I Introduction

Why Publications?

 Research comprises creative work undertaken on a systematic basis

in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of the nature, humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications

 Research discover and create new knowledge that benefit mankind

Frascati Manual (OCED Guidelines, 2002)

Results = Outcomes =Knowledge

What are you going to do with your research outcomes?

Keep them secret as your own propertiesShare with publicity (knowledge dissemination)Sell them to get rich

Why Publications?

Results = Outcomes =Knowledge

dù số liệu rất hay vì nếu đăng thì không có lợi cho quốc gia”

How to Publish

 Do not think about publication first

 Publication gradually comes from:

 Understand the background

 Study day-by-day like marathons

 Do the regular report, presentation during lab/group meeting

scientific discussions

 Place for joining international research communities, meeting experts for collaboration and networking

 You have to pay all expenses by yourself or by your grant

 No stipend for presenters

 And finally, chances for travels and tourism

Conference Presentation

Poster

22

 You have to summary your results and main findings in an A0 poster

Q: What kind of journals to publish scientific results?

A: Peer-review scholarly journals

ISI JOURNALS

Institute for Scientific Information (Thomson Reuters), since 1956

Cover ~ 9000 peer-review, notable and significant journals

Science Citation Index (SCI) Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)

SCOPUS

By Elsevier since 1995, covers ~20,000 peer-review journals

What is Peer Review?

Peer review is a academic process to assess the quality of articles

submitted for publication in a scholarly journal

 Single Blind Review: the names of the reviewers are hidden

from the author

 Double Blind Review: Both the reviewer and the author are

anonymous

 Open Review: Reviewer and author are known to each other.

What is Peer Review?

30

By Elsevier

Takes weeks to months!

Scholarly peer review journals

 First peer review journal is The Philosophical Transactions of the

Royal Society (since 1665) published by The Royal Society (UK).

 > 40,000 journals, > 50 millions articles (since 1665), 1.4

million/year

 96% are published online, 8-10% open access

 20,000 academic publishers, Top 3 (Elsevier, Springer, Wiley) account for 42% articles published

 $30-40 to purchase an article for an individual

 Subscription cost (for library) $3700 – 10,000

Open-access journals

32

Conventional publication:

 Readers pay fee (subscription) to read published articles

 Authors pay publication fee (some journals are free of charge for publication)

 Publishers keep copyrights (figures, text, )

Open access publication:

 Articles are opened free of charge to all readers (full and free open access)

 Authors pay additional fee (open access free) to publisher to open their article for free reading (partially open access)

Quality and reputation of a journal are independent on whether it is open access or not, independent on whether you have to pay publication fee

or not

Impact Factor, Eigenfactor, and Article Influence Score

Eigenfactor™ Score takes into account the number of times articles from a journal

published in the last five years have been cited in the JCR year while also considering

which journals have contributed these citations Since citations are in this case weighted

dependently on the source, The Eigenfactor Score belongs to the class of so-called prestige

measures The Eigenfactor Score represents the probability of reading a specific journal in the entire collection and therefore high-scoring journals have a greater influence in the

scientific community.

Article Influence™ Score

Article Influence™ Score is also a prestige measure and has all the features of the Eigenfactor Score , with an additional normalization to the number of published

Thomson Reuters

 Proposed by Jorge E Hirsch (University of California, San Diego) in 2005

 The h-index measures both the productivity and citation impact of the

publications of a scientist or scholar

 The h-index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers and

the number of citations that they have received in other publications

Journal Types

40

 Letter (rapid communication, short communication): important

results for quick reviewing and publication  page limited

 Regular article: complete descriptions of current original research

findings (unlimited length)

 Review article: do not cover original research but reviews the

results of many different articles on a particular topic about the state

of the art in that field

Journal Types

III Drafting

Title

 Try to express new message (e.g “Novel methods for kissing a pig”)

 Should not be a statement (e.g “Love causes pregnancy”)

 Abbreviation should be avoid (e.g “ Discovery of new hot girls THKH”)

 Should not be paradox

 Should be concise, not much word but enough information

II Submissions

Awaiting Decision

 Time for reviewing is flexible depending on the journal and

type of article

 Wait for reviewing process and pray for positive feedbacks!

 Accepted for publication in present form  Cool! I’ve done it!

 Accepted for publication with minor corrections  just few corrections required and your paper will be officially published soon thereafter

 Accepted for publication with major revision  many things to do with your manuscript  revise the manuscript carefully  Decision may change (Accepted or Rejected) after revision submitted

 Rejected  Say goodbye to the Journal, carefully check reviewer’s

feedbacks to improve your manuscript  Resubmit to another journal,

and a new battle comes again.

III Revisions

Important Notes

 Peer-review activities are voluntary And this is a not perfect system

 Editors, reviewers are “masters”, the authors are “slaves”

 They can reject papers at any time if the can find “small” mistakes

 Keep calm when read reviewers’ comments

 Sometimes you feel being bullied, being insulted, being despised

Unfortunately, the contribution of this paper is questionable The proposed structure of

observer is the same as in the work [17] It is very well visible in section III If we consider integral in (13) as a state equation, then gains
