Publisher - Science topic

The size of this PDF file in question on my PC is only 12.6 MB, although I don't know how large it is being stored within ResearchGate - likely not much different. Anyway, I don't have an Adobe PDF editor. I think there might be another factor. I suppose I could have a colleague request it now as a test. How about you?? Thanks -- Peter Messer

Muhammad Adeel Thank you very much, I have found the article translated into Vietnamese.

Dear Hind,

I am interested on collaboration for writing a book chapter. My field is waste valorization.

Now I understand the problem. The DOI generated by ResearchGate is no longer connected to the file. Note that DOIs are identificators for files (or "digital objects" in general), not for publications, although very often they are treated like identification numbers for publications. See the help page https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293044585745-ResearchGate-DOIs: "Once a ResearchGate DOI has been generated for a research item, you’re no longer able to edit that research item. Instead, you should remove the research completely, re-upload it with the edits and generate a new DOI." I think you can solve this problem by deleting the current DOI (see "How do I edit my research item's details?" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293081125777-Reviewing-editing-and-featuring-your-research) and create a new one.

Please note that you wrote to the ResearchGate community, not to the RG team. However, you may stop most of the email messages from RG yourself by changing the settings at https://www.researchgate.net/settings/emails. See also https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14292900996241-Managing-your-email-settings for more instructions.

What I have done is put in a short abstract and included the appropriate URL. This has also allowed me to create a DOI...

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with this list

Dear Rob Keller,

Thank you very much for your detailed response and advice.

Dear Abrahim Haidah See enclosed file. Is this what you are looking for?

Best regards.

Use the "find a match" function.

Dear Danny Hinton You may find here https://libguides.citytech.cuny.edu/undergradjournals/psych what you are looking for. If you explain your intentions to the editor I think they will be helpful in making your wish come true.

Kind regards.

Thank you so much for idea, i'll look through it more.

Yes you are right and thank you for your understanding. It was about 1987 and in my early 20s. At that time I was student of Shiraz teacher training collage. There we had a psychology professor a Mr. "Mansour Owji" (1937-2021). He was also a well-known poet. In one of his classes, he talked about one of his published books that had been stolen (plagiarized) completely and published cover to cover with other names as authors. It came to me very strange, why people do plagiarize? why they themselves don't write books? and more questions. I can remember that I asked Mr. Owji some questions about that matter and as a source of curiosity I tried to understand, read and learn more about the nature of plagiarization. So my journey about understanding the nature of research and any thing surrounding it started then.

Some times honest researchers recognize the importance of what I share, but they want to collaborate for publishing books and articles, while what I have in mind is way too far bigger than just publishing some books and articles. In part for example From launching a TV or TVs dedicated to programs on "real research and science" to launching BA and MA on Science of Research" in universities, from related courses dedicated to understanding of children to courses for adults and those who go to public libraries, also Research journalism, scientometric journalism, to name just a few.

For every question to pass and transit to a new world of "real research" I have answers. But you know it is like "to rack a boat"... so maybe people in the world of academia don't like and don't want these things and changes.

To be concise, if any recognized university or higher education system around the world want to know more, I am willing to share, what I know and what could be done practically.

Dear Virginia Abernathy

No this is not spam. I think you can trust this one. First of all the mail address is trustworthy according to the website of this journal https://www.mdpi.com/journal/birds/editorial_office If they mention the full waiver remark themselves then you can count on a nice possibility to publish open access for free.

I had recently a similar experience with this publisher. I received an invitation to publish in the inaugural issue of one of their latest journal titles called “Lipidology”. When it comes to the costs it was in my case expressed like “the accepted paper from you after peer-review would be published *free of charge*”. Everything went ‘normal’ with proper peer review, extensive editing etc. and resulted in a nice paper:

You might be aware that not everybody is that fond of this publisher, see for example https://www.researchgate.net/post/Should_articles_published_in_MDPI_journals_be_excluded_in_the_assessment_of_the_scientific_production_Is_this_already_happening_in_your_country

In some cases the concerns are justified (they published, like so many other publisher, “special issues” excessively) and in most cases I think that for example their proper indexing (Scopus, Clarivate’s indexing like ESCI and SCIE, PubMed etc.) is a comforting guarantee that they operate with sufficient scientific rigor. Furthermore, when looking at your list of publications I see a ‘healthy’ spread of different journals published by different publishers so no real issue here.

I think this is as said a nice opportunity to publish open access for free, personally I would say go for it.

Best regards.

Wolfgang R. Dick Thanks very much. Wolfgang R. Dick

Please note that ResearchGate is not a publisher and not a journal, you cannot "publish" a research work here. It is a platform for papers published in journals, for books and book chapters published elsewhere, or to present unpublished texts, data etc. See also "Is ResearchGate a publisher?" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14292596164753.

Hi,

Consider which type of article you wish to publish. Many journals accept clinical trials, RCTs, reviews and Case reports.

For Ayurveda you may try one of these peer reviewed journals:

AYU- It is a quarterly journal

Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine (J-AIM)

Journal of Ayurveda Case reports

Journal of Research in Ayurvedic Sciences

Journal of Ethnopharmacology

Do look into which journal would be most suitable for your article..

Dear Dr. Singh,

Dear Rajesh SIVAKUMAR Sivakumar

Firstly - congratulations on getting your paper published in a Scopus-indexed journal!))) A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is indeed essential for your paper. It is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to a digital object, such as an academic article, and serves as a permanent link to that object on the internet. DOIs make it easier for readers to find and cite your work, and they also ensure that your paper remains accessible and citable over time.

In terms of when you'll receive the DOI for your paper, it typically depends on the publishing process of the journal. Some journals assign DOIs shortly after a paper is accepted and goes through the final stages of production, while others may assign DOIs upon publication or shortly thereafter. It's best to check with the editorial office or the publisher of the journal for specific information about when you can expect to receive the DOI for your paper.

If your paper has already been published and you haven't received the DOI yet, I recommend reaching out to the editorial office or the publisher to inquire about the status of the DOI assignment. They should be able to provide you with more information and assistance.

Once you have the DOI for your paper, be sure to include it in your publication details, such as in the header or footer of your paper, so that readers can easily find and cite your work.

Sincerely

DOIs are not mandatory. If your publication does not have a DOI, you may simply leave the corresponding field empty.

If you really want to have a DOI, see the reply by Rob Keller to https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_DOI_and_How_to_create. ResearchGate provides DOIs only for unpublished research, see https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293044585745-ResearchGate-DOIs.

I am dying to hear the end of the story, Svenja... Was the article actually accepted by one or more predatory journals? I would not be surprised, of course... But then, I am not sure it would not be accepted as well in "legitimate" journals. When one sees what they publish, these days...

We need to distinguish between "publishing a study" and presenting a "study". It is unethical to republish a work already published elsewhere. However, the work can be presented in an academic forum and even quote the work as ref. It can even be presented as a poster at a conference, but definitely not republishing it in any academic document.

Hello Doung Dara

Like Charles Berg , I would find those (with a Method) section much more interesting and I would definitely want a section like that in any original article with my name on it.

To access journal reviews on hand hygiene audits, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify relevant journals: Start by identifying journals that specialize in healthcare, infection control, or hand hygiene. Some well-known journals in this field include the Journal of Hospital Infection, Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, American Journal of Infection Control, and Journal of Infection Prevention.

2. Search online databases: Utilize online databases that host academic journals and research articles. Some popular databases include PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. These platforms allow you to search for specific keywords related to hand hygiene audits and filter the results based on your preferences.

3. Refine your search: To ensure you find journal reviews specifically focusing on hand hygiene audits, use relevant keywords and search terms. For example, you can try combinations like "hand hygiene audit review," "hand hygiene compliance assessment," or "evaluation of hand hygiene practices." Experiment with different keyword combinations to broaden or narrow your search as needed.

4. Filter and review search results: Once you have obtained search results, review the article titles and abstracts to determine their relevance to hand hygiene audits. Select the articles that appear to be the most applicable and informative for your needs.

5. Access full-text articles: Depending on your access privileges or subscriptions, you may need to pay for individual articles or have access through academic institutions or libraries. If you don't have direct access, consider reaching out to your local library or academic institution to inquire about access to specific articles.

6. Explore references and citations: As you read through the identified articles, pay attention to the references and citations provided. These can lead you to additional relevant articles and reviews on hand hygiene audits that you may not have encountered in your initial search.

7. Contact experts in the field: If you are having difficulty finding specific reviews or need further assistance, consider reaching out to experts in the field of infection control or hand hygiene. They may be able to provide guidance, recommend specific articles, or share their own research or reviews on the topic.

See "How do I respond to full-text requests?" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14292986311825-Discovering-and-requesting-research for instructions how to send a document. Alternatively, you may open the profile of the user who requested the document and use the blue "Message" button.

Dear Shivaughn Marchan Have a look here https://www.researchgate.net/post/Medical_Research_Archives and look at the link provided in the question. The answer is yes it is one and the same.

Best regards.

The problem is that the Geologisk Tidsskrift of the Geological Society of Denmark is not in ResearchGate's database of journals. Therefore, the automated algorithm assigned the journals with a similar title to your paper. See my reply to https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_add_Journal_title for a proposal what to do in such a case.

I am also interested in concept papers. here is one I found on the idea of porous liquids

Dear Benmahmoud Bouzid No they are not. See for example https://www.researchgate.net/post/Does_anyone_could_provide_any_comment_in_regards_of_Engineering_Physics_EP_international_journal_quality and a number of links to other questions here on RG that discuss this publisher.

Best regards.

Principal investigators are not needed for all projects. The term "project" is a very broad one, going from private projects of individual researchers to very large international projects including many groups and a large budget. - There used to be a project category in ResearchGate, but this has been abolished. What do you intend to achieve by publishing a project in RG? The platform itself does not support projects.

It is quite common to present talks or posters on the basis of previously published papers. However, care must be taken when contributing to the proceedings of the conference so as not to infringe the copyright of the journal's publisher.

Hi Prasad,

prioritization of genes will be always required. with 25k coding genes and 35k non coding genes, the chalenge is to get the good set of genes to understand what's up in biology. the game is to choose the good way for prioritization and the best, I think, is in differential genes expression results (arrays or 3'RNAseq give real good aspects for these kind of decision).

all the best

If you mean to upload your paper to ResearchGate: Not all publications are automatically added here. This depends on the journal or the publisher or on which other platform the bibliographic information is available. However, you may add your paper yourself. See this help page ("How to add research") for instructions how to add published or unpublished research to ResearchGate: https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293005132305

I completely agree with the opinion of Rahim Alijani . Such a rule is completely unrealistic and unacceptable in today's science.

Thank you very much! I will definitely use your advice.

Dear Mohamed Shehata, you call yourself successful people, but unable to answer my simple questions regarding your roles as an editor?!

Remember now and forever Mohamed that, real scientists, don't leave or block but certainly stay and answer their critics scientifically and logically, also remember Mohamed that real research is product and/or services oriented but not just some manuscripts that were published with force of money, and change nothing in our real world!!!

better to wait

See "Another researcher has claimed my publications" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14292798510993 for instructions how to correct this. But unlike this help page suggests, most probably it was not the other author himself who wrongly claimed authorship, but ResearchGate's automatic algorithm wrongly identified him as the author and assigned your publication to his profile. This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate in case of similar names.

Dear Sunil Gavaskar ,

With the development of the Internet of things (IoT), many tasks are automated. The system aims to make the daily tasks of humans in the kitchen easier. This system provides IoT-based Smart Pantry level monitoring using the Internet of things. The containers are fitted with sensors. These are used to gather data about the stock level of items in the container. This data is collected and stored in the cloud.

"The past 20 years has seen a significant increase in articles with 500 or more authors. This increase has presented problems in terms of determining true authorship versus other types of contribution, issues with database metadata and data output, and publication length. Using items with 500+ authors deemed as mega-author titles, a total of 5,533 mega-author items were identified using InCites. Metadata about the items was then gathered from Web of Science and Scopus. Close examination of these items found that the vast majority of these covered physics topics, with medicine a far distant second place and only minor representation from other science fields...

Some solutions are offered for the problems resulting from this phenomenon..."

It depends on what you understand by "publication". To find a journal for publication will be very difficult or even impossible. You may upload your papers here at ResearchGate as "unpublished research", see https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293005132305-How-to-add-research, but this will not be regarded as a publication in the narrow sense. Neverless, this way your papers will get some audience.

Determining the absolute "first" article on vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can be tricky. Research in this area likely built upon earlier concepts in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).

However, here are some strategies to find influential early works:

Here are some potential starting points (though they might not be the absolute first):

Remember, the field of VANETs likely had multiple researchers contributing to its foundation. These resources should help you identify some of the earliest innovators.

Dear Zahraa

The following message I copy it from bell's list:

InTechOpen – Mirror site (note: on 13 May 2016 their entire journal collection have been transferred to SAGE. Any newer issues of these journals should not be considered predatory. InTechOpen now only publishes books. They are still considered to be predatory.)

These are not research papers, but short overview/summary articles, usually of one page only. Jules Morgan is project manager and freelance writer in medical science, health, and education (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jules-morgan-9b3a2646/). Therefore, this number of articles is quiet normal.

Yes. But it's important to highlight the differences in population, time period, and potentially methodology in your submission to emphasize the novelty and relevance of your findings.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

When you type in an author name, the system tries to suggest a name from its database. If the name is not in the database, just hit the Enter button at your keyboard to add the new name.

Many thanks for your answer Wolfgang.

Please stay away from this journal. The publisher has changed, and they still use the migration letters logo, which is from the previous publisher. Moreover, they accept articles without any revision process. Also, they mention they are in the Scopus and WOS; however, they were removed from the Scopus index in 2022. The journal became predatory, according to me, but it's not obvious yet. Plus, check their website. You will see every type of paper except issues related to migration. I hope this answer can help you.

If you really need a DOI, see the reply by Rob Keller to https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_DOI_and_How_to_create. ResearchGate provides DOIs only for unpublished research, see https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293044585745-ResearchGate-DOIs. But note that DOIs are not mandatory. If your publication do not have a DOI, you may simply leave the corresponding field empty.

Thanks all (and ChatGPT)!

Thank you very much for your response, Wolfgang. With best regards, Javier.

I generally start research with some idea of where I'm going to publish it, but don't make the final decision until I'm writing up the results. Keep in mind that you might have to submit to a few different journals before you find one that accepts your manuscript.

Dear Irum Abbasi

The journal “PLOS Medicine” is a highly reputed journal in the field of medicine. Their impact factor 2023 (15.8) is high. So, by itself it is a safe choice. However, I see a number of problems:

-I estimate that they only accept manuscripts with significant impact (and a certain degree of urgency)

-The fee is (ridiculously) high 6300 USD https://plos.org/publish/fees/

-Looking at what you said yourself (my study is ‘very simple’ and the results are limited) I think it is not worth the try since the chances of success are slim to none

I think you should either extent the study or go for a somewhat more modest approach. There are numerous journals out there that can serve your purpose (getting your first research results published). Go for example to SCImago https://www.scimagojr.com click on Journal rankings and select Medicine (and select further for example neurology) then you end up with numerous suggestions. Personally, I would scroll down to Q2 and further (and be sure there are more than enough journals which might not be high impact journals but are just fine and more than just fine).

Best regards.

PS. Take for example https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-the-neurological-sciences here you can choose the open access option (but with a pretty hefty fee) or decline this option and go for the so-called subscription-based option (which is just fine for a first publication published by a well-known publisher that a large majority of researcher can access through their institutional license).

I think it is not a good idea to publish so many PhD thesis related research papers in one journal; it is better if the papers are published in different journals. If you decide to publish all papers in one journal, then you should select a high impact journal, and it is not easily possible. Top high impacts journals have very strict rules and high standards to select papers for publication. However, the importance of the research papers to fill the research gaps bring worth and appreciation.

I think that they are theorems with clear and uncontradictable explanations

ACS

I very much doubt, that a 10 day period to judge manuscripts can ensure a sufficient quality of the papers accepted and published. I would not submit my papers to such a journal, which probably does not have a high impact factor.
