Fair competition ‒ surely no one minds?

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 21:23:55 +0300

DOAJ comes to high positions compared to Web of Science or Scopus

Only 10% of ISSNs and 10% of all known open access journals are covered in Web of Science or Scopus. DOAJ listed the largest number of quality Open Access journals by far!

While many journals in Web of Science and Scopus are not currently listed in DOAJ (often because they don’t meet criteria DOAJ), large numbers of quality open access journals in DOAJ are not included in either of those services (see Figure below). DOAJ indexes 11,730 journals that will not be found in Web of Science and 11,229 journals that are not in Scopus. DOAJ is, therefore, much more inclusive in its global coverage of open access journals than either Web of Science or Scopus.

A recently published study using DOAJ data also concluded that Web of Science and SCOPUS were less inclusive than DOAJ.

Thus, DOAJ is confirmed as a unique platform for many open access journals. In particular, DOAJ is confirmed as a key index for African journals! By this, the state management of science in Africa has proved its leading position in caring for its scientists and the value of their work!

Recognizing DOAJ as a key index for journals in other countries will be a positive factor in reducing the monopoly of Web of Science and Scopus. Science knows no boundaries, so when the procedure for assessing the quality of scientific work is monopolized, science itself suffers. And the evidence of this statement lies on the surface: any author, referring to his/her manuscript to some journal, asks the first question: "Is this journal included in the Web of Science and Scopus?". That is, the main thing for the creator of a scientific work is not the desire to share his developments with the world, but the desire to satisfy the formal requirements of the ministries according to the criterion of belonging of the journal to two "promoted" resources. At the same time, it is surprising that in most cases access to the publication is closed by these resources, which significantly reduces its chances of being seen and appreciated by the world community. It is this problem that is being solved, placement of the publication in DOAJ, as a platform with strict criteria for the selection of journals, confirming that the quality of publications in such journals may be higher than the quality of publications in journals indexed by Web of Science and Scopus.

Surely both Web of Science and Scopus are not against fair competition because it allows one to move forward, evolving and creating new opportunities for the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge.

Better to see once than hear a hundred times

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 10:55:42 +0200

It is this principle that editors are guided by when they check the figures that the authors provide in their manuscript.

Today, when the Internet occupies a large place in the life of scientists, it is important to save good quality web pages that can be used to illustrate your research in manuscripts.

We bring to your attention the video instruction «How to save a good quality web page»

Continue about quartiles…

Fri, 08 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0200

Today we’ll consider how to check a quartile of a journal, indexed by Web of Science.

You must visit the site Web of Science.

Then You must select a database for searching, select searching by names of editions and enter a name of a searched journal

In searching results it is necessary to open any article of a searched journal

It is necessary to open «View Journal Impact» at the page of the article and to review a quartile of the journal

How to search for editions indexed by Scopus by quartile?

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0200

According to order of MES Ukraine No. 1220 of September 23, 2019, it is necessary to have publications in the Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 journals, but how can I find the journals of the necessary quartiles, or find out which quartile the publication belongs to?

The quartiles of journals are determined by the Scopus and Web of Science scientometric databases.

Today we bring to your attention the video instruction «How to find the journal of the necessary quartile in Scopus».

Video at link

Follow the news, next time we will tell you how to search for quartiles of journals in the Web of Science scientific database.

Did you publish an article in the journal that Scopus is indexing, but the article is not indexed? How to fix it?

Tue, 05 Nov 2019 17:41:46 +0200

If you see that the journal’s articles are indexed, but yours isn’t, and do not rush to get upset and start a quarrel with the publisher. Scopus managers often skip articles when indexing (recall that the publisher does not provide any information to Scopus on the articles). Therefore, you need to make a request on your own in Scopus so that your article is indexed.

Please note that if the entire issue of the journal has not yet been indexed, then such a request will speed up the indexing of your article.

Instructions on how to make a request in Scopus can be found here

Are you interested in patents? Do you use Derwent Innovations Index?

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 13:55:22 +0200

Derwent Innovations Index is a unified collection of unique patent-related information with additions, which was given by more than 50 patent bodies and indexed by Derwent World Patent Index (from 1963 to present), with the citation of patents, indexed by Derwent Patents Citation Index (from 1973 to present).

Derwent Innovations Index is one of the Web of Science databases.

In each description, you will find the title, patent number, inventors, names and codes of patent holders, annotations, international patent classification, as well as other useful information.

Is there a surname difficult for transliteration and does it lose your citation?

Fri, 01 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0200

For scientists who have problems with transliteration of the surname, that is, the surname can be written in Latin in various ways, we recommend that you fill out the section «Also known as» in your ORCID profile. Also in this section, you can specify various options for using the name, for example, the initials in full, the name and one initial, and the like. And women can indicate their maiden name. It is important to make this information available to everyone.

We continue the topic on funding research

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200

Yesterday, we wondered where one could find funding for own research and demonstrated then how to search for financing organizations in scientometric databases (link). Today, we look at where to find grants for research funding. If you have already been registered at Mendeley, the social network for scientists, then we immediately proceed to the tab Funding. If not registered yet, we recommend that you should do this (link).

At the Funding tab, you can look through a large collection of different proposals from grantees from all over the world. You can select your category, do a subject search, check conditions, a grant amount, and see how many days are left until the deadline.

How to find funding for your research?

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200

One of the main problems for scientists is the lack of funding to conduct research. In the modern Internet-connected world, the search for finances becomes easier. Today we will tell how to find funding organizations by using scientometric databases. To this end, you need to have a subscription access to the scientometric databases Scopus and/or Web of Science. First, search for documents on your subject (the most accurate search) and then use the publications filter on the left side of the bar (for both resources). Among the different filtering indicators, you can find, for Scopus, «Funding sponsor», and, for the Web of Science, «Funding Agencie» Thus you will receive a list of organizations that fund research on your topic. You can contact these organizations with a proposal to provide funding to your research.

You can’t decide, what journal, indexed by Scopus, to search for publication?

Tue, 29 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0200

If You have searched several journals, different by publication conditions, but can’t decide, which is the better for publishing your article, you may use the tool Scopus «Compare source» (subscribed version of Scopus).

Visual graphs help You to compare several journals easily and to make Your choice

How to conduct a systematic review

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 13:04:23 +0200

If you are considering embarking on a systematic review, there are several issues you need to contemplate if you wish to conduct one. In healthcare, for example, the first step would be to define an explicit research question by using the PICOTS (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, Timing, Setting) framework, and also register the protocol for the review on PROSPERO, the international database of prospectively registered systematic reviews. Protocols provide a complete detailed description of the process by which the review will be conducted. Registering the protocol reduces research bias, duplication of effort, resource waste, and provides greater transparency. Outside of medical sciences, protocols can be uploaded to Open Science Framework.

You must adopt a comprehensive, objective and reproducible search strategy to capture all relevant sources of evidence. In doing so, you can be confident of having incorporated all the appropriate material for the topic at hand. A thorough search strategy should involve multiple databases, registries, sources of grey literature (link), conference proceedings and abstracts. Following the predefined eligibility criteria, you then need to analyze the screened search results to extract data from those publications that meet the inclusion criteria.

Don’t forget to assess the risk of bias when applicable (i.e., in clinical research). Ideally, these methodological steps should preferably be performed by two authors independently, one of which is a methodologist and the other a content area expert. Summarizing the results of the included studies and interpreting their findings in the light of certainty of evidence and their applicability are the final steps of completing a systematic review. You can also include a meta-analysis if applicable.

In order to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews in biomedical sciences, checklists like the AMSTAR – A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews can be utilized. Lastly, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist, is a minimum set of items for reporting in systematic reviews: include one with your full article. The flow diagram can also be adopted to use for non-medical research (link).

Web of Science introduces new feature «Author Search BETA»

Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:01:10 +0300

Web of Science has recently introduced a possibility to search for magazines and view profiles. Now there is another additional feature – to view an author's profile in Web of Science. Scientists can look through their profiles, as well as their colleagues' profiles, in the subscriber-version of Web of Science.

A good addition to search is a possibility to specify alternatives to spelling the name and surname of a scientist «Include alternative name».

An example of the search result is shown below

Where and how to find your ScopusAuthorID?

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 19:07:11 +0300

ScopusAuthorID is the author’s unique number in the Scopus database. In order to recognize it, you must have a scientist profile in Scopus. It is created automatically when a scientist has 2 or more works that are indexed in Scopus. A scientist can’t register it or create it yourself; this happens automatically.

Next, go to the site Scopus on the tab «Search for authors»

Use the search in the key fields «Author last name» and «Author first name», the search must be done in English, the surname and first name should be indicated as they were indicated in the indexed publications. If your Scopus profile is associated with the ORCID profile (just having an ORCID registration is not enough), you can find your profile by the ORCID number using the search field below.

In the search results you need to select your profile and click on your Author last name. Your Scopus profile will open for you. On the left under your name and surname will be the term «Author Identifier», the number that is indicated in it and is your ScopusAuthorID.

Six things you should keep in mind when writing a review article

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 19:30:43 +0300

Key take-aways from Researcher Academy’s latest webinar

Writing a review article is about more than seizing on an interesting topic and gathering the relevant references. It is an opportunity for you to contribute to the development of your field by creating a synthesis of the best resources available and potential new research areas to explore in the future. Done well, a good review article can end up becoming the definitive “go to” guide on a topic, forming the backbone of reading lists and appearing as a reference in countless books and articles globally.

Yet, the key elements for a compelling review article are still a mystery for many researchers, especially those in the early stages of their careers. To help illuminate this phenomenon, Matt Pavlovich and Lindsey Drayton, editors in the Trends reviews journals group with Cell Press, offered their editorial perspective on what they look for in a review in Researcher Academy’s latest webinar. Below are the key take-aways from the experts.

A review is not a list of results

The most important question you need to ask yourself before proposing or writing a review is whether you have something new to say. A review article should form more than just the sum of its parts: readers should learn something(s) that they couldn’t get just by reading the references. Therefore, make sure you include your point(s) of view including a comparison, critique and assessment of the studies you are reviewing and/or your ideas for future experiments.

If possible, submit a proposal before writing the manuscript

You can save yourself a lot of time by reaching out to the editors of the journal in question to see whether or not it’s worth writing a full-length piece for their journals. Doing so also gives editors the opportunity to help shape your idea into something that delivers powerfully for the journal, which also means a higher chance of publication for your paper.

In the proposal, you need to make clear why the topic is important – and why it is important now. You also need to justify why you should write it. You do not necessarily need to explicitly list the reasons, but you should present them in a way that makes the editor understand why they should accept your proposal.

Have a clear idea in mind about the structure you want for your article

Starting with an outline and knowing exactly how you want to lead your readers through your narrative (being aware how their “journey” should develop) not only makes your article much clearer and easier to follow, it also helps you decide what should and should not be included in the review. It is important to manage readers’ expectations early on by telling them why you have chosen to write this review right now and highlight how your article differs from other existing work.

Avoid jargon

You are an expert in the field – that’s why you are writing a review. But your readers may not be as familiar with the intricacies of the topic. Therefore, try to avoid jargon as much as possible. In case you have to use technical language, do not forget to explain it in lay terms or include a glossary if you have that option. While doing so, make sure that the definitions conform to accepted standards and that terms are used consistently throughout your article.

To go the extra mile, it is also highly recommended to have someone unfamiliar with your field to read your article to make sure it makes sense to a lay audience.

Follow the journal’s guidelines

Many review authors invest much effort in polishing the content of their reviews but forget to pay sufficient attention to the journal’s stylistic and formatting guidelines. This common pitfall can easily lead to a slow-down and not being aware of – and acting on – any requirements, can negatively affect your review article’s chance of being published. Make sure, then, that you carefully familiarize yourself with the house style and guide for authors for the journal in question.

Expect to heavily revise the first draft

Even if you think you have followed all the requirements and produced a perfect first draft of your review article, there is a high chance you will receive it back with numerous comments and suggestions for change. Don’t be disappointed or discouraged. Keep in mind that the editors and reviewers are here to help your paper succeed and by following their advice, you will emerge with a stronger version.

Make the best out of this by approaching the comments with an open attitude and really engage with them instead of just treating it apathetically as a “paint by numbers” job. If you can afford to do so, it’s often a wise idea to take a few days off and refresh your mind before returning to your article and working on a revised draft.

There is a lot more to know!

You can learn more about other insightful tips and practices on writing a compelling review article in the full webinar recording at the Elsevier Researcher Academy and can also find answers to some questions asked during the separate webinar on the Cell Mentor program. If you still have questions after doing so, you are welcome to post in the associated Mendeley group where the team will endeavour to find answers to your questions.

Can't make high quality figures? We will show how to do it

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 18:55:19 +0300

Figures are an important component of the article, illustrate the study and make the material more visual and understandable. No wonder they say "it is better to see once than hear a hundred times". Many publishers publish figures on the article page as separate files. Therefore, the quality of the figures should be very high.

Leading publishers in the world offer their authors to remake the figures in high quality as editorial service, but this leads to additional costs for scientists.

Our publisher has prepared a series of training videos for scientists to help you make your figures in high quality.

1) How to keep a web page in high quality

2) How to insert a figure in high quality from MS Excel

3) How to make a figure in high quality (KOMPAS-3D LT)

4) How to make a figure in high quality (MS Excel)

Why do you need to edit an author's profile in the Scopus database and how can one do it?

Mon, 07 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0300

An author's profile in the Scopus database should be as correct and complete as possible due to the following:

it is a source of information about a scientist's scientific performance in the Scopus database;
it is a source of information about a scientist and his/her research for other scientists, academic journals, foundations, and other funding resources;
it is used to compile different rankings of scientists;
it is the basis for ranking the institution where a scientist works; the overall rating of the institution is composed of the employees' scores.

There are several reasons you may want to correct a scientist's profile in the Scopus database:

an author transliterated his/her surname/name/initials differently in different publications; because profiles in the Scopus database are created automatically, a separate profile is created for each version of the transliteration. Consequently, the scientific indicators and information could be fragmented and would not display the full picture.

In this case, a scientist can make a request to merge all profiles into a single profile.

The profile of a scientist incorrectly indicates the name, place of work.
Not all publications that are indexed by the Scopus database are displayed in the scientist's profile.
An article is present in the profile of a scientist, but is displayed incorrectly (an error in the paper's title, the title of the journal, the issue of a journal, etc.).
Not all citations of the scientist's works are displayed.

Here's what you need to do to make a request to correct any of the above.

First of all, you must be a registered user at the website https://www.scopus.com

To register, you need to follow the link
