Dear colleagues,
for my current research project I am trying to trace the effects of a CJEU verdict in 2011 via migratory activity of scientists. To do so, I need to obtain data that shows a year-name-affiliation link for scientists working in the respective field. So far I have used Scopus, but the database gives me the information in a format that is impossible to work with. I could do this by hand, but I would rather avoid sorting several thousand entries by hand, so I was hoping that there was a database that would enable me to retrieve the required information in a standardized format. So far I have tried Web of Science, Scopus, JSTOR, PubMed and Publish or Perish, but to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

In recent years there has been a growing demand for the recognition of our work as a peer reviewer since this is the most important step to guarantee the quality of scientific publications. Unfortunately, for a long time this work has been anonymous and scarcely recognized in our curriculum and as a criterion for hiring and permanence.
Recently, Publon, the platform of Web of Science, has begun to register, in addition to the metrics of the number of publications and citations, a separate graphic for the peer reviews made in indexed journals. Although this could be still insufficient, I think it is an important step that should have influence on those who evaluate our academic activity.
The Publon website explains how to carry out this process. It's very simple
How do I add peer reviews to Publons?
Modified on: Fri, 12 Apr, 2019 at 1:53 PM
Publons allows you to add reviews performed for journals or conferences to your public profile (with the privacy settings you choose). We can then verify your reviews, which can be used in promotion and funding applications.
There are four simple ways to populate your review record on Publons: 
1. Add reviews performed for partnered journals
Reviews performed for partnered journals can be instantly added to your profile as you do them. Simply follow these steps:
  1. Check the box on the review submission form asking if you want to add a record of the review to Publons*
  2. Follow the link in the confirmation email we send you
  3. Done - the review record will be added to your profile subject to the journal's privacy policy.
We send you a confirmation email on purpose to make sure we never collect review records from people who accidentally checked the box in the review submission form.
We make this two-step process even easier. Simply turn on the 'Automatically add reviews from partnered journals" setting in your profile settings. With this setting enabled, you just need to check the box in the review submission form and you're done!
* This option appears in the peer-review submission system the journal uses, such as ScholarOne or Editorial Manager.
2. Send review receipts to reviews@publons.com
If you've reviewed for journals that are not yet partnered with Publons, you can still add verified records of those reviews to your profile.
  1. Search your inbox for any “Thank you for reviewing” emails that journal editors have sent you.
  2. Forward those emails to reviews@publons.com.
  3. Done!
Publons verifies these emails with the journal and adds the record to your profile (subject to the journal's privacy policy).
You can speed things up by adding the review using the form on your Private Dashboard first, and including the URL of the review in your email to reviews@publons.com.
To see exactly how to add reviews through reviews@publons.com, please watch the video below:
3. Enable auto-updates
Digging up old emails can take some time. So where we can, we’ll do the work for you! We work with our partners to look back at their review records for up to five years and update our users’ review history. Simply turn on the 'Automatically add reviews from partnered journals" setting in your profile settings and whenever we find a review, we'll add it to your profile and let you know. 
4. Add reviews through the forms on the site.
You’ll find the pre-publication review forms here. You can use these forms to add unverified pre-publication reviews which will appear on your profile with the privacy settings you specify.
Note that you are unable to create journal entries on Publons. If you would like to add a review for a journal not in our database through the forms on the site, please contact us with the journal title, URL and ISSN and any other relevant information and we'll add it for you.

I am trying to use VOSviewer for analysis. I’ve come across with some difficulties when creating a map for bibliographic data. A set of keywords taken from Web of Science were added to the process. Because of being singular & plural, the keywords do not give the expected quantitative value for me. For example, cities & city were taken into two categories and because of that, the results do not give the expected value. Is there any method to edit them in the verification table or anywhere before going to the map?
Relevant answer
Answer
I searched for this issue and found this post. I just found the instruction in the VOSviewer manual. I could merge-common keywords successfully now.
My procedure was
1) try to run the first analysis to get the list of keywords
2) save the node file as a txt file
3) create a new excel file with 2 columns: label and Replace by
4) Import the keywords list from 2) and start sorting
5) Run again, this time choose Thesaurus file with your file from 4)

I wonder if it is possible for the same conference, which takes place in different countries for the years with different committees, to have slightly different approaches to evaluation? Does the assessment depend on the reviewer? Could it be that in one country it is easier to pass reviewers than in the other? Please share your experience and knowledge.
Relevant answer
Answer
I have participated in several more or less respected conferences indexed in Scopus and / or in Web of Science. Based on my modest experience, I can roughly assess the current state of evaluation of submissions.
In my opinion, scholars from leading countries often apply the same (to manuscripts) or similar criteria in evaluating submissions to a prestigious conference. Perhaps in Eastern countries, such a process is viewed somewhat more liberally.
It seems to me that science should not be too formalized, because grain can germinate even in "dirty" paper.
But the scale used is about the same.
-3 - strong reject
-2 - reject
-1 - weak reject
0 - borderline work
+1 - weak accept
+2 - accept
+3 - strong accept.

Some journals indexed in SCOPUS and Web of Science were listed by Beall as predatory journal. Should we trust his list over Scopus and Web of Science which both have pool of experts, whose main business is indexing journals based on their credentials and consistency of publications?
Relevant answer
Answer
Indeed on numerous occasions it has been discovered (mostly focussed on a particular discipline) that Scopus contains titles that are included in the Beall’s list (either as publisher https://beallslist.net/ or as stand-alone journal https://beallslist.net/standalone-journals/ ). Recently this has been performed in a quantitative manner:Article Predatory publishing in Scopus: evidence on cross-country differencesthey found hundreds of titles indexed in Scopus while also included in the Beall’s list.
In a recent report:Article When it comes to predatory journals, is Scopus doing a good ...it has been established that 2/3 of these tiles indexed in Scopus in 2017 are now no longer indexed. This could mean several things:
-Scopus is doing a pretty good job in identifying ‘suspect’ journals (and publishers)
-and the Beall’s list seems to be right by including the mentioned titles since Scopus agreed and discontinued those titles
-However, 1/3 of the titles are not identified and are either missed by Scopus or Scopus disagrees with the ‘verdict’ of the person (or people) behind the Beall’s list
-and in 1/3 of the identified cases the Beall’s list seems to be wrong or at least Scopus has another conclusion
Personally, I conclude that both lists are pretty good but certainly not flawless. So, ‘judgment’ should be performed in individual case.
Best regards.

Dear scientists,
If the scientific work was done by a team, and some of the team became authors of the publication, the latter are co-authors. When referring to this publication, each of them receives one citation. It does not matter the contribution of each of them. Is this fair? It seems to me that the scientific weight of the contribution of the individual co-author should not be equal to the scientific weight of the publication. In general, it is difficult to assess which of the co-authors worked harder. Maybe someone is a sponsor, and someone is the boss, and the main performer simply decided to please his benefactors. In this case, he sold (or shared) his achievement. This means that the total contribution (for example, a citation) should be divided by the number of co-authors. This will be a fair assessment of the individual collaborator.
Otherwise, an injustice arises in relation to the single author, who took upon himself all the costs. After all, if two publications (1 author and 4 co-authors) turned out to be in the same journal at Scopus or the Web of Science, then it must be assumed that the quality of works is comparable, but the number of beneficiaries is 4 times more for the second article. We must distinguish between the scientific weight of the article and the scientific weight of the contribution of the scientist to this work.
Research Gate conducts work on the evaluation of scientific interest to a separate article. Can the scientific weight of one article be divided by the number of co-authors to estimate the scientific weight of one scientist? Otherwise, each co-author will get 1 unit of impact of the article and the total will be, for example, 4 units. Even if one of the co-authors has not made an effort. But this is a collective contribution! It must be divided by the number of co-authors.

Is there an easy way to trace the origin of a concept better than back tracking cited literature?
For instance, when was first used a term in the literature? Could be a theory, or you just want to access the oldest report on anything.
With google scholar, you can't really sort by date.
Web of Science doesn't go that far back.
JSTOR?
I recently heard of Google Ngrams but you can't have access to the documents behind the stats I am afraid?
Going further, how would you trace the evolution of a concept? The different milestones behind a concept. For instance, I could use the concept of "ecological niche" as I am aware of what I should get as a result.
Best,
Relevant answer
Answer
Google Ngrams is useful for looking of the origin of special terms, e.g. "ecology". See https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=ecology&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cecology%3B%2Cc0#t1%3B%2Cecology%3B%2Cc0 for this example. At the bottom of the page, you will find links to Google Books for different intervals of time. You may then narrow the first time span either in Google Ngrams or in Google Books. Sometimes the dating of a book is not correct, and users outside the USA do not have direct access to scanned books after 1875 or so (archives.org helps in these cases). But nevertheless I found this tool helpful.

Answer
Google Scholar (GS) could be the database with the largest coverage from variety of subject domains with free of access. However, I noticed that most literature criticized GS because of the following reasons: no one knows how and from where GS collects data (i.e. unknown sources), duplicate citation counts, limited search strategies, and indexation of non-scholarly content. One can notice that there are a lot of comparisons among GS, Web of Science (WoS), and Scopus.
Comparisons between WoS and Scopus reveal that Scopus covers more titles than WoS. However, the coverage in terms of time, WoS is ahead of Scopus since it was started several years before starting Scopus. As I remember, the records included in Scopus is limited to the year 1995. Studies also revealed that WoS is somewhat biased towards North American publications, while Scopus is not so. In case of searching, both these databases/services include approximately similar capabilities, but at times certain capabilities exceed the capabilities of the other. This is common for both databases.
The reason for different publication counts observed from GS and Scopus for the same search could be the duplicate records/citations included in GS.

Moaad - to me this is a useful ranking structure. Using Scimago, for instance, gives the author both the IF listing, in rank order, as well as the Quartile rating.

Many higher education institutions are favouring the Q-ranking of a journal over the IF - as it is easier to understand and can be presented visually.

Is there any guarantee that the article which you see in the Scopus and the Web of Science databases is useful, relevant and with scientific novelty? Is the quality of English considered the basic requirement and will not any progressive thought be lost due to this? Does the publication’s presence of an eminent scientist in the list of co-authors affect the decision to publish?

Does not the prestige of the article reduce the presence of someone included in the list of authors without a noticeable contribution to the work? Does the development of science limit the high fees for publishing in a prestigious journal (there are much less free magazines)? Is it bad or good to have some auto-quotes in references? Please add your quality assessment point ...
Relevant answer
Answer
Ok,
This question has been clubbed to death, but let's discuss it once more; here are my quick thoughts (though based on 31 years in science):
1. I only discuss articles that have no major errors in the text, and also only those that actually improves something. Hence, I assume that the paper we discuss has no major problems with the language, or has such a bad structure that it is unreadable. (There are however a quite big pile of junk papers, in most fields.)
2. The research problem (call it problem P) addressed must be clearly stated, and motivated. In fact, it must somehow "solve" a new problem that is important, or improve a lot upon an existing one.
3. Problem P must be relevant for the journal, and also be timely in the context of the research area that problem P represents. Hence, we do not want to read papers on, for example, principles or methods that we all know are overshadowed by better methods. (Read: metaheuristics, if you like.)
4. It must improve on *something* in relation to the past - not only in comparison with the papers in the journal that we consider, but in comparison with all of science. Hence you need to write a very good survey on the field that your paper is trying to improve. And if you write a survey with phrases like "see papers [12-34], you are dismissed. Why? Because you are not providing any information. A survey needs to be well-written, such that we will know where the current problem addressed comes from, why it is relevant, and how it will improve what exists today. You have to provide a VERY good and thorough survey of the development of the narrow part of the field that your new contribution represents. Hence, I would expect plenty of journal papers discussed - their pros and cons, their relevance to the topic of your paper, and so on.
5. Your own contribution is then discussed, in detail. Depending on the nature of the contribution you need to cite relevant literature; if you perform some numerical experiments in order to compare something new to the state-of-the-art, you also need to be thorough, and stay away from cheating - of which there are plenty of examples in the literature. If you prove theorems, then the proofs need to be given in detail, such that any reader with similar knowledge as you can assess whether it is right or not.
6. Provide future research opportunities. Be generous - you will be the first in line anyway. :-)

Previously, the JCR was published as a part of Science Citation Index. Usually, JCR is accessed from the Web of Science-Core Collections. Journal Impact factors (JIFs) are calculated yearly starting from 1975 for journals listed in the Journal Citation Reports. You can access the latest Journal Citation Reports by searching “JCR on the web”.
A complete list of journal titles covered in the 2018 edition of JCR is available at: https://clarivate.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Crv_JCR_Full-Marketing-List_A4_2018_v4. pdf.
An additional list of journals for the first time listing in the JCR is also available at: https://clarivate.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Crv_JCR_First-Impact-Factor-List_2018_A4_v3.pdf.

Hello,
How to force Web of Science to interpret asterisk (*) as a regular character? Normally, it is parsed as a wildcard, even within the quotation marks.
Example: how to find the papers dealing with the B3LYP* density functional (and exclude B3LYP, B3LYP-D3, etc. from the search results)?

I have just realized that entering {B3LYP*} into the Scopus topic search performs the task that I need.

Dear colleagues, I really would like to know your opinion. I am asking specifically for electrical engineering field and related fields.
What value of H-index (Web of Science citations only) is considered as "good enough" for Assistant Professor and Associated Professor job in your country (or university)?
Did anybody ask you for its value when applying for a job?
Relevant answer
Answer
The H-index is really only appropriate for mid and late career researchers who have published many papers over time. Citations take time to build up. The indices of individuals vary markedly between sub-areas of research. I worked on my university promotions panel for many years and contributed references to many more. We never used the H-index as a discriminator, only as one of many inputs.

Relanzamos este post, con los datos actualizados extraídos del Master List de Web of Science en fecha del 6/12/2015, pensando especialmente en los profesores que tienen que acreditar la calidad de sus revistas en el proceso de sexenios que comienza mañana.
Thomson Reuters lanza un nuevo órdago a la mesa. Si hace un año aumentaba la cobertura de Web of Science con las revistas de Scielo e incluía la base de datos Scielo Citation Index, ahora, crea un nuevo producto, Emerging Source Citation Index, que vió la luz en Noviembre. Emerging Source Citation Index (ESCI) consiste en una base de datos dónde están todas las revistas que en la práctica están siendo evaluadas para entrar a formar parte de las bases de datos de Web of Science Core Collections (Science Citation Index,Social Science Citation Index y Arts & Humanities Citation Index). Por tanto no estamos realmente ante un nuevo producto, sino ante la explotación pública de la base de datos que utilizaban los analistas de Web of Science para realizar el seguimiento de aquellas revistas que optaban a entrar en los productos de evaluación de revistas más exigentes (Core Collections). Esto añade transparencia al proceso y hace públicas las métricas de estas revistas. Thomson se postula como el producto de evaluación de revistas con un mayor número de cabeceras.
Emerging Source Citation Index empieza con  2400 revistas de 82 países, lo que amplía mucho la cobertura, en un claro ejemplo del interés de Thomson Reuters por mejorar la presencia de áreas sub-representadas en el producto. No obstante, los cinco países con mayor presencia en ESCI son anglosajones (Inglaterra, USA, Canadá, Países Bajos e Italia). La presencia Iberoamericana en el producto es secundaria, y sin embargo, porcentualmente es el producto de Thomson Reuters, si obviamente descartamos Scielo Citation Index, donde nuestras revistas tienen una mayor presencia. En presencia se sitúa España la sexta con 165 revistas y Brasil la octava con 81.

Question

Kamal H Karim started the discussion here in RG six month ago: “Why there are too many false citations in research papers published in international and local journals?” My impression is this process is boosted exponentially during the last decades. Many causes reasons and problems have been discussed here by many researchers. Many participants in discussion said: Responsible for a correct citation are primarily the authors, but also the peer-reviewers and the publishers have a share of responsibility. Many participants in discussion united the desire that it should become better again. The implementation, however is difficult for many reasons like: 1. A culture change in universities of the past 2 decades has been; students are expected to start doing research in their first year. In some cases, they are required to have publications before graduating. This puts more pressure on students to do things faster. They feel they don't have the time to spend doing things the 'long' way. 2. In the age of Big Literature we can see knowledge is published in prolific rates. The magnitude and rapid expansion of literature makes it increasingly impossible to conduct comprehensive and transparent assessments. During my study at the university and my first scientific work in the 1980s I have learned by my old professor that I have to read all literature sources entire, not only the summary and I have to read always the primary sources of literature, the original paper, not only the cited extracts in a secondary source. I worked so in this way over all the years and I’m doing it in this way today. But this means, I’ not able to write and publish 10 or more papers in the year as some researchers do. However the evaluation of researchers and the allocation of funds for projects often depend on the quantity of published papers. That’s not a good development and it might contribute to false citation and plagiarism. Somehow, there is often a lack of time to be thorough and conscientious and that’s not good at all. Can modern technology help us with this? Can computer algorithms now make fewer mistakes then we do or make more mistakes? On the one hand at the moment it is often still this: When we use automatic literature search systems like Web of science advanced search or Scopus, we get many hits, but many of them turn out to be useless because they do not really contain what was queried. It is still difficult to rely on it. On the other hand: Innovations in research and assessment practices and tools are needed. We need gig data methods for analyzing literature and making assess urgently. But caution: we also should ensure comprehensiveness. This is a problem really. What do you all mean: In the age of big literature, can new computer-aided methods and procedures reduce or increase the numbers of false citations in research papers?

Although we do not understand anything in the climate, we decided to map one of the directions of your research. Usually this is about a dozen articles with basic information on the topic, about a dozen articles potentially with novelty, subtopics and terms. We limited ourselves to the latter, because the number of articles is not enough, in the hope that this will be useful for one of you. We invite to intellectual cooperation: each of you can send initial data on any topic and will receive a map in return. We really appreciate the feedback and accumulate the experience of analyzing the research topics.
Results are in the topic_report.doc file. The analysis is performed using the Web of Science. Depending on the request of the scientist, we also apply scopus.com and the patent lens.org database. We look forward to collaborating.

Most journals allow you to submit your paper free of charge. Many high-impact medical journals (JAMA, for example) However, a large number of journals (including other medical journals such as Lancet, etc) require you to pay a publication fee or page fees to publish the article after it is formally accepted. Be aware of this so you don't get unpleasantly surprised. Look for these fees on the journal webpages. Some journals charge much larger fees than others. Open Access optional fees are typically in addition to publication fees.
The website links others have pasted above do not appear to include mention of publication or page fees. Such fees tend to run several thousand dollars per accepted article. These fees can be waived by the most publishers under some circumstances, such as if you are a clinician writing up findings that arise from your clinical duties, for junior scientists with limited access to funds, and for scientists from underfunded Otherwise you may go through all the work to get a paper published and get surprised by the cost at the end of the day.

Why flotation kinetics models (phenomenological, mathematical and practical) have not been evaluated based on likelihood ratio test (LRT) and/or information criteria (IC) in order to consider the number of model parameters (complexity of models) and fitness together?
It has been seen for over decades that the sum square error (SSE) or goodness of fit was used as the only criterion for evaluation of the flotation modeling. However, literature shows that selection indices of a model are developed using likelihood ratio test (LRT) and information criteria (IC) (i.e., Bayesian information (BI), low of iterated logarithm (LI) and Akaike information (AI) indices). Why still minerals engineers don’t use these statistical tools for evaluation of molding?
I brought up the discussion shortly in my previous paper (10.1080/12269328.2017.1392900) but I'm going to present it in detail in IMPC 2018 as a proceeding paper entitled:
A NOVEL STATISTICAL INSIGHT TO MODELING OF FLOTATION KINETICS
FYI:
AIC formulated by the statistician Hirotugu Akaike; it was originally named "an information criterion". It was first announced by Akaike at a 1971 symposium, the proceedings of which were published in 1973.
As of October 2014, the 1974 paper had received more than 14000 citations in the Web of Science: making it the 73rd most-cited research paper of all time.
The other paper is the blow one which is cited more than 19000.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Vinnett,
I appreciate your consideration, sharing your opinion and introducing the paper “Performance Evaluation of Basic Flotation Kinetic Models Using Advanced Statistical Techniques”.
Yes. In addition to evaluation of gof and complexity of models by means of different statistical techniques such as AIC, LRT, AICc and SC, your concern (estimation of model parameters) is very important, too. Unfortunately, the process of modeling in minerals engineering with respect to some topics (e.g., RTD or flotation kinetics) is on the way of only curve fitting (including some of my own studies) which should be changed. Therefore, in my opinion more critical studies are required to carry out on the flotation kinetics modeling by applying new insights to it.
As you know and even stated in the paper entitled above, there is not any single flotation kinetics model to be uniformly the best for all data sets. However, I do still believe that it is possible to define a UNIQUE flotation model to be valid for majority of ores.
Anyway, I’m always open to cooperation studies with this regard.
Thanks again!

Larger number of journals to cover does NOT mean a better index to be! In terms of the rigorism of selection the WoS is better. And mention that Scopus has been developed is owned by the publishing Corporation Elsevier; so the owener's claims to objectivity of selection of journals in this case seem rather ridiculous: "the own" publications are covered with less rigorism, while the WoS is owned by an organization independent on any publisher. Finally, developed by Eugene Garfield, the Science Citation Index (now WoS) system was absolutely a pioneer, a revolutionary, while Scopus re-occupied the same niche – a position that not the most encouraging in modern business is .
And if you want to assess the usefulness of non-chrmical journal, the Scopus would be of absolutely no use. And the SCImagoJournal Ranking also will be in no use in this case, only the Journal citation Reports as a part of WoS would be helpful.

ISI Thomson indexed journals are same with the ones indexed by SCI, SCI-E, SSCI, ESCI, or other ones indicated by ISI Thomson. You can reach to all papers in this index over the Web of Science platform. You can check a journal over Master Journal list (http://ip-science.thomsonreuters.com/mjl/) to see which index(es) it was indexed by. On the other hand, unfortunately there are some indexes which use different names but their acronyms are ISI. I think these are for making researchers to think that their journals are indexed under ISI Thomson but it is not same. So, be careful for such journals. If the journal is not shown under the Master Journal List, it is not exactly in the ISI Thomson. You can also see that ISI Thomson journals generally impact factor measure on their pages to inform audience about effectiveness of the journal. But again, some journals indicate the same name impact factor over their page, but they are not again indexed under ISI Thomson. Just always check over the Master Journal List (:
