Journalism - Science topic

I am performing a bond test of concrete with metals. Most of the literature reviews that I have looked so far refer to the ASTM C234-91-a. This standard was withdrawn in 2000. However, many research papers and journals, even after 2000, are following the methods in C234. I am looking for ASTM C234 or any other suggestions for standards for doing a pull out / push out test of metals on concrete.

Thank You,

first, I sent my paper for published in springer journal, then I saw my paper in research square web site as preprint paper " https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-2937558/v1" . I want to delete this preprint paper from web site ''research square''. can any one help me to do that.

I would like to publish an article on the MSc Thesis I am concluding.

I want to know whether all the papers published in Scopus Indexed Journals will be in Scopus Database for sure, or scopus will evaluate all papers and take specific paper on their Database

Please let me know...

Thank you

What should be an ideal timeline for Review, acceptance and Publication of Research papers in Highly Reputed Web Sci indexed , Scopus indexed Journal ?

How can I check the status of a manuscript that I have submitted to JMIS (Journal of Management Information Systems)? I submitted my manuscript via e-mail and I did not receive any reply e-mail confirming the success of my submission.

Name of Springer journals of 5-7 IF on abiotic stress tolerance

Many researche published his/her research paper in SCI index, web of Science, Scopus index and UGC care list but which one is best.

A manuscript submitted to a journal 8 months back..if the status changes from with editor(after 1 day of submission) to reviewer assigned (after 1 week )to under review(after 1 month) to again reviewer assigned(after 1 week) to again with editor (after 8 moths of submission) what does this change in status signify plz answer my query

Dear colleagues

I have recently performed a meta-analysis project however one of the journal reviewers asked me to perform GRADE scoring for the results. Do you know any special software helping me?

JOO is the leading Orthopaedic journal from Asia with a Cite Score of 2.5 and Impact Factor of 1.5 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-orthopaedics). We shall be happy to include the interested researchers with an h-index of >10.

ChatGPT scored a 155 on an IQ test , and has sufficient background to process mathematical proof review for example and verifying scientific formulas and checking at real time the plagiarism traces but the scientific community argues that the confidentiality breach prevents the use of AI as recognized peer reviewer , what do you think about it ? writers and journals should they recognize the AI as a valid peer reviewer ?

Most journals considered predatory are not really predatory. I have personally sent articles to check how they operate. They did plagiarism test and also reviewed the papers. Another aspect is that, they are fast and cheaper. They dysmystify the research publishing process. However, older publishers and their editors will not accept this truth because it represents a threat to their monopoly. They came up with all kinds of databases spreading scare among scholars not to publish or review for the new open access. The irony is that, the same people who accused the new publishers of not doing peer review are also telling academics not to act as editors or reviewers for such journals. Their aim is to kill competition and perpetuate monopoly. They conveniently forget the antitrust law, for those based here in USA. Institutions should award credit to those who work for open access journals as editors not minding whether they are indexed in one particular platform or not. Institutions should also take the issue of peer review seriously by awarding points for peer reviewing. If academics and professionals get fully involved in open access publishing, high quality knowledge will be available on the go, time for publishing will reduce and cost of publishing an article will be pushed down by competition. At the moment the old publishers who charge over 2000 dollars for their open access journals are the real predators. People living in Nigeria my country for example, have attained very high level of information technology such that many are on the internet 24/7. So why should a Nigerian scholar pay three times his monthly salary to get published when there are international publishers based on the country charging around 100 dollars. Is it not the same people who write and publish in the so called whitelisted journals that publish there? What is needed in Nigeria and India which already have the technology for publishing science digitally is for academics to get involved in the editorial process. This will make them know those publishers that are abiding by ethics and the headache of having to wait for six months for editorial decision only for your paper to be rejected will be solved. Also, before patronizing a publisher online check the age of the website. If it has existed for five years and its articles are clearly accessible without adverts and technical quits, then you have a guarantee that it's a journal that will not short down within a short period of time. Universities should help their research get visible globally online by acknowledging all journals being covered by Google Scholar and whose articles can be found on researchgate.net

Cata Suárez-Tovar and I have just submitted as special issue proposal to Animal Behaviour journal on the above topic. This proposal has been accepted so we are now looking for possible participants.

The proposal background is as follows.

Foraging behavior is linked to individual fitness and survival, and is particularly affected by environmental changes as human disturbance. In this regard, we are starting to understand the adaptations that allow animals to survive in man-driven environments. This information is still disorganized in the literature and, given this, we are still unaware of the following: a) whether animals have converged/diverged in their foraging strategies; b) to what extent foraging theory applies to urbanized environments where, for example, complexity of prey diversity is reduced; c) whether simplicity of urbanized areas facilitates foraging abilities such as learning; d) how predators from different taxonomic groups have adapted to forage in urbanized environments. Our proposal of a special issue is novel and, as implied above, intends to provide an updated, state-of-the-art revision of the above topics. We aim to invite authors from diverse backgrounds in terms of country origin and gender. The idea is to gather 6-8 papers from senior and young scientists. Animal Behaviour is possibly the most important journal in the field.

I have a requirement to publish a research paper in Science Citation Index (SCI) or Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) indexed journal only in the field of Engineering, Manufacturing, Production, Mechanical engineering or multidisciplinary journal.

Please suggest some fast publication journals with paid or free options. How much charges applicable for the paid journals?

I m searching for journals that would publish my work on pharmacy and pharmacology i will appreciate any help from fellow scientists

Prof. Huu Hao NGO (Ngo) claims to have more than 800 publications! Is this a realistic number or a sign of academic misconduct?

Prof. Huu Hao NGO (Ngo) is an editor for 12 journals at the same time, 7 of them from the same publisher: Elsevier. Is this a conflict of interest or a way to boost his citation count?

including:

- Bioresource Technology (vice chief editor of Bioresource Technology), Elsevier;

- Bioresource Technology Reports, Elsevier

- Science of the Total Environment, Elsevier;

- Journal of Water Process Engineering, Elsevier;

- Heliyon Journal, Elsevier

- Environmental Nanotechnology, Monitoring, and Management, Elsevier;

- Chemical Engineering Journal, Elsevier;

- Journal of Energy and Environmental Sustainability, IJSEES;

- Environmental Science and  Ecotechnology, EHIT;

- Journal of Bioengineered, Taylor & Francis.

- Journal of Environmental Functional Materials (EFM)

- Water Cycle, KeAi

How can Prof. Huu Hao NGO (Ngo) manage to edit so many journals and produce so many papers without compromising the quality and integrity of his work? Is he following the ethical standards of his field?

It appears that Prof. Huu Hao NGO (Ngo) has a tendency to publish a significant number of his works in the journals he edits. For instance, he has published 153 articles in Bioresource Technology, 87 articles in Science of The Total Environment, 25 in Chemical Engineering Journal, and 20 in Journal of Water Process Engineering. This raises questions about the impartiality of the review process and whether his position as an editor influences the acceptance of his papers. It’s crucial for academic integrity that all submissions are treated equally, regardless of the author’s affiliations.

With an impressive record of over 800 publications to his name, Prof. Huu Hao NGO’s (Ngo) publishing rate varies depending on the duration of his career. If we consider a span of 10 years, Prof. Ngo has been producing an average of 80 publications annually, which equates to roughly 7 articles per month or approximately 2 articles every week. However, if we extend this period to 20 years, the rate decreases to approximately 40 publications per year, or about 3-4 articles per month and roughly 1 article per week.

According to the journal cited below, methodology should be investigated whenever zone diameters are consistently not within the mean range because there might be an error. Control charts such as Shewhart Diagram, and Westgard rules were mentioned to be helpful in interpreting changes and monitoring the performance, aside from those two, what are the other useful methods that we can utilize to assess the zone diameter issues?

I sent a manuscript to a Journal for publishing. The journal requested me to nominate three potential reviewers. who can help with this issue? they requested the First name, last name, email, and reason for selecting this reviewer.

I would like to know if the 'Letter to the Editor' published in any reputed scientific research journal (SCI indexed) has any value and adds any marks to the API score.

I am intending to send my review paper to a reputable journal. Since most of the journals nowadays require authors to submit together a graphical abstract, can I compile some of pictures from previous literatures and add on extra information from my review paper?

I will be very happy if I can get as many of such journals as possible in Poultry Science.

I just uploaded my last article (Trotta A., 2023. Spiders from Liguria) but I don't be able to change the title of the journal. The journal it is not the "Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases".

The right Journal is: Bulletin of Environmental and Life Sciences.

Awaiting your reply, best regards

I have prepared a research article about in-app advertising. Considering the word limit and the theme of my paper, I believe that the 'International Journal of Electronic Commerce' is suitable for publishing. However, on this journal's website and published articles, there's no mention of the acceptance time/date and time taken for the first decision. Please, provide relevant information about this journal.

Are you able if able then share your thoughts please 🙏.

Hello everyone! I am looking for Q1 journals in which it is free to publish in the area of ​​microbiology or pharmacology and I wanted to know if you know of any.

I am preparing a research article on public health and health promotion for a BMC Public Health journal which is open access. My university is not a member of the Springer Nature membership for APC fee waiver. This means that I would have to pay the APC fee myself. This is not fair.

Can anyone provide some support or advice on what I should do. Previous publications have been within hybrid journals, which are not open access and I was happy to take the embargo period.

What subscription only or hybrid journals on public health accept embargo?

Finding a way to cover the higher article publication fees is a problem because, as we all know, money is king during this season. Please recommend several low-cost or free journals that produce top-notch research articles and have a high impact factor.

I need some suggestions for free SCIE indexed journals in related to mechanical or materials Sciences/engineering with in one month review period?

Specially related to materials fabrications through powder metallurgy or Casting and machining of composite

Where can I get Latex template for the Springer Journal: International Journal of Information Security? https://www.springer.com/journal/10207

It should be a double-column template.

I have an article that aligns perfectly with the theme of a special issue in an open-access journal. Regrettably, I currently lack the necessary resources to complete it. Consequently, the article has remained unfinished and unsubmitted to the journal since 2022. I am actively seeking potential collaborators who have expertise in the area of our article and are willing to contribute to the manuscript's revision. Additionally, if possible, collaborators who can share in the publication fees. My primary goal is to find a knowledgeable collaborator who can enhance the quality of our work. Your guidance and suggestions are highly appreciated.

Recently, I am finding journal has increased their paper submission charges in all countries. It become difficult to find good journals with less charges. So people can suggest me good journals......

Do you agree with me that the journal's editor's decision regarding your submitted paper is frequently influenced by factors other than the caliber of your work? Unfortunately, your name and your place of residence may be crucial factors in either desk rejection or moving the work to the review procedure.

I plan to present my findings on the conference. After that, I want to write a full-text article and submit it to the journal. About 90% of results will be new, while remaining 10% will be from my conference abstract.

Can I include preliminary findings from my conference abstract in further manuscript? It is ethical and do not disagree with policies of journals that "Results reported have not been published elsewhere"?

Is it possible to index a new scientific journal in ResearchGate?

Dear friends and colleagues

Hello

I need guidance on choosing the right journal for my work.

1- Although some journals are classified as Q2 in Scopus and have a reputable publisher such as Springer, they are not indexed in the Web of Science and do not have an impact factor. What do you think about these types of journals?

2- As you know, Scopus and Web of Science have classified journals according to Q, which is different in many cases. For example, a journal may be classified as Q1 in Scopus, but the same journal is classified as Q2 in Web of Science. Which Q is the criterion? Universities and research institutes consider researchers' research scores according to which Q?

I am waiting for your valuable answers.

Thank you so much.

Yours sincerely,

Kiumars Khani Aminjan

Dear Sir,

On belfalf of the others Editors-in-chief of Jornal Brasileiro de Psiquiatria, we would like to know how can we update the page (https://www.researchgate.net/journal/Jornal-Brasileiro-de-Psiquiatria-0047-2085).

Hi, everyone!

I'm considering generating a DOI for my thesis, but I wondered if this would be a problem if I wanted to write a paper out of it.

Theoretically, the paper would not be exactly the same as my thesis, but it would be pretty similar.

Does it depend on the journal, or there is no problem whatsoever?

If I submit an article in a journal and then agree to publish it as a preprint. But, later it will be rejected by the submitted journal then what can I do?

Here is the latest JCR Impact Factor 2022 in Excel format without quartiles provided by the Journal Citation Report (JCR), which is released in June 2023.

Please send me a private message for this.

Dear all

I've been doing RCT research for a year, and I recruited 54 participants, but the results showed that all my data don't follow the normal distribution!!!!! and so we had to use nonparametric analysis for all of them. My question is, will using non-parametric analysis decrease the value and chance of my study for publication in a top journal?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

I'm struggling to publish my work because I cannot find a good journal with less publication fee as most of the good journals are charging more than $2000. My work is based on colorimetric LAMP assay with a novel fluorescent dye.

I am a researcher in the field of computer science and would like to share my experience as well as my concerns. I have more than 15 years of experience in engineering discipline and almost 8 years of experience in academia.

Many times, I have urge from my senior colleagues and researchers to submit articles in journals which clearly falls in the category of applied science or engineering such as the IEEE journals including its transactions and Elsevier journals.

Generally, from my experience a pure scientific article when submitted to an engineering domain journal often has negative results and most of the time reviews received will be subjective, sometime contradictory, and often reviewers say they are unable to understand the certain aspects of the proposed method or suggest explaining some well-known terms and editor will make ground based on above results to make a negative decision. The problem may not be with the article but the background of reviewers/editors.

From fundamental definition point of view science should focus on the new novel methods and engineering focuses on the application of existing scientific methods to determine the practicality. Of course, not all scientific methods can be practical in an intuitive way at a given time and situation, but novelty is the main concern in scientific methods only. For engineering prospects, the methods are not necessarily to be novel, rather using existing scientific methods and tools it may focus on determining new insights from the application point of view.

But in practice the line between science and engineering has diminished, science journals are publishing engineering articles and engineering journals are publishing the science journals.

Do you think the line between science and engineering has diminished and the potential consequences are discouraging science research?, Please share your experience.

I red a paper on an important journal of cardiology. In this work they found that 8 miRNAs were dysregulated in plasma samples of a study cohor of 1710 participants (Controls + patientes affected by Heart failure). I evaluated these 8 miRNAs in plasma samples in a study-cohort of 129 subjects (Controls + Heart failure patients) and I found that only 2 miRNAs were dysregulated according to the work I red. Because I have to explain thi data in "Discussion" I don't know how to explain this difference. Why could be the main reason of these different results? Maybe the size samples or other? Thank you

How do I share a public link of my paper in the network?

I got the journal permission to share the following link of my recent paper

How do I share it technically?

Is the Journal of Physics & Optics Sciences a predatory journal?

My article is in the last issue of the Journal of Mathematical Economics and Finance, The Buckingham’s π Theorem: Consequences for the Price Theory,  Vol 9 No 1 (2023): JMEF, Volume IX, Issue 1(16), Summer 2023, was assigned DOI number https://doi.org/10.14505/jmef.v9.1(16).02. However the Research Gate informed me, that this number belongs to another item. The Journal confirmed that the number is unique and belongs to my paper. So please inform me how to proceed.

I am preparing a manuscript to submit to the journal Expert Systems with Applications. I have these instructions for the submission "It is mandatory that the full names, full affiliation with country and email address of every contributing author must be included in title (authorship) page of the manuscript. The first page of the manuscript should contain the title of the paper, and the full name, full affiliation with country and email address of every contributing author. The second page of the manuscript should begin with the paper abstract. Note that cover letter is not title (authorship) page." Does anybody know how I can achieve this result using the official LaTeX template of elsevier articles (elsarticle.cls)?

I am currently developing a manuscript which I plan to submit in one of the journal available in the web of science list.

I’m seeking information about how to change my author affiliation for an article published in the past. I reached out to the journal editor, who stated that the article is indexed by EBSCO and ERIC, so my affiliation is in their database.

Can anyone offer information about (1) whether changing the affiliation is possible and (2) how to go about getting it changed, if it’s possible to make the change?

Thanks a bunch!
