In your opinion, Why big name journals (high impact) develop companion or sister journals?
Hi everyone
Language editing is a major concern for authors who do not have English as their primary language. Problems with grammar, language, and syntax can result in the rejection of manuscripts from international biomedical Journals. The editors and experts often recommend professional editing which can sometimes cost hundreds of dollars. This is not feasible nor affordable for the majority of authors and researchers based in developing countries who do not have sufficient funds or institutional support.
Many online language editing softwares are now available but the better ones have limited functionality for the free version for example Grammarly.
Please share your experience of using online language editing software with their and strengths and shortcomings. I have been Trinka for 4 months now with excellent results and would highly recommend it
It is the world’s first grammar and language enhancement tool is custom-built for academic & technical writing. Its standout features are that it works with the author and goes beyond the grammar and spellcheck to ensure holistic language enhancement.

Our faculty intends to write and edit a case book for undergraduate students. We intend to download and add available WHO guidelines in the field of paediatrics.
Here are three websites that say they have continued the work of Beall's List, which was discontinued due to harassment.
https://beallslist.net/ -- Updated URL
If you have a publisher or a journal that you need to check, I suggest checking all three of these lists.
If you already use one or more of these sites, which do you think is best maintained?
Shouldn't current practices regarding plagiarism be revised? What is your opinion?
Hello,
I have been searching what is the best outlier detection algorithm but I have started to confused which algorithm is better. Because there are many ways to detect the outliers but which one is better for orbit determination. I was reading a book which is written by Bruce P. Gibbs The person mentioned about Outlier detection but it is only a few pages, there is no more information. He introduced two way which are De-Weighting Large Residual and Data Editing. He said Data editing used with much more success in satellite orbit determination. Who has the experience with outlier detection for orbit determination? Can you give a few tips about that?
EDITED:
The Algorithms;
1) 𝑿^𝟐=〖(𝒚−𝒉(𝒙))〗^𝑻 𝑺^(−𝟏) (𝒚−𝒉(𝒙))
2) Residual(i) > 3√(HP 𝐻^𝑇 + R)
3) 3-Sigma
I have applied three algorithms to find the outliers. First one is Chi Square Test, second checks Measurement Covariance Noise, Third looks the 3 sigma.
If the the residual magnitude is less the algorithms performance are good but if the residuals are large, the algorithm performances are not good.
Some timers just an example (it is time not timers) there are such mistakes because of autospell. Is it possible to edit our answer and make corrections in RG answers?
Share your experience about references in a research article, review article, and thesis.
When I submit my manuscript, the editors always comment my manuscript that it looks like a report and not scientific article. I have introduction, lit review, methodology, results, findings and conclusion in my manuscript. Why most editors think my manuscript is more like a report and rejected my manuscript since I have everything as other papers they accepted? How do editors define report and article?
I need a help form you. One of my papers has been accepted by CATENA, Elsevier.
But with the minor revision, they want Standard English as per their journal.
For this, they also advised me to take profession English editing service, but , I can’t afford that service.
I try my level best, but it is still not sufficient for their journal.
So, can anyone help me for this?
Please contact me

Hello,
I am working on Heavy metals removal using adsorption (MX and SX adsorbents) and when i tried to apply Intra-particle diffusion model “IPD” of Weber and Morris i faced some problems.
qt = Kp t1/2 + C
The plots of qt versus t1/2 at different cadmium and copper initial concentrations show multi-linearity characterizations for 30, 40 and 50 mg/L but for 10 and 20 mg/L plot is nearly linear.
In some papers, two or three phases are occurred in the adsorption process but for all concentrations .. For my kinetics results:
1- Should i divide each plot into two phases??
2- Kp and C values (Slope and intercept) should be calculated from the first phase or second phase?
3- what is the interpretation of the results i obtained in the attached excel file?
4- In sheet 5 (in the attached excel) i applied Langmuir and Freundlich model (plot of 6 points each point represents a concentration) but R2 was very bad vaule ... so in sheet 6 i repeated calculations (plot of 3 concentrations only) and R2 became much better .. ... Is this accepted in PhD thesis? or i should put the Charts in sheet 5 as it is whatever R2 be?
** The attached excel sheet show results, charts and question beside each chart.
If there is an ability to edit the excel sheet and reply to me with the edited excel sheet 'with answers' i will be very very grateful...
I really appreciate your help and your time to read my questions and review the attached file.
Thank you.

My advisor has a Mac and uses Text Wrangler (which converts to fasta) and Se-Al (for mass editing) neither of which works on PCs. I've been having difficulties getting other programs to work. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!

I need to create a simple map. However, I have been unable to find something simple, and hopefully free (it should have layers such as roads and protected areas). I have tried some applications such as map box and google map creator, but they are full of unnecessary layers. If you could suggest a mapping utility to create simple maps it will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to start editing part-time, but do not want the headache of freelancing on my own. I would prefer to work for a company. Can anyone help point me in the direction of some resources or companies that outsource proofreading or copyediting assignments?
I have a paper that the editor ask me to provide verification of official permission to make use of the MCNPX program for my work.
Representatives of this motifs are present in most sequenced members of the eubacterial, UmuC families and the MutS1. I found a paper from 2001 and would like to update the information (they used PSI-BLAST,NCBI etc with maual editing). Is there any tool for automatic/quicker search?
I am assuming that a journal standard would take precedence in such a situation, but what about when it's not explicitly stated? Also, would the omission of full stops for 'eg' in British English apply to 'i.e.' as well? So that it would be 'ie' and not 'i.e.'?
I have been invited to submit a paper for an edited book by colleagues in the past. And have jumped at the chances I have been offered. I have not found the guts to take the initiative a write a proposal for a publishing house to review. Many of us haven't either but have a positive attitude towards undertaking such a big step in our career. Editors I have worked with reminds me that it is a headache the only fact to deal with 10 or 12 authors each one with unique egos, styles, strategies to meet deadlines, etc. What does, then, take to become a book editor beyond the "all of the above" easy answer? Is book editing something to fear to the point of never ever considering writing that proposal for gatekeepers to know I have an idea worth while considering?
I have a ready for publication paper concerning spine correction but my English in this paper requires some corrections. Can anyone help me to solve the problem ?
What is the concept behind publishing study protocols for trials and meta-analyses before their actual conduct?
When a scientific protocol is written, is it ever appropriate to not use proper punctuation? When a portion of text appears after a bullet point, is it ever appropriate to omit a period? What about if such a line item constitutes a complete sentence?
I am aware that some scientists or researchers will try to avoid using brand names in their writing. When one must, should these words be capitalized? I was also wondering about using the phrase "Band aid" in scientific writing – should this be capitalized or even used?
