Yes, this is definitely a problem - it is more so for people with names that are common and not special... like me!
I frequently have articles attributed to me which are not correct. Being relatively ethical, I do not let these add those to my list of research output but I know lots of people that turn a blind eye" in these situations because it improves their citations and h-index and so on.

Question
1 answer
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

Please let me know, If i want to Publish our work in Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering, whether it belongs to OA OR SUBSCRIPTION based?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Nandisha Reddy P S please do recommend my answer if it was helpful.
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the status of journals, whether they are open access (OA) or subscription-based, can change over time. To determine the current access model for the Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering, you should visit the journal's official website or check a reliable academic database or directory. Here's how you can find this information:
  1. Visit the Journal's Website: Go to the official website of the Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering. Most journals provide information about their access model (OA or subscription-based) on their homepage or in their "About" or "Guidelines for Authors" section.
  2. Check Academic Databases: You can also use academic databases like PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, or directories like the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) to search for the journal. These databases often provide information about the access model of the journal.
  3. Contact the Journal: If you can't find the information on the journal's website or in databases, consider reaching out to the journal's editorial office or publisher for clarification. They should be able to provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding the journal's access model.
Please keep in mind that the status of journals can change, and open access initiatives have been growing in recent years. Many journals are transitioning from subscription-based to OA or adopting hybrid models, which offer both subscription and OA options for authors. Therefore, it's essential to verify the current access model before submitting your work for publication.

I agree, there is something odd when it comes to “International Journal of Social Science Research and Review”. They are too new (and small) to be mentioned in the Beall’s list () but there are enough red flags:
-Contact info Falkstraße 69 47058 Duisburg, Germany is an ‘ordinary’ street and at best a private apartment of someone
-It is supposedly the residence of “The Global Institute for Multidisciplinary Knowledge and Responsible Future” which is according to the people behind this journal part of the “University of Duisburg-Essen” (https://ijssrr.com/journal/Sponsorship )
-Compare all this with the real info about this university https://www.uni-due.de/de/universitaet/orientierung.php and share my suspicion that this is a blunt example of misleading info and deception
-A linked journal (and linked to the institute) is all off a sudden now located in Hamburg (https://ijmmu.com/index.php/ijmmu/about/contact )
-The same misleading info can be found here https://ijssrr.com/journal/Indexing logos of for example DOAJ is misleading since they are no member. The mentioning of CiteFactor, Cosmos etc. are notorious examples of misleading metrics () often used by predatory journals/publishers
-The editorial board https://ijssrr.com/journal/about/editorialTeam does not correspond with the claimed German origin/location of the journal, again misleading, why hide the true origin
-I am almost certain that the mentioned “Thomas Campbell” here as the claimed coordinator https://ijssrr.com/journal/about/contact is fake
Not even looking at the published papers there are too many red flags. I personally would say avoid.

I found very similar questions but I would like to hear more opinions on this.
My paper was recently accepted by a conference and I'm preparing for the camera ready version.
However in the reviews, one reviewer says "the authors must add another 4-7 references in their final version ( camera ready) before the paper is officially published. The following references must be added: " A), B), C), D), E), F) .
The reviewer listed six papers which have a common author who is one of the technical committees of the conference.
The first two papers A) B) are obviously irrelevant to my research and I have no idea how to cite them.
Other four are somehow relevant and I could cite one of them.
However, "must be added" sounds a bit strange to me and I wonder if I really need to follow it.
Do I have to cite all of those papers and is it compulsive?

If a manuscript has been published in a campus repository, then the manuscript will be published in a journal. Is this allowed in terms of publication ethics?
Relevant answer
Answer
In general, the publication ethics and policies of journals may vary. Some journals may consider manuscripts that have been previously published in a repository as duplicate publications and may not accept them for publication. Others may have specific guidelines or requirements regarding the prior publication of manuscripts in repositories.
To determine whether it is allowed to publish a manuscript that has been previously published in a campus repository, it is best to consult the specific journal's guidelines and policies. You can check the journal's website or contact the journal editor or editorial office directly to inquire about their policies regarding manuscript publication in relation to prior publication in a repository. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding their specific requirements and guidelines.

Is it just me, or is the number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses increasing dramatically? I see the value of both types of paper (and their combination), but increasingly I see excessive replication, when excellent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have already been published and it's basically the same set of studies being reviewed and summarized for no clear scientific reasons. I think research supervisors need to make sure they aren't overusing this type of paper to give grad students an easy way to publish prior to gathering their own data. There should always be a scientific need for the review, not just a desire for a publication. And editors should be insisting on a clear rationale for any systematic review/meta-analysis before accepting it for peer review.
Relevant answer
Answer
Durgesh Nandhini You raises the question of quality--andfor sure, systematic reviews and meta-analyses should follow the PRISMA guidelines. Even there, what is often lacking is a way of integrating quality of the included studies and their findings. A Risk of Bias bias assessment is almost always included, but we need a better way to integrate the risk of bias--a measure of the strength or trustworthiness of the data--with the findings. Too often, weak studies with high RoB data are included yet their findings are not weighted in some fashion to reflect this poor quality, leading to misleading conclusions what what is actually known and what sort of recommendations can/should be made. BUT--my primary concern here is the over-production of such papers in the absence of a good scientific rationale. They have a useful to play, but we should always be able to provide a good answer to the question, "What is the scientific contribution of this paper?"

Should you be interested in the setup in the spirit of the article you linked to, when the video has a DOI of its own, different from the one of the article, you may wish to consider repositories like e.g. figshare.org or zenodo.org.
Other than that, many a publisher allow video supplements to the articles (however, the videos mostly don't seem to get DOIs of their own).

A very frequent question about the merger of two datasets (e.g. Scopus and Web of Science) is asked by those interested in the bibliometric studies. Wherein, the common logic behind doing so is the intention of scholars to have a broader and better coverage of studies published in any specific area of study.
A number of studies/scholars have proposed ways in which two datasets can be merged. Though it is possible to merge two datasets from different databases, a basic question that is rarely addressed is:
Should we merge two datasets from different databases for a bibliometric study?
The simple conclusion based on the very nature of these databases is: NO.
Why?
Because:
1. Differences in the coverage: Scopus have wider coverage than WOS. But WOS provides more in-depth insights.
2. Both use different matrices to measure the published literatures impact.
3. Citation scores of both Scopus and WOS for the same publications are different because of the differences in coverage.
4. The time range of the two databases in terms of two databases coverage is also different.
So, When merging two datasets, how would it be decided which data/duplicate to exclude for a specific publication that is in both databases?
What do you think? Looking forward to some interesting opinions and views.
For simple step by step bibliometric analysis do read our paper;

Answer
Chizoba Kingsley Ugokwe Thank you very much for your interesting comment.

I'd suggest to try Cellenics (see here https://www.biomage.net/), a user-friendly tool to analyse single-cell data. It's free for academic users, and it has a dataset repository with several publicly available single-cell datasets ready to be explored. I think it may be a good starting point.
If you want to explore other datasets that are not in the repository, it is quite straightforward to upload them to Cellenics, as long as you have the count matrices. They even provide tutorials on converting data from different platforms, making it analyzable within Cellenics.
There is also a course on how to use Cellenics for single-cell RNA-seq analysis, if you are interested in learning more: https://courses.biomage.net/courses/mastering-scrna-seq-with-cellenics.

Relevant answer
Answer
Peer review should ensure that weaknesses are pointed out so they can be corrected. In reviewing articles especially in a second round of reviews (i.e. when the editor is uncertain and sends the paper out for second opinions) I sometimes find the problem is that earlier referees have been too uncritical. They urge publication and ignore fundamental flaws. Whether this is because they don’t see them or because they are ‘soft’ and don’t want to be a source of discouragement is hard to say. A lot depends on editors choosing well qualified reviewers.

Relevant answer
Answer
Publishing your first research article can be an exciting and fulfilling endeavor. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:
Choose a Relevant Topic: Select a research topic that is both interesting to you and relevant to your field of study. Conduct a literature review to ensure your topic hasn't been extensively covered already. If you have done a research project like an honours', Masters' or a PhD, you now have something to work from as you could use that information to concisely write your manuscript.
Conduct Thorough Research: Gather and analyze data related to your chosen topic. Ensure that your research is well-founded and contributes something new to the existing body of knowledge.
Outline Your Article: Organize your research findings into a coherent structure. A typical research article includes sections like Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and References.
Write the Manuscript: Start writing your article using clear and concise language. Make sure to provide proper citations for any sources you reference. Follow the guidelines of the target journal for formatting and style (Remember, every journal has its own format).
Select a Journal: Research and identify journals that publish articles in your field. Choose a journal that is appropriate for the level of your research and aligns with your topic. Look at factors like the journal's impact factor, scope, and target audience. (In the case of South Africa, choose from the yearly Department of Higher Education and Training accredited lists).
Review Journal Guidelines: Carefully read the author guidelines provided by the chosen journal. This includes information about formatting, word limits, citation style, and submission procedures.
Prepare Supporting Materials: Some journals might require additional materials such as graphs, images, or supplementary data. Make sure you have these prepared and formatted according to the journal's specifications.
Write a Cover Letter: Along with your manuscript, you'll often need to write a cover letter. This should briefly introduce your work, explain its significance, and highlight why your research is a good fit for the journal.
Peer Review Process: After submitting your article, it will go through a peer-review process. Reviewers, who are experts in your field, will assess the quality, validity, and significance of your research. They will provide feedback for revisions, which you should address thoroughly.
Revise and Resubmit: If your article receives feedback suggesting revisions, carefully address each point raised by the reviewers. Revise your manuscript accordingly and provide a response to each reviewer's comment.
Acceptance and Proofreading: If your article is accepted, the journal will provide you with the final version to proofread. Make sure to check for any errors and ensure the article is formatted correctly.
Publication: Once the final revisions are made and approved, your article will be published. It will become part of the scientific literature and accessible to others in your field.
Remember that the publishing process can take time, and rejection is not uncommon. Take feedback positively and use it to improve your work. With persistence and dedication, you'll increase your chances of successfully publishing your first research article.

I completely share your perspective that ResearchGate (RG) could greatly benefit from establishing a dedicated publishing company. In my view, ResearchGate (RG) stands out as an incredibly compelling and engaging academic social networking platform within the scientific community. Its significance becomes even more pronounced when considering its extensive user base and wide-reaching impact.
In practical terms, ResearchGate (RG) has rightfully earned its position as one of the foremost platforms for academic social interaction. Its status as one of the largest social media networks for the scientific community is a testament to its success. By serving as both a hub and a conduit for the exchange of information and insights among scientists, experts, researchers, and practitioners, ResearchGate (RG) plays a pivotal role in facilitating collaboration and knowledge dissemination.

Hello, thanks for helping me with the question. Im a student and librarian in the my university. Ive been working with academics from various of our faculties and wanted to know if i can publish my individual works. I have certificates in philosophy and history, thought not a bachelor degree and im studying a bachelor on psychology. Can i publish my philosophy papers with my certificates and or psychology papers?
Relevant answer
Answer
When it comes to publishing academic papers, the requirements can vary depending on the specific journal or publisher. While having a bachelor's degree is often preferred or required for publishing in certain academic fields, it is not always an absolute requirement. Many journals consider the quality and originality of the research rather than the author's qualifications.
Here are a few factors to consider when publishing your individual works:
Target appropriate journals: Look for journals that align with the subject matter of your papers. Review their submission guidelines to see if they have any specific requirements regarding academic qualifications.
Emphasize your expertise: Even if you don't have a bachelor's degree in a specific field, highlight your knowledge and expertise in that area through your certificates and relevant coursework. You can mention your academic background in your cover letter or author biography.
Collaborate with other researchers: Consider collaborating with other researchers who have the necessary qualifications. By working with co-authors who have relevant degrees or academic positions, you can enhance the credibility of your research.
Seek feedback and endorsements: Before submitting your papers, consider seeking feedback from experts in the field. Their endorsement or feedback can lend credibility to your work.
Consider open-access journals: Open-access journals may have more flexible requirements and focus more on the quality and impact of the research rather than the author's qualifications.
Attend conferences and present your work: Presenting your research at conferences can help gain recognition and build your reputation in the academic community, regardless of your formal qualifications.
While it is possible to publish your individual works without a bachelor's degree, it is important to note that the academic landscape can vary, and some journals or publishers may have stricter requirements. It is always a good idea to carefully review the submission guidelines of the journals you are interested in and seek guidance from experienced researchers or professors in your field.

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!
Relevant answer
Answer
I think it is not possible to change anything in a already published article. Did the journal use a wrong affiliation? Or did your affiliation change after publication or after submission? Usually the institution where the research was done is indicated as affiliation, sometimes with a note "Now with ..." if the affiliation has changed.

Answer
Any interpretation of Bouguer gravity data should be built upon a realistic model with reasonable density values. Gravity data is non-unique so multiple hypotheses are possible. The best hypotheses are built from density data from boreholes. If an idea cannot be modeled due to lack of density data, any publication should also discuss alternative ideas. Such a paper might be valuable to generate discussion. If data exists and the idea cannot be modeled, it should be rejected and then other ideas should be modeled.

The teaching and learning process is heavily reliant on language, particularly in higher education and research. Despite the fact that basic programs are commonly conducted in a student's native language, postgraduate studies and research often require English proficiency, as it is the primary language used for publication and communication in many academic fields.
Developing proficiency in any language can be a time-consuming and challenging task, but there are several practical ways to accelerate the process. Included in the list are:Living in a country where the language is spoken and immersed in it can be an effective way to quickly enhance one's language skills. Individuals can participate in language exchange programs by practicing their language skills with native speakers. The combination of structured learning and online language courses provides opportunities for practice with the teacher. Using self-study tools such as textbooks, apps, and online resources can be beneficial for language learning, especially when combined with regular practice and feedback from native speakers. Individual learning styles, goals, and resources may determine the most effective way to improve language proficiency.

Years ago, to know the work of other researchers we had only two ways: attending conferences and reading the publications (hard copy at that time) on the renowned journals.
At present, why we still consider the process of publication? A lot of predatory journals, many open access journal accept papers in so few days that a normal peer review process is debatable.
A couple of reviewers are really better than what any researcher can comment (with positive or negative meaning) if you download on RG or LinkedIn?
Is it still worth for some specific reasons or just for the academic goal "Publish or Perish"?
Relevant answer
Answer
I think that the classical peer-review/publishing approach only makes sense if it is extremely rigorous on every aspect of the review. That is, peer-review only makes sense if it actually is a quality guarantee, like with an ISO standard to follow, but time has shown that it is very far from it. I'm not even considering predatory journals and the like, as even top journals have shown to be prone to publish the most ludicrous stuff, with the most obvious problem being that reviewers don't really know anymore anything at all these days (so a lot of obvious or old stuff gets published again, not to mention completely wrong stuff). Obviously, there might be differences between fields, but it is especially so in STEM.
One should also take in mind that research and the relative publishing (should) have nothing to do with employment and career paths, at least officially. So, when we think about it, we should not, honestly, try to fix it in order to make it work as a job market tool. I hold this truth to be self evident.
So, the relevant question is, in my opinion: how do we save research and publishing from the misuses that make it today so low quality? My answer is that, unfortunately, we can't, or at least not yet as of today. We currently live in a society that has had a repentine shift in a lot of paradigms, with the result that we failed in preserving the cultural background of most aspects of our life because of the speed. So, the current society, not anymore aware of the past, needs to understand from failure what could have been preserved by culture.
I think that a suitable model could be just like a wikipedia, with each article being an independent and dynamic entity, subject to fully tracked non blind reviews from whoever thinks to do so and the relative changes exposed. Most importantly, nobody can impose anything on the original author. But this will probably never happen in the near future.

My doubt is that probably not all sites have the same exposure
Thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
If you want to publish a work as a pre-print, there are several options available. One popular platform for pre-print publications is arXiv, which covers various fields such as physics, mathematics, computer science, and more. Another well-known platform is bioRxiv, specifically for the biological sciences. Additionally, many disciplines have their own pre-print servers, so it is worth exploring if there is a specialized pre-print server for your field of study.
Regarding publishing in multiple repositories simultaneously, it depends on the policies of each repository. Some repositories allow simultaneous submissions, while others may require exclusivity. It is essential to review the guidelines of each repository to determine if they allow multiple submissions. Additionally, keep in mind that while publishing your work in multiple repositories may increase its exposure, it is important to consider the potential implications, such as potential conflicts with journal publication policies or limitations on subsequent peer review.
To ensure the widest possible exposure for your pre-print, you may also consider sharing your work on social media platforms or academic networking sites. This can help raise awareness among researchers in your field and potentially attract more attention to your pre-print publication.
In summary, I recommend considering well-established pre-print repositories such as arXiv or bioRxiv, exploring specialized pre-print servers for your field, and reviewing the policies of each repository regarding simultaneous submissions. Additionally, promoting your pre-print through social media and academic networking sites can help increase its exposure.

I have successfully published three shapefiles as a layer group in GeoServer. However, in my web application, I am currently facing an issue where only one layer from the layer group is displaying, and I intend to display all the layers in the group.
Relevant answer
Answer
Here are some steps to troubleshoot and address the issue:
  1. Check Layer Visibility: Start by verifying that all the layers within the layer group are set to be visible. In GeoServer, each layer has its own visibility settings, and if any of the layers are set to be invisible, they won't be displayed in your web application.
  2. Layer Order: The order of layers within the layer group might affect their visibility in the web application. Ensure that the layers are ordered correctly within the group. Layers that are positioned lower in the list might be drawn on top of other layers, obscuring their visibility.
  3. Layer Group Properties: Check the properties of the layer group in GeoServer. Make sure that the bounding boxes and coordinate systems of all layers in the group are consistent. Mismatched bounding boxes or coordinate systems could result in some layers not displaying correctly.
  4. Layer Styling: Ensure that each layer in the group has a defined style. If a layer lacks a proper style, it might appear as if it's not displaying, even though it's there. Double-check that all layers have valid and appropriate styles assigned.
  5. Zoom Levels: Verify whether the layers are visible at the current zoom level in your web application. Some layers might be set to be visible only at certain zoom levels. Try zooming in and out to see if the visibility changes.
  6. Web Application Configuration: Examine the code or configuration of your web application. Ensure that you are correctly referencing and displaying all the layers within the layer group. It's possible that a coding error is preventing some layers from being displayed.
  7. Map Extent: Check if the extent of the map being displayed in your web application includes the geographic area covered by all the layers in the group. If the layers are located outside the current map extent, they won't be visible.
  8. Caching and Refresh: If you have caching enabled in either GeoServer or your web application, try clearing the cache and refreshing the map. Cached layers might not update immediately with new data.
  9. Log Files: Look into the logs of both GeoServer and your web application for any error messages or warnings related to layer display. These logs could provide insights into the root cause of the issue.
  10. Browser Console: Open the developer console in your web browser while accessing the web application. Look for any JavaScript errors or warnings that might be affecting the display of layers.
  11. GeoServer WMS Capabilities: Check the WMS capabilities document of your GeoServer to ensure that all layers and layer group information is being correctly exposed. This can help verify that the layers are correctly set up in GeoServer.
  12. Server Load and Performance: If your server is under heavy load or experiencing performance issues, it might impact the rendering and display of layers. Make sure your server has enough resources to handle the layer rendering.
By systematically going through these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the issue and take appropriate actions to ensure that all layers within the layer group are displayed correctly in your web application.

The following answer is by using chatgpt (https://chat.openai.com/):
How can I add a research paper to Google Scholar?
Adding a research paper to Google Scholar involves a few steps. Google Scholar is a freely accessible search engine that indexes scholarly articles from various disciplines. While you cannot directly upload papers to Google Scholar, you can ensure that your research paper gets indexed and displayed in the search results by following these steps:
  1. Publish Your Paper: First and foremost, your research paper needs to be published in a reputable and credible scholarly journal or conference proceedings. Google Scholar aims to index academic content, so make sure your paper meets the academic standards of your field.
  2. Provide Detailed Information: Ensure that your paper has accurate and detailed metadata. This includes the title, authors' names, abstract, keywords, publication date, and citation information. Accurate and complete metadata increases the likelihood of your paper being indexed correctly.
  3. Publish Open Access (Optional): While it's not a requirement, publishing your paper as open access (freely accessible to the public) can improve its visibility on Google Scholar and other search engines. Open access papers tend to receive more citations and have a broader impact.
  4. Use Scholarly Citations and References: In your paper, cite relevant and reputable sources from other researchers. Make sure to include proper citations and references according to the citation style of your field (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).
  5. Wait for Indexing: Google Scholar's indexing process is automated and periodic. It may take some time for your paper to be discovered and indexed after it's published. The indexing frequency varies, so be patient.
  6. Check Your Institutional Repository: If you're affiliated with a university or research institution, they might have an institutional repository where you can upload your paper. Google Scholar often indexes content from these repositories.
  7. Create a Google Scholar Profile (Optional): If you're a researcher, you can create a Google Scholar Profile to manage your publications and citations. While this won't directly add your paper to Google Scholar, it can help ensure that your work is accurately attributed to you.
  8. Engage in Academic Networking: Engage with the academic community by attending conferences, presenting your research, and collaborating with other researchers. This can lead to more citations and increase the visibility of your paper on Google Scholar.
Remember that Google Scholar's indexing process is automated, and not all papers may be indexed immediately or at all. It's also worth noting that Google Scholar doesn't verify the quality or credibility of sources, so it's essential to publish in reputable journals and conferences to maintain the integrity of your research.
If you've followed these steps and your paper is not appearing on Google Scholar, you can contact Google Scholar support for assistance or explore their official documentation for more information.
