On SpringerLink I found the complete article with the two missing pages of the list of references. Interestingly enough, there was no Muller (1979) reference in the list. Makes me wonder if it even exists. The GeoJournal that everybody uses in their references didn't even exist in 1969.
From now on I will use the article that you shared. Thanks.

Hi everyone
I am looking for a method to calculate citations from the Google Scholar database excluding the self citations. I can do it if I check each and every publication however it will cost my time. I am searching for some methods to calculate for a group of articles. Any help will be appreciated.

Answer
Unfortunately, Google Scholar does not provide an option to automatically exclude self-citations when calculating citations for a group of articles. However, there are several tools available that can help you to exclude self-citations from your calculations by parsing your Google Scholar profile or publications. One example of such a tool is CiteRanger, which is a free web application that can help you to generate citation reports for your publications, and which allows you to exclude self-citations. Other tools that can be used to exclude self-citations include Publish or Perish and Web of Science.
To use these tools, you will typically need to provide a list of your publications, which can be generated either manually or by exporting your publications from your Google Scholar profile. Once you have your publication list, you can upload it to the tool and customize your citation report to exclude self-citations as desired. The tool will then generate a report that shows the total number of citations for each of your publications, excluding any self-citations.
It's important to note that while excluding self-citations can help to improve the accuracy of your citation metrics, it can also artificially lower your h-index and other author-level metrics. Therefore, it's important to use your citation metrics in conjunction with other measures of research impact, such as peer review and external funding.

Recently I've switched from a windows computer to a mac. For years jabref (https://www.jabref.org/) has been my reference management software. I use the .bib files with LaTeX for the majority of my citations. However, for reports and some documents that use a word template, I have been using docear4word (https://docear.org/software/add-ons/docear4word/download/) which integrates beautifully with MS Word under windows OS.
Docear for word cannot be installed in word for mac, and I've maintained curated .bib databases using jabref for my CV (over 300 entries) and research (approx. 4000 entries).
Does anyone know feasible alternatives -not requiring the quite imperfect export of .bib entries to .xml- of using .bib files with MS Word using macos? I suspect I'm not alone in this pursuit ...
Relevant answer
Gustavo Henrique Naves Givisiez I have managed to make a duplicate from my JabRef bib file entries into Zotero. I've done this by importing a master JabRef .bib with ~3500 entries into Zotero. I've also made sure that the BibTex Key remained the same in Zotero - there's an option for that (which I don't recall exactly). The problem was that this workflow requires an update of both bibliographies which was both annoying and cumbersome. For me this remains an open problem that I try to avoid by using LaTeX whenever I can - although sometimes is quite difficult or even impossible to avoid using MS Word.

I want to copy exact figures from papers licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
I will give proper credit, in the form of citation/reference to the original source in my paper.
However, issue is that when I look for permission to reuse the figure on the journal website, they do not usually have any option like Elsevier or Springer has at their article sites (maybe because they have already provided full license ?, but I am not sure ?)
But this license code is clearly mentioned over there. Hence, its fine to just download the figure, paste in my document and move forward ?

In academic writing, there is a recent call for having collaborators, shared credits and shared writings. This helps in improving the peer reviewed work and also increases the chances of more citations. It also offers higher citeability, higher technical significance, higher impact and better readership. However, do you support single-authored papers or multiple-authored papers?
As an author who has published within both single authored papers and multiple authored papers, I prefer the later. However, some institutions require single authored papers to be considered for promotion from senior lecturers to assistant professorship roles.
Some other places like in Nigerian universities grade the lecturers for promotions based on the number of Q1 and Q2 international journals, and also preferably those where they have less authors (like 2, 3 or 4) - not really single authored papers.
In China, I learnt they score based on the quality of the journals - as high impact journals are preferred, mainly Q1 and Q2 journals, and also if you are the first author, lead author or/and corresponding author.
There are also some experts or scholars with the opinion that multiple-authored papers are of higher quality than single-authored paper, although that position is subject to debate. Do you think that there should be a question of quality consideration for scoring research output?
To me, I would appreciate better collaborators as co-authors, but it is not usually the case. The first authors mostly do about 55-85% of the work in multiple authored papers. Also, my take based on lessons learnt personally is that a single-author paper requires more work from the author, more time, more effort, more responsibility, more research, more writing, hence it is much more work.
Thus, I will support the motion that a single-author article should have a higher score than a multiple-author paper. However, feel free to share your thoughts. Do you support single-authored papers or multiple-authored papers?

If supervisors don't put enough time to help their students in preparing a paper, it doesn't make sense to include their names. Be that as it may, nowadays, faculty members take advantage of being in charge of a lab or providing students with funds, expecting them to do 99.99 % of the work. That's why you see many professors don't have their knowledge updated over the course of time, and yet their h-index goes up incessantly, enabling them to become full professors while their knowledge might be as much as a student's.

A decrease in citations by 1 may happen when a publication was deleted from ResearchGate (because RG counts only citations in publications present in RG) or when duplicate entries were merged automatically (see the section "Why are there duplicate research items on my profile?" in the help page https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Reviewing%2C+featuring%2C+and+editing+your+research for this mechanism). When the number of citations decreases, also the "Research Interest Score" (RIS) may decrease. See https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293473316753: "A citation has a weighting of 0.5." This means that your RIS decreased by 0.5 due to the decreased number of citations, but increased by 0.2 for other reasons at the same time.

Dear peers, this is the research question about ChatGPT ethical challenges for medical publishing.
  • asked a question related to Citations
Question
2 answers
The significance of the inquiry, "Is it possible to make the citation process equitable for publications written in a language with a smaller readership than other languages?" resides in the requirement for inclusivity and diversity in scholarly research. This query focuses on the difficulties experienced by authors whose works are published in languages with a lesser readership and discusses the problem of language bias in citation practices. It is possible to make sure that worthwhile research is acknowledged and rewarded regardless of the language in which it is published by developing equal citation policies for publications in various languages. It is important for advancing knowledge and tackling difficult problems to foster variety of ideas and viewpoints in academic research, which can be done by addressing language bias in citation procedures.
Relevant answer
Answer
As somebody who publishes in German and English, I am rather pessimistic concerning an equitable citation process (whatever that is). I can only read in these two languages, which means that I am not able to read - and thus cite - anything else. There is very little I can do about this. Adding citations to unread publications in other languages (e.g. because I know the authors work in my field) would be dysfunctional and unethical. Processing a publication with an AI-based translation software is still risky and does not give me an authorized version.
In research, we have a global conversation on a shared subject, and we need to understand each other's contributions. We can build our own contributions only on what we understand. Thus, there is a systematic disadvantage in the science system to those whose first language is not English because English is the dominant language in all fields (perhaps with the exception of a few humanities fields). If we want our contributions to be perceived and understood by the majority of our community, we need to pbulish them in English. If we don't do this, the majority cannot understand and thus cite our contributions.
One way of not letting this disadvantage grow is not using citations as an evaluation measure in fields in which publications in other languages than English are important (social sciences and humanities, applied fields etc.). I happen to think that citations should never be used as performance indicators, but that is an aside.

Answer
This journal “Open Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports” seems to be a so-called stand-alone journal which is mentioned in the Beall’s list (https://beallslist.net/standalone-journals/ ). This a red flag that this might be a predatory journal. This is an indication but there are more red flags that this journal is most likely predatory:
-Contact info looks questionable (does not seem to resemble a ‘real’ office)
-Impact factor claim is misleading. They are not indexed in Clarivate’s SCIE index (which can be checked here https://mjl.clarivate.com/home ) and therefor they have by definition no impact factor.
-In addition to the fake impact factor info they mention in their indexing info DRJI, a so-called misleading metric (https://www.jclinmedcasereports.com/indexing.html ) often used by predatory journals
-They use in their open access info (https://www.jclinmedcasereports.com/open-access.html ) large parts of the text from the following website (https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-research/about/the-fundamentals-of-open-access-and-open-research ) without proper reference. Compare:
“Open Access is the free of charge, instant, online availability of research articles, together with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital milieu.” With the original “Open access (OA) refers to the free, immediate, online availability of research outputs such as journal articles or books, combined with the rights to use these outputs fully in the digital environment”
So, I would say this is a journal to avoid.

I want to pick a published dataset (after giving proper citation and securing copyright also) from one article and after that I want to solve it with different software and compare it with the published results. Is it ethically fine or there is some violation of ethics?
Relevant answer
Answer
In general, it is allowed to use a dataset for further analysis or to solve a problem using alternative techniques/software if the dataset is publicly available and the published paper includes a reference to it. However, it is crucial to make sure that you cite the original paper as the dataset's source and give the authors of that paper the correct credit.
The legal ability to utilize the dataset for your intended purposes must also be confirmed. Some datasets might only be usable for non-commercial purposes, require permission from the original authors, or have other limitations on their use. To make sure you are using the dataset properly, you should carefully study any conditions of use or licensing agreements that are related to it.
The methods and tools you are employing should also be carefully evaluated to see if they are acceptable for the dataset and the research topic you are attempting to answer. It's possible that specific techniques or software won't work well with the dataset you're using or won't yield accurate findings. As a result, it's crucial to carry out the proper validation and verification of any results that were acquired using the dataset and the methods/software you've selected.

The accessibility and discoverability of a publication may be impacted by the language in which it is written, which may have an impact on how many citations it receives. For instance, publications written in a language other than English might have a smaller potential readership and be less likely to be mentioned by academics who don't speak that language. The visibility and accessibility of non-English articles can be improved by the numerous citation databases and search engines that are built to index publications in multiple languages. Regardless of the language used for publication, the main aspect that will affect a publication's citation rates is the caliber and applicability of the research that is presented in it.

In the context of academic ethics, how does the scholarly community view the intentional omission of citations to previous work based on personal relationships? Furthermore, to what extent can the selection of peer reviewers influence such omissions? Despite the emphasis on scientific rigor, concerns about these issues persist in the academic world.
Relevant answer
Answer
Ahmed El Hassani This is an interesting question. I believe the academic community would collectively agree that any omission of citation to other authors' previous work would be wrong, whatever the context or author. That said, perhaps the intentional omission of citation that you are talking about is because the authors believe it is self-evident due to their own personal relationship and perspective. However, any author using the work of others needs to remember the reader's perspective and the necessity for attribution of work, and peer reviewers would definitely have a role in pointing out where citation is missing before work is published.

To enable hyperlinked citations in Zotero, you need to follow these steps:
Make sure you have installed the Zotero connector for your web browser and the word processor integration for your preferred word processor.
Add your bibliographic citations to your Zotero library.
Insert the citations into your document using the Zotero plugin for your word processor. When you insert citations, make sure the "Generate bibliography from citations" option is checked.
Once you have inserted your citations, you can update them to include hyperlinks by right-clicking on a citation in your document and selecting "Update Citations and Bibliography".
If you have followed these steps and are still unable to enable hyperlinked citations, you can try checking the Zotero settings to ensure that the "Quick Copy" feature is enabled. To do this, go to Preferences > Export, select the "Quick Copy" tab, and make sure that the format is set to "Rich Text" and that the "Automatically generate bibliography" and "Copy links to document notes" options are checked.

Answer
There can be several reasons why new citations to your paper may not show up in Google Scholar immediately. Here are some possible explanations:
  1. Delay in indexing: It can take some time for Google Scholar to index new citations. The indexing process can take several days or even weeks, depending on the frequency of updates to the database.
  2. Citation format: Google Scholar may not recognize certain citation formats, such as non-standard or incomplete citations. Make sure that the citing authors have provided a complete and accurate citation, including the title, author names, publication date, and journal or conference name.
  3. Citing article is not indexed: If the citing article is not indexed in Google Scholar, the citation may not appear in your profile. In this case, you can try to manually add the citation to your profile by clicking on the "Add article" button in your Google Scholar profile and entering the citation details.
  4. Duplicate publications: If the citing article is a duplicate publication of your paper (e.g., a conference paper that was later published as a journal article), Google Scholar may not count it as a new citation. In this case, the citation may already be included in your profile as part of the original publication.
If you are still experiencing issues with citations not appearing in your Google Scholar profile, you can contact Google Scholar support for assistance.

ChatGPT cannot develop a story based on existing literature. Second, if a researcher instructs ChatGPT to compose a literature review, it generates fictitious and hypothetical in-text citations and references.

I published the following paper with my international colleagues in the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition (JARMAC) in 2019.
Eyewitness memory distortion following co-witness discussion: A replication of Garry, French, Kinzett, and Mori (2008) in ten countries.
However, JARMAC was transferred from the initial publisher, Elsevier, to the current publisher, APA, in 2022. Then, both publishers list this paper on their sites with different DOIs. Consequently, the researchgate lists it as two separate ones with different citation records. How can I merge them into a single record?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Kazuo Mori ,
Normally you can merge two papers, see for example here on RG:
Indeed, the new owner assigned a new DOI:
if I enter your paper through Elsevier:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2211368118301062 and I click on the (obsolete/original DOI link) I get redirected to the new owner.
Personally, I would try to merge them, see the section "Why are there duplicate research items on my profile?" in the help page https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Reviewing%2C+featuring%2C+and+editing+your+research and use the original DOI.
Best regards.
PS. I agree with you something went wrong here and the new owner is to blame. Fortunately, I had a proper experience with one of my papers:
My paper with DOI 10.2478/s11658-010-0036-y was published by Versita:
The prediction of novel multiple lipid-binding regions in protein translocation motor proteins: A possible general feature
and (at the same time?) used to be part of/published by Springer:
then the journal behind it was transferred to de Gruyter:

I mean, in articles, everyone refers to the piezoelectric charge constant d31 or the electromechanical coupling factor k33 or the piezoelectric voltage constant g15 and so on, as if it is the most natural notation in piezoelectricity to state the constants in function of the axes, as described here:
In my view, it is not such a trivial notation that one can understand naturally without studying it. However, very rarely is any explanation given about this notation and the vast majority of articles begin to present piezoelectric constants without the slightest clarification of what they refer to. Even review articles! I already saw the notation of d11 and d33 in an article from 1934, therefore not recent at all:
But I cannot find a reference source where the convention of this notation is defined.
In short, I want to write "the coefficient d33 according to the notation by [citation X]." Is there any convention or standard that we can refer to?

I apologize for the confusion. If you are not finding the specific citation for the APHA, AWWA, WEF Standard Methods of Water and Wastewater 21st edition in Mendeley, you may need to manually create the reference. Here is an example citation in APA style:
APHA, AWWA, & WEF. (2005). Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (21st ed.). American Public Health Association/American Water Works Association/Water Environment Federation.
You can add this citation to your Mendeley library and select it when you are ready to generate your bibliography . If you are using a different citation style, you may need to adjust the formatting accordingly.
I hope this helps!

Answer
Hi there,
The most important question is, if you should cite unpublished work in that way.
Usually, you cite published work so that researchers in the field can look into the publication for details of the work. If your work has not been published so far, the citation is useless...
It makes sense to mention your results and to write that it is so far unpublished work.

Hellow.
I released My Thesis in Theoretical Physics 2 Years ago, last version 7 months ago. Almost 15,000 unique people have downloaded it. Total 34,000 downloads. An amount bigger than the entire Theoretical Physics community. I wonder how is it possible that I have not received not a single mention, in other peer reviewed paper. That is despite solving ,with no doubt, one of the most burning questions in the field by providing a numerical proof.
What kind of people are those who do Theoretical Physics ? They either don't know, which is not likely at that point, March 2023, considering the total download volume. The second option is that they do know that answer was found and they are quite, which is not likely either. What should one do In such Situation ?

Hi, again, Dr Ohad Manor
I totally know what you mean about hostile researchers. I have found over time I just have to say what I mean and the truth is not what they want to hear. Are you under pressure to be "nice"?
As for public speaking, I am the first to point out I am hopeless/terrible but it is something that will not go away and is essential as a skill as part of promoting my research. It is not possible to run away from it. The only way I can deal with it is practise a lot of times. And when I am finished with that, I practise more! Some of my colleagues think I am strange but, as I say, that has become necessary for me.

Two of my case reports have been 'CITED' in 'Reactions' (a springer journal) under certain drug effects. They are published under subscription basis so the citations are not counted in RG or Google scholar. What is the average embargo period of such articles and if these are never made free to access, will the citations never counted?
Your experience on the matter are much welcome!!!
Relevant answer
Answer
First let me express that you assumption that citations from a subscription-based journal are not counted (or only counted after an embargo period) is not true. Obviously, there might a little delay since a subscription-based journal follow a procedure of accepted version, on line first version and the final version with issue and page numbers etc. but depending on the publisher this can be quite fast.
Just literally a few minutes ago I received a notification from RG for a new citation for one of my papers from a subscription-based journal:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0308814623006106?via%3Dihub so citations fro a subscription based journal count (and can be added quite rapidly).
In your case I think the ‘problem’ is the special nature of the journal(?) “reactions weekly” https://www.springer.com/journal/40278 It is more a ‘newspaper’ where one can address special attention to a recently published case report (in another ‘real’ journal). It looks to me that Springer (or RG?) stopped with downloading some meta-data of new items quite some years ago. Only the items (like you have done with the one you wrote) which are uploaded by the author themselves will be ‘indexed’ and counted.
Best regards.

I do not find this decently sensible in any way. They (RG site persons) imply that they just want to have members go to (or back to) what THEY 'see' as THE major research (so, ALL should be reading just largely out-of context and esoteric published research (or pre-published articles) and, that is all).
Somehow they, apparently, think Projects are needlessly distracting and of lesser value; this outlook will make what is presented by each and every member LIMITED (not to mention boring and with many of the Articles' presentations poorly-founded and esoteric). And, these very poorly based or poorly contextualized studies ARE OFTEN unintelligible as presented in the revered peer-reviewed Articles, no matter how learned a reader may be.. (Citations or multiple citations for just about EVERY sentence, surely does not mean high quality NOR well-integrated OR useful for ANY true science OR for any supposedly developing science.) Researchgate wants to recreate that which is top of mind for many :Psychology pseudo-'scientists' ; publications, publications, publications !! -- peer-reviewed, but often RUINED. And for academics used to or highly rewarded for such, this place (RG), simply stated, will be just what was present before the Internet.

Relevant answer
Answer
This error message typically appears when there is a conflict between the citation styles used in your document and the Mendeley software. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:
✓ Check the citation style: Make sure that the citation style used in your document matches the style in Mendeley. If there is a discrepancy between the styles, it may cause the error message to appear.
✓ Remove the index area: If the error message persists, try removing the index area from your document. To do this, go to the "References" tab in Word and click on "Insert Index". In the dialog box that appears, select the "Index" tab and click on "Delete Index". This should remove any existing index areas in your document.
✓ Re-insert citations: Once the index area has been removed, try inserting your citations from Mendeley again. Make sure that the citations are placed in the correct location in your document and that they are formatted correctly.

You may reduce the number of messages you receive from RG by changing settings in your RG account, see https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Managing+your+email+settings for instructions. - I guess you receive these messages as a follower or as coauthor of Noel Cressie.
