and Alexa, AI is a growing part of everyday life. As a result, many tech companies across various industries are investing in artificially intelligent technologies.

Dear Hom Nath Chalise ,

As far as I can see it is (in this case) because the journal where your paper is published in is not properly indexed in Google Scholar.

Furthermore (see print screen) your name is not properly indicated. Not sure when you uploaded your paper here on RG (use academia.edu as well to speed up the process) but sooner or later GS will pick your paper up.

Best regards.

Good Morning Bashaeir M. Almutairi re: reviewing an article of mine in Cureus

I urge you to read the Mar 22, 2016 response to this question: Choosing Reviewers for Paper: Andrew Davis @Andrew-davis-46

As he points out, in most legitimate cases, "reviewers work for the editor, not for the authors"

I am not a specialist in your field, but if you would like a collegial review and feedback (not a peer review) please feel free to message me here on ResearchGate.

With regard to the original question asked by Rooholamin Dargahi , my experience is that some journal want you to write letters like another article and these appear in a section of the printed version of the journal (in the future). Some journals have a part of their website where they accept comments - and sometimes these are linked to the article itself - where you as a reader can write something about the published paper but your response is not published in the journal itself. Sometimes they (the journal) will say they select the "best" comments to be formally published. Some (people) say to me it is worth the risk (to try), some say it is not.

I agree with Michael Frömmel that it is good to have this recommendation at the start of your contact with a new journal but I agree with Subrata Chakraborty and that you have to be very careful because some of those journals have ridiculous or exorbitant APC requirements.

I thank Abubakar Abdussalam for his comment. Luckily, I do not have a university degree dependent on publication(s) but I totally understand that's the case for some of my friends. I, too, have had the problem that papers wait for long to be reviewed (let alone published). When these things happen, I remind myself to find journals who on their website say their "first decision interval" is 4.7 weeks or something like that. I suggest in future you might look for that as well.

And I promise to myself - again - that I would never take so long to review a paper. That is something that I constantly remind myself to do as an individual. The longest I have ever done was 15 days (the original recommendation was 14-21 days) and I felt bad about that already!!

I think it is, for unique identification of the published work.

So, in order to solve such this type of issues, it may take several months of following up to remove the manuscript from the database of the preprint. Anyhow, If there were accusations of plagiarism, it is not well for any researcher's reputation, in any meaning.

I suggest Mendeley and Endnote. But Mendeley is user friendly software.

In experimental studies of any processes, it is impossible to qualitatively and quickly create an installation, conduct experiments, process them, and generalize the results obtained. Therefore, it is beneficial to work as a team. And you can also write articles together, delimiting responsibility for the paragraphs of the article. This approach speeds up the process and the discussion.

I thought it was a serious publisher, but lately it has been associated with very expensive conferences for the exhibitors. Some time ago they have invited me to be part of an editorial committee of Gruyter (see attached) and they want me to pay for my presentation.

Hello,

Brazilian professor Paulo Correia is a great research in this field: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Paulo-Correia-10

You can see all the papers that he has written.

Best regards,

This kind of situation can be frustrating, however, I would encourage you to keep calm and focus on other things while awaiting the editor's decision. Sorry about this experience

I think it all depends on the contribution of each researchers involved in the work.

It’s unacceptable bith for an academic or even business process. Some Editors do not have the eligibility for handling, or coordinating the scientific journals and publishing the research papers.

Dear Madhukar Baburao Deshmukh,

Yes of course. Thanks for the answer.

Whilst the mainstream here is appealing against publishing in MDPI. I would like to raise another reason for people to publishing there, which is "TIME".

Traditional journals nowadays take really long time to review, while MDPI can guarantee the speed. Many reviewers of traditional journals agree to review but do not deliver ON TIME. Using myself as an example, I know that the journals I chose give 30 days for reviewers but my experience shows that it is quite usual for reviewers to just put the manuscript aside and return after 3-4 months. This is just one round - usually the overall process results in that a paper being delayed in publishing for around one year.

One year delay can be very bad regarding research outputs, as a large project is normally 2-3 years, PhD in the UK is 3-4 years - we really want our research to be seen before we submit the final report...Thinking about the potential delay, it would be sometimes risky to submit a manuscript to traditional journals, thus people logically choose MDPI which normally can publish in one month.

Therefore, alongside this forum, I would say we could also create a thread to suggest the reviewers, who kindly agreed to contribute, can also be as ON TIME as possible...

Note - I am not a fan or opponent of MDPI - just saying my opinion.

All classifications are up to people.

Everybody will tell you that the history of humanity started around 5,150 years ago. Of course, not the same wording would be used. The phrase would be like this. The history of mankind is recorded history. In other words, our history began only when humanity invented writing.

The reason is simple and very convincing. The magic word is convenience. It is much easier to work with historical facts and artifacts if you have written records about them. It is hard to work with only archeological or similar data. The history with existed written records is a comfort zone for everybody. Any choice of the beginning of the history of humankind as a date before first writing will throw researchers and the public out of this comfort zone.

When did the Agricultural Revolution happen? Well, it began many thousands of years before writing was invented. If the history of mankind began in 3150 BC, then that revolution is thrown from the history of humanity into prehistory.

I consider humankind's history, as the one, which started in 42000 BC. Why exactly at this date?

You could read it in my book - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WZCVDTD.

Let me first say this is an guide to answers and not a thesis.

However, there is minimal Zoroastrian influence on Judaism. There is more influence from African/Egyptian Theology on the revealed religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. I base this on Abram coming to Jerusalem and finding the the priest of the Most High God already well established in Jerusalem. Mohammed came from Midian where prior to the conquest of Persia was long ruled by Egypt (see Moses's wife and father in law religion). African/Egyptian Theology is not polytheistic as many believe. It is Henotheism believing there is one god manifested/revealed to man in other beings/gods but in all is only one god. “I became the becoming of those who became after my becoming, for numerous are the desires coming out of my mouth (spoken word to create), …After being only one God, it is three that I became for myself and for Shu (air/spirit), certainly, and Tefnut (water) came out of the Nun (dark empty void) where they were: they brought my eye after them.” This is individuality or one to give plurality in more than one (specifically 3 in trinity). Elohim is God in plurality and individuality. This is very evident in Genesis 1:1-3. So there goes that Zoroastrian influence theory.

Also, the Medes (Zoroastrian religion) were not influential on Judaism until the conquering of Judah, According to the Holy Bible, God prophesied of Cyrus The Great. It would be the other way around if Zoroastrian prophesied of Cyrus. If so, they would not have not lost power the the Persians knowing that Cyrus was coming.

There may be some influence on Christianity, and some on Islam. This was necessitated by the influence of Hellenism by the Greeks and then the Romans who ruled over nations. As a religious rebellion to Hellenistic gods, Zoroastrian, Christianity, and Islam had a common religious enemy.

Finally, just because religions have social and moral goodwill to mankind does not mean one influenced the other. Goodwill (Agape/charitable love) to mankind comes for the spirit of God that was given to all men and women before any of man's religions were created or established. Religion is man's outward appearance to man that he has a relationship with God. Faith is man's inward appearance to God that he has a relationship with God. God moves man to faith in God. Man moves Man to religion with man.

We can not decide the quality of the journal based on impact factor only. Now many open access journals publishing more papers and getting high impact factor with citations. Running towards numbers is not a encouraging one and novel work which is published in any journal will have have citations and credits.

Hi,

Recently, we are focusing on the current pandemic and how to utilize cutting-edge technologies to reduce human intervention and make a more secure robust system to tackle current and future pandemic.

A very recent achievement regarding our research is provided as follows which is accepted in IEEE Wireless Communication (IF: 11.391, Rank: Q1, Index: SCI/E).

Thanks in advance.

Regarding responding to the harsh or negative peer reviewer comments, you should deal with them as you would deal with any other comment. Give a point-by-point response to the comments, mentioning whether you agree or disagree with them. If you disagree with some of the comments, provide your reasons for doing so.

At first, I check if it has a good indexing, and in my case, if it has a good index in the MIAR page. If I see that it has certain guarantees of quality, then I read the guidelines and instructions. What I don't like is that journals show as a great merit the high percentage of rejections. It is one thing to guarantee quality, it is another thing to reject as a way of understanding quality.

Dear Dr. Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich , the software programmes are unique - every one comes with its own share of advantages and limitations. But, you have spotted an important issue. Need more introspection on right & efficient measure. Warm regards Yoganandan

Both are perfect for publishing...

in 2020 →90% Online publications.

Hmm, I am facing with the same issue during this week, and when I am looking on the date of your post, I am assuming it can be related with the end of the year. In other words, I am assuming that GS is doing a maintenance or smth like that on annual basis...

Hello PhD Manal Hadi Kanaan and all collegues.

PhD Manal Hadi Kanaan thanks for your excelent answer. It was very clear.

Dear Stephen Leon Joseph Leon "nowadays some researchers are forming group and started adding their names among themselves (Just for paper count without contributing anything in that paper)": Fortunately this never happened in our research group. For each of our 400+ research paper I can tell you exactly what the contribution of every co-author was. In our discipline, synthetic chemistry, we heavily rely on team work. Thus every co-author is responsible for a clearly defined task (synthesis, analysis, spectroscopy, crystal structure etc.). We never added any author name without a significant contribution to the published work.

Peer-reviews are not made publicly available. There are two chances to read these: 1. You are an author or co-author and get the reviews from the publisher. 2. You know the author of a publication personally and may ask him/her to send you the reviews.

If you are looking for a free, reliable and cloud-based option with a lesser learning curve (for 2D schematics), take a look at: https://www.diagrams.net/

I totally agree with Dr. M. D.H. Prodhan and Dr. Abdelhameed Ibrahim. Really they hit the target.

My passion was always to learn from others. In this sense, reading about science and life is primary for me. To keep up in this learning process, it is necessary to improve our writing skills, e.g. by studying the varied reader responses. Maths, logic and methodology can help up us to sharpen our understanding and communicative skills. Reading and writing about science and life is for me like breathing fresh air; a complete list of true statements in simple language and maths is still my dream.

Sure, it better to publish in peer-reviewed journals for sobriety of research and obtaining the quality of the paper.

Journals (Ex: Progress in Materials Science) which solely publish review articles usually invite an expert in a field to write a review article. Some journals (Ex: International Materials Reviews) ask the authors to submit a proposal which is subjected to a evaluation by the editorial board to further proceed to invite or decline. Some journals (Ex: Reviews on Advanced Materials Science) accept review articles from any author who may be working in a different research topic also. Regular journals do invite expert authors occasionally or accept proposal for review papers. The general emphasize is that the author should have contributed significant literature in a particular field to qualify for writing review article. Presently, open access journals receive huge submissions of review articles. They are not bothered on the background of the authors. The quality is indeed degrading.

If you are confident this can be justified under an exception to cooyright (e.g., it's for the purpose of quotation and your reproduction of it will not damage the legitimate interests of the original owner), go ahead and re-use it whilst acknowledging the original source. If you are not so confident, get clearance from the original owner. The fact that ask the question implies you are not that confident.

Researchers need curated, high-quality content. Poor-quality and predatory journals are a threat to the integrity of science. While poor-quality journals may be easy to identify from a publication performance perspective, they may not be a threat to the integrity of science and possibly serve niche areas or specific research communities. Although usage of the term predatory publishing is widespread, it remains ill-defined and subject to personal interpretation and judgement. Specifically: • Labeling a journal predatory may be controversial if there is no evidence. Publishers that have, in someone’s subjective opinion, some predatory publications may also publish high-quality journals. • It is not always straightforward to identify predatory journals. Journals change their editorial policies over time; a journal that did not start off as predatory may become so over the years or vice versa. • The term predatory evokes a negative response in some, while others find it fitting seeing these publications and indeed their publisher as practicing unethically.

Interesting topic. Follow.

It is interesting as well as unique topic regarding covid19 !

Titan Muslim Al-Khan Ashadullah Shawon Ranjan Parekh Aparna Sathya Murthy Thanks a lot for your replies. I really appreciate that!

Why do we have to believe in Bells? He has no authority to judge whether a journal is a predator or not

A magazine is definitely not the same as a Journal. Magazines normally carry popular articles, not original work. A Scientific Journal publishes original scientific work not published elsewhere. 'Letters' or 'Notes' are of shorter length. It may include a comment on an already published recent paper by the author or someone else. Normally, Editor takes decisions on 'Letters' and 'Notes'. Seldom are they are sent to reviewers.They get published quickly. A full length paper in a reputed Journal has to undergo peer review process and may take up to an year or so to get published.

Simply because Earth is the only planet inhabited by human beings.

What do you mean my friend by "similar paper"?

Ideas and reports are presented at conferences, but there is always a thematic discussion that can solve certain problems.

Amir - the first author is usually the corresponding author. If a PhD student is submitting their own work then, as with all my PhD students, they are the 'lead' and first author in the article - and that should make them the corresponding author by default. I'm aware that it might be a different arrangement in different parts of the world but, at the end of the day, that is (to me) the fairest and most ethical arrangement. No matter how much support a PhD student receives from the supervision team - it is still their project and their data.

I think there is no specific number

First, hello! I am a medical writer with 15 years' experience and was first published in 2009 in Clinical Pediatrics. My most recent publication is in press. As a member of the American Medical Writers Association (Pres-Elect of the SE Chapter), I am very versed in practices of journals, publication ethics, and other relevant recommendations and guidelines regarding authorship. I have a small business, US Medical Research Services (www.usmedresearch.com).

Criteria for Authorship (4)

First, let me review what four criteria one need meet ALL of to be an author on a scientific publication to meet ethical guidelines.

The ICMJE recommends that authorship be based on the following 4 criteria:

This is not meant to deny anyone who contributed authorship, it is made to allow anyone who SUBSTANTIALLY contributed to continue the process and have the ability and requirement to participate in steps 2-4 to be an author. If this is done, the authors are accountable for their work and can not take the "I did not know this was being published" approach should data be in error.

Medical Writers and Biostaticians as Authors

Medical writers can certainly be authors, so can biostaticians. They should have participated in all steps, however. If they did not, the Acknowledgements section must have their name listed should you wish to remain within ethical bounds.

Corresponding Author

The Corresponding Author is something every researcher dreams of. Seeing that little email icon next to your name in publication can be a goal for many, I am sure. However, there is some weight and responsibility. The corresponding author need not be the first author, nor the PI or department head. The do, however, need to be someone ALL authors trust to 1) disseminate information to them each time a revision or question or new draft is available, 2) will be available to quickly answer ALL correspondence and do it professionally (while doing #1, above).

Please let me know should you have any questions.

-Madison

Niloy Sikder When writing up my Ph.D thesis my strategy was to always be doing something. If I got stuck on some point, I'd construct a drawing (it was all Rotring pens and pads in those days) or work on an item for the appendix. One can't afford simply to ponder something for days. So, my view is if you have a set of headings (the usual: background/intro/Literature search; Methods & materials/instrumentation; Results; Discussion; Conclusion; Appendix) or similar (let's not argue about these as it's not my main point), then always be writing these in parallel. Always try to be doing something that moves you forward. Expand your headings into sub-headings and a skeleton thesis emerges.

Sometimes total number of publication also counted. This why people publish research in such journal. The policy of indexed journal is very strict, this is why researchers preferred such non-indexed journals. In this, when these journal get popularity, they become part of indexed journals.

In the context of the above considerations, the following question is also current:

Please reply

I invite you to the discussion

Thank you very much

هل الباحثين الأجانب يكتبون أبحاثهم باللغة العربية؟ كما نفعل نحن العرب بكتابة أبحاثنا بلغات أجنبية؟

الاسباب كثيرة لكتابة أبحاثنا بلغات مختلفة غير العربية

منها

عدم وجود قاعدة بيانات للابحاث العربية كما هو الحال في الابحاث الاجنبية ، بجانب عدم وجود معامل تأثير لمختلف المجلات العربية،

مع العلم أن هناك الكثير من الأبحاث العربية التي قد تكون أقوي وأفيد من الأبحاث الأجنبية

Here you are

I would suggest one more attempt to the journal editor, also writing to the journal mail box. In this email, I would explain that you have written on several occasions, providing the dates of every email sent. In addition, I would look up the email address of the most relevant member of the editorial board and write to him or her, explaining that you have received no response to your letters, giving the submission date, the dates of all correspondence and requesting that the board member investigate why the review is taking so long. (I would strongly advise against writing to all of the board members – they will be less inclined to respond if they are aware that you have written to everyone else!) I have had the experience of having a paper "lost" – it was sent for a plagiarism check and the journal staff either did not receive the result, or failed to react once the response had been received. As the manuscript was both lengthy and broad in scope, I waited some months before investigating, only to find that the review process had yet to begin.

A final thought – you might ask a colleague to send the emails in for you from a different address just in case your mails are being identified as spam.

Don't forget that, if/when you decide to abandon the journal, it is important to withdraw your paper prior to submission elsewhere.

I wish you the best of luck!

In my laboratory the first authors was always the one who did most of the work. The scientific value of the content is more important than the number of co-authors. In more complex subjects the long list of co-authors is very often due to a narrow collaboration with different laboratories having complementary skills. There is no magic formula for the number of authors, all depends on the complexity of the subject and the multiple collaborations with others laboratories.

You are free but at the same time you have to take into your kind account copyrights sir..

I prefer RG, but there is also google scholar and etc.
