Heighten Science Publications’ Post

How can you know which journal is the right fit for publishing your research paper? With millions of articles published every year, it can be overwhelming to navigate through the abundance of options. According to the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers, the number of published articles is expected to grow by 3-3.5% annually. If you're looking for quality and reliability, it's worth considering IPRJB journals. The journals have a strong reputation in the industry for their high standards, making them a great choice for scholars looking to publish their research. Don't let the abundance of options hold you back. Trust in the quality of IPRJB journals to give your research the attention and recognition it deserves. https://lnkd.in/d5fsWuS8

Scientific articles have evolved to include new types of content, moving beyond the traditional format of introduction, methods section, results, and discussion. In today’s post from ORIGINal Thoughts, author Kharissia Pettus discusses how journal articles have evolved over the years and how new content, article types, and even journals are better serving the research community. https://lnkd.in/entbd2h3

ORIGINal Thoughts is Origin Editorial’s series of blog posts that aim to summarize complex ideas, emerging changes or new initiatives/policies that are shaping scholarly publishing. Additionally, the articles frequently provide guidance on next steps or implementation strategies. They might inspire you to explore an idea at your own journal. In this post Kharissia Pettus does a wonderful job explaining how traditional notions of what an article looks like are being up-ended. I must confess, the concept of a data article, even a data journal, is a new one for me. This is why I subscribe to the blog!

The exponential increase in the number of scientific publications has put pressure on researchers to produce, which sometimes risks compromising quality and scientific transparency. Initiatives like the #EQUATORNetwork help promote a range of scientific protocols that provide standards for study design, writing, dissemination, and scientific interpretation. In the field of medical research, would adopting such protocols be beneficial? This is the question my colleagues Erik Montagna e Gabriel Laporta, PhD, MPH and I address in our editorial. The editorial is Open Access, so happy reading!

Every researcher needs to know this..

As a researcher, selecting the right journal for publication is a daunting task as one has to consider several factors such as the scope, quality, reputation, impact factor, and publication fees of the journal. With the number of publications in various fields and disciplines increasing steadily over the years, one has to be careful in making the right choice. According to Scopus, there were over 3.6 million articles published in 2019, compared to 1.6 million in 2009, indicating a growth rate of about 62% in a decade. #research #publication #journalselection https://lnkd.in/dPuZRiXC

Learned about this free research website today; if you are looking for an article, quick - here you go: https://lnkd.in/ebr8Ysuj "Sci-Hub collected a database of 88,343,822 research documents, freely available for download. Around 80% of the collection are research articles published in journals, 6% are papers from conference proceedings, 5% are book chapters, the rest are other types of documents. 77% of the documents available through Sci-Hub were published between 1980 and 2020, and 36% between 2010 and 2020. The coverage is > 95% for all major scientific publishers. The total size of Sci-Hub database is about 100 TB." Hat tip Jessica Tipton

Here's a good practice I'd love to encourage in scientific publishing: I became aware of this recently, and it's cool, especially if you're just starting out in research. Nature Portfolio publishes a full peer review file. The complete back-and-forth between authors and reviewers of the paper. Very often you can get much more insight about the context of the paper from this file, and much of your own confusion can be explained in it. "Why did they do this experiment instead of that other one?" "How come they use this technique, which isn't very reliable?" Many such questions are asked by the reviewers and answered/argued for by the authors. And sometimes it leads to honest interesting discussions and speculations, like the one in the picture below. ♻️Repost so more people see this. P.S. do any other journals do this, or something similar? Please let me know.
