Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right hi a very good morning to everyone, and thank you for joining me on this Thursday morning on research fundamentals with you, it, and this will be a series of workshops that are you organizing over with you, I tm so that we're actually able to support you better.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And the first session would probably be the longest one at two hours will be how you can actually write the manuscript.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But those of you who don't know me, my name is Nicholas and i'm the senior customer consultant over in Southeast Asia i've been with Elsevier for over about seven years now.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And i've been working together very closely with my team during this period of time, we should conduct workshops at a rate of probably about five workshops a year.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Copying a whole range of research fundamentals and premise, so you have any questions feel free to type them in the chat box over the course of this session.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But I understand For those of you who may not have seen me this would be the first time well i'll be around for that experience, so you can always ask me questions, then.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In today's agenda i'll be talking about how you can actually prepare your manuscript how we can actually engage in what the publishing cycle is line.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): i'll be talking about the language they need to pay attention to will discuss about the article structure what editors in general, look out for how we can check for plagiarism and how we can identify good journals for you to publish in.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So let's talk about the publishing cycle first right so first and foremost i'm.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In the scientific technology and medical publishing we have over about 5000 stm publishers, with over 22,000 peer reviewed journals and contributing up to over 3 million peer reviewed articles.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Within hours of yourself we get approximately about 2.5 million submissions every year right, so this is actually a lot um.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We don't have costs naturally speaking we don't accept everything, and we would have to be check that because we want to maintain and to publish research doll excellent quality and standards, this is something very, very important for us.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So in public process that we have to do is that we have to manage the pure reprocessed with over 830,000 reviewers 72,000 editorial board members in 2000 editors.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And what happens is that from 2.5 million submissions on an article submitted to us every single year.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We publish our boxing me about 550,000 articles right, so we reject probably about 30% of the time i'm some of you be asking you know, and this is very common fear right people always ask me.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): He Nicholas, why is it that also view checks articles all the time, so that we rejected all the time, but we haven't said this to you want to add here too.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So that the research that you're reading out is probably the best so that, in a way you're not wasting your time and you're reading this research but, naturally, needless to say, this results in their stringency of standards that we have to follow.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So over on site survey, which is the platform that you'll be able to enter every artist articles, we have over 17 million articles available from over 4000 channels.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We recently got into a pilot with a widely and American chemical society, so that we will be able to feature the agendas on our performance from.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The whole idea is that we want to disseminate this Whiteley to make sure, and we have over 700 million downloads by over 11 million researchers across hundred and 20 different countries, so do something which I thought you'd be interested to know about.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the other thing that we kind of want to know to share with you is that what is the normal typical review process like.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So what happens during a peer review process is such the author would have to submit the article to the journal this, the editor would screen the paper.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And then, most of the time, but 30 to 70% during rejected after the screen right, but if the general is good enough, the papers good enough what happens to stay, the editor would has submitted to the journal reviewers.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The gentleman versus spending some time reviewing it before they send it over to the editor with the complex right so at this point in time, you may or may not want to make a minor or major revision and then it's up to the editor to decide whether distribute sector or to be rejected.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Some of you who are wondering okay So what is it and what as a publisher actually do during this entire process so first and foremost right registration is very important.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And I can begin to emphasize this enough registration is really the timestamp to know who have something, just like the big results that's.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): A publisher is very important in this because the publisher is a third party you're not in a way related or directly to the research so in a way, this is actually the best possible way to know who has something that the results first.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you think about it within the research community research topics can be very, very competitive on they'll be different groups working on the same topic at different points in time.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At the same point in time, as a matter of fact, so you can walk in and say London another group booking column for, and the question is.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And you submit the article right, the question is who submitted what first right, how are you able to make sure that no one has to plagiarize yada This is why the registration process is so important.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Because in those who have some of the job results first.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Publishers also have a very important role in certification, because they need to certify.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): arm to perform the peer review to ensure the validity and the integrity of submissions to make sure that the research that's being done is not miniaturize is not fake it's not falsifiable the data sets are not very keen to this is why certifications so very crucial.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): dissemination is also very important, because now, having.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Published don't research you actually want to make sure that.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): leaders and audience for the user to be able to garner an audience for this research paper itself so it's a good way to disseminate to share this information, with everyone else, so dissemination provides a medium for discoveries and findings to be shared.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And, of course, you want to preserve the millions and the record of science for posterity preservation is important, you don't want to research to fade away with time, you want to make sure that you always be able to access this eventually.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You also want to enrich articles with multimedia tools and you connect to other resources, and this is what we call platform as a service, and this is wait and see how crucial cited Sarah is.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): within some of our journals where we actually have a required article transfer service which we use this time to the publication, we use this referee 30 and to reduce editorial workflow.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So some of the article plan specific to add a publishing apple is a transfer of the free review.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Where the articles of the transfer before the peer review without any guarantees for how that it will be the emcee been.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): A post review, where the articles of a transfer before the post with you and a transfer recommend that acceptance, which is special type of post review transfer rate sentence is guaranteed pulling the transfer.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): um what do we do is that we actually have very important and very strong sherm that mindset, we want to share right, we want to support authors to share their work at every single stage of the publication process.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In terms of a pre submission in terms of course acceptance after publication and after babu.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Pre submission right, you can share your articles any point at any point time with your preference.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So need to know what the journalists policies are or this because defend our journals and society titles have different policies, and you can find this order general.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): After the acceptance, the author manuscript in the chat privately with students or colleagues for the persona us privately or institutional repositories on personal websites and privately on commercial planet science.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): After the publication go open access articles can be shared anywhere any point in time, by commercial platforms, if the author has chosen FCC license.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): On substitution articles can share as a link anywhere in time privately with students or colleagues for the personal use or privately or commercial sex.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): After the embargo period or the manuscripts me share publicly or non commercial platforms or poverty or commercial partner sites So these are some of the.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Sharing that lines that we're looking at moving Elsevier at the end of the day, I would say, be very careful how you share your article don't just simply shirt for the sake of sharing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): don't put post it publicly, this is actually very important and influential some copyright issues at the end of the day, you want to be very careful and to know what.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The policies are of the general that you submitted to write in all cases prints and accepted manuscripts shouldn't add are enhanced in any way to appear like a substitute for the final published journal article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Opposite articles shoved into the final version by the deal, I and because the Ottoman author manuscripts did you ever see cpu or SEM user license.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So going to the editorial structures right on the many different types of editorial structures and many different titles on.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): People always ask what's the difference between an editor and editor in Chief Executive editor a section editor a regional editor a handling editor is that all just means right that's been leveraged on by arm.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): With gentlemen so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So, but functionally speaking there's usually an editor editor in chief and then you have basically subject editors write for guest editors for different areas of expertise misty.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Another thing that you want to pay attention to is editorial board the Advisory Board days at this point right, this is some of the.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): subject matter experts what not full time editors but you're combining advice to guide the editorial structure the editors within the journal itself, last but not least, you have the publishers.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): How this really works right we talked about and I show you how a workflow of how dimension is something that through earlier, so we can see the authors would tend to submit it to the editor in chief.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The editor in chief man himself, maybe during the peer review on up here for you, so he will be the one allocating the pure with you, was look at the article, because I am conduct communicating with the office.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Sometimes, depending on the size of the general he will also choose associate editors or guests or sub editors to review this research paper first minister's office before communicating the office.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So how it looks like he said, first and foremost right we have submission, you have technical checks, such as plagiarism language.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So let me she's actually very, very crucial and i've known many editors who tend to emphasize this editors reviewers and reduce reduce the old one to receive well presented manuscripts that fit with the inside scoop of the journal so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I can't begin to emphasize this enough right the language has to be important, I know editors with you check the manuscript because you're a five grammatical errors with the abstract, but if you think about incense right it really abstract really can five five grammatical errors.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): and read you read the full article you want to put yourself through to reach an article that's not that's fully presenter Probably not.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At this point in time, the editor itself was have to access for scope in terms of the article type the article topic, the impact of this research paper.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So for the editor, you will have to go through all this your shoe have to go through all these factors first before he or she decided to suffer reviewers of the rejected test.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The one thing that i'll say is a very strong and very good tip is that, please take a look at the author guidelines within the general pitch itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): editors will ask for specific information and the journal patient self reflect what you're looking for, so it sounded like this is actually very useful.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And the editorial structure, you can see that they are very large amount of time to spend searching for reviewers.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Sometimes you'll be able to find with us, but they may reject you, and then you go back to it again and it's only when the peer reviewers are able to start a complete review that is considered a success.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At this just all right so after that we've used calm is completed on the editor web interface Dr findings in the comments.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): right would that be a major or minor revision would it be acceptance, would it be a rejection of the transfer right does something editor editor has to take the perspective as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is episode lot to do, they need to condition papers, they need to promote the journals they need to handle public pershing publication effects.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In in to respond to queries about ongoing submissions and it also need to work with our punches on the general strategy itself, so the roles and responsibilities of being a journal editors verify read.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And it's actually very tedious so one thing that Elsevier publishing as a publisher really look at is how can we help our editors life better as well, for instance.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And then we that and one of our crucial way of the peer review process is how the editors find reference right very important on the need to leverage on the networks and the knowledge, but since the end of what.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): They can look for references within the research paper sometimes so be recommendations face within the cover letter.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So there's a very good chance that are nominated referee can use as long as it not affiliated to the authors so office when you're writing a manuscript and your son.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to be very careful about who you nominate to be a referee within your cover letter itself, so you want to choose for Watson.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And the editors can see other peer review system if you've collaborated with or if you're the same institution, as you review or suggestions so don't think he get away with it, you want to be very taboo, at the same time, you want to be very, very.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Specific about what are the ones who are refusing to choosing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At the same time, wanting the editors to do, and I know a couple of actors would really like our Elsevier editorial platform they find out the search tools within the platform itself is very useful.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The able to leverage on it to also combine up here with us are nominated to us, as for the system itself is actually pretty cool facility.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So one thing that we always encourage our authors to do is to make sure that your title the abstract, it was a very suitable and this would actually help to identify reference.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So don't just use unnecessary or just use passwords because they are popular this meet later process and it also be removed as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): All right now we've come to the first important question that was asked or right before you sent me an article, you need to ask yourself, are you actually really to publish in the first place first and very important step.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And then now you ask yourself a whole myriad of questions i'm in my world outdated is a duplication of a published what are their income or incorrect conclusions is the letter three I would say that the world is probably not ready, you will not generate significant this.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): On the other hand, if you find it what you're doing is an ocean of itself or methods that's been applied to your work if it's able to significantly enhance your published work.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Or if it's an up to date with you have a subject area of few in yes your work is really to actually advance a few and you're ready to actually publish.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So Questions you get asked yourself right have you done anything in something that's new and interesting.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Are you able to provide a solution to a very difficult and long standing and teasing problem have you checked the latest results.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In general, you can actually do this via true scopus or web of science and take a look at what the latest research is for those topics.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Have you verified the findings have you triple check to make sure that the data is accurate and, if so, the results fit.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Does it fit the conclusion and the hypotheses that you need to prove and it's a song compete right once you've done a checklist on artists from you say parents to actually publish.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But first and foremost right, let me give you 10 tips on how to write a really terrible journal article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So, in other words don't do any of this so by not reading the previous literature, which is published in your few.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you're taking the easy route out and theorizing if you're meeting key article components, if it is respect previous publications.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you overestimate your contribution if you're inconsistent and not clear if you apply incorrect methods of statements.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you prefer subjective or were very specific objective statements, if you care at all about grammar spelling is enabled.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And if we ignore editor and leave your comments So these are 10 of 10 we 10 things that you definitely need to avoid when you're writing your research at the door in your manuscript right and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): there's always a link for you to find out more about this in more detail, but this is 10 very quick tips, that you should definitely pay attention to and avoid doing right when you're writing your research article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Now you have decide whether or not you're ready to publish right, and now that we know what are the do's and don'ts of writing a script.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): need to ask yourself what if men spectrum, I actually wanted to publish in the very first plus.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Am I looking to publish a full articles on which is a substantial complete and comprehensive piece of research, I eat is my message sufficient for full article if you're looking for sales letters a shot communications when you want to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): communicate a quick and really finding where your results are so thrilling that we can show as soon as possible.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you want to review papers right where they are summary of recent developments on a specific topic and is often by invitation.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So these are three of the most common types of a mainstream research many students tend to write.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I would say the first two would probably be are, the more common approach review papers usually what happens for review papers, is that the.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The Journal and the editor will be the ones reaching out to you to approach you to write this so it usually happens when you're the foremost proponent or expert interview.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Maybe i've seen time if you also want to be clear, you can ask your supervisor all your candidates for get tips on what I read on best ministry types as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The next thing you can do so, so to visit the journal homepage of strength of the journal homepage itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You can visit the journal homepage you can take a look at the aims, the scope and the types of articles, as well as a readership the core topics and the editors and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I will always encourage everyone to go to the journal homepage when you're submitting your journals for consideration you mentioned for for for consideration.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): that's been Office also spirit of predatory publishers right and one of the key things you need to do, or you can do is if it's a general pitch.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): to verify the authenticity and the veracity of the journals itself interscope is very important because you need to tie in with what you're writing your manuscript should resonate with the entire scope of the journal, and then it has a higher chance of being a sector that's wrong.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You also tell you what type of articles you're looking for you'll be able to find out who their communities and then who the editors and ports on.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And as same time you'll be able to find out from the articles that have been recently published if your manuscript may be a good fit for them as well, so don't skimp on doing your homework go take a look at the general that are lighting up to this moment.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When it comes to scientific language right with overview want to write with clarity objectivity accuracy and brevity.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): um I would say sentence construction is very important, you don't want to use the incorrect sentence when you're writing a manuscript right so introduction, you have to use present tense conclusion to provide these past tense, for instance.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to be very careful with you how you'd like grammar as well as you need to write in well structured bomb some English.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I would say check the date for authors on every general visit you're looking at of the target journal for language specific situations, you find it missing that.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): One is a very common question that I get is hey.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you submit it over to Elsa do you guys correct the language that says no publishers to not correct English of the manuscript The onus is really on you, as the author, so you want to be very careful and be very specific with the bosses.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And what makes a strong things right astronomy district needs to be written in a clear and useful way, the message needs to be very clear, which is important writing it down.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): It needs to present it in a very logical peel away for readers to be able to understand the research itself, so I would always say put yourself in the shoes of the LEADER right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): editors with us, and he does, they all want to see well presented manuscripts that fit within the scope of the general.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is actually a very simple person, this is very simple right, because at the end of the day, you can spend time to read it want to make sure that what you're reading is some.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): it's a boat to the message is clear and it fits with what do you want to write that at the end of the day, what us through that's what contributes and allows administered to really resonate with this Community.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I always say use the right process to write a paper first you want to start by preparing to start writing at this from.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You wanted to to meet the central message of the graph and the research questions have been asked you want to prepare the draft versions of thoughts figures tables and images, you can summarize the main findings and they put them in a logical way, as well as you select references so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): write the first draft, with the outlines because it forces your practice Now you can read oneself quickly and with our editing and you may not care too much about leverage qualities as of this point in time.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So when you want to do in January writing the manuscript right first and foremost, want to have all these components available at your fingertips, you have the data, you need to know what you're writing about right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Then you start grouping them and then categorize it and then you've done that.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Then some people may want to be very anal about it on some people.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Some people want to see how the flow of the ministry because i'm quite a OCD person, so I like to make sure that every time i'm writing a paragraph of it ties in very tightly with what i'm writing right, but each person has it would start this right is it just a couple of suggestions.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But the most important thing I would say at this point, time is to be your first draft right and then afterwards.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you're reading it, you want to read as the critical either and not, as the author right because sometimes you fall in love with what you're writing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): is a very real thing, but what you want to do is you want to read it again and again, you want to ask yourself questions when you're reading ask yourself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Does this research article interesting is the main message of what i'm writing i'm clear to new meters does this tight, is it exciting, is it engaging always ask yourself questions like this right, and I think you really goes a very long way.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Now you can use the process right process to write a paper so firstly, you can read by entered improve on the article itself um don't be don't hesitate.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): to acknowledge that you may have made mistake if you realize that you've made mistake just feel free to just call it, we have the right if.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You have not submitted it for for sure, yet right so it's perfectly fine recruit attacks revise it improve it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to improve the order and the logic of the content that you're writing about you want to identify gaps and you improve any unclear parts that they're not here but.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We move double or tax, we tend to repeat ourselves and which is why we always there's always a propensity to overshoot in terms of the word limit this is where you can make it better.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You can optimize your credibility to make sure that it's clear, concise and short want to correct language errors, to make sure that connectivity sound ask yourself is a text consistent and coherent.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is very important, when multiple authors are writing the tax sometimes it's not easy for the corresponding otter.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You have to edit everything, but sometimes it is what it is, and you have to do what you have to do right and after reading and writing now, this is the best time where you can actually get feedback from coders includes.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): awesome what a few about the text as him to be tremendous demand ask them to give their comments.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So there's this whole question of goofy thoughts too many languages ministry networks in terms of tense, so what tends to use a sort of point in time, so in the abstract and the summary want to be using past tense, because you want to summarize what has been done.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): introduction is in presence, because you're talking about ongoing problem that you solve right now, as of the moment.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Methods materials and results are within the past tense, because he went talk about what has been done and what has been applied, and what are what the results have been muted.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Discussion would be both in past and present tense because we went up about what has been done and how you may want to move forward in the future as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you're writing your Main Street want to write it in short sentences right because long sentences, they would confuse this because sometimes they are too many points at the process to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Show sentences in general are much more professional the average length of sentence in scientific writings about 12 to certain words.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): On one idea of piece of information for sentence is usually sufficient and you want to support multiple segments in one sentence right so when you're writing sentences put in one idea to find time but it's short.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right like I will see the acronym kiss to be short and sweet is something you probably want to repeat yourself right for the first time um it would really make it set makes sense to have every idea articulated in one sentence and then is presented in a clear punchy with.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you're writing your manuscript itself want to avoid jumping or complicated words and sentence construction right so always offer them the simpler version of it so us right and then utilize spending rather than expenditure need rather than necessity.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is entirely up to stylistic I would say, but always i'll put it in such a way that sometimes stating things in a simpler way allows your audience to understand and to grasp better what we're trying to talk about.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to own words and phrases such as accurate as data has been found that it's not that not that is interesting to note that is worth mentioning at this point and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you think about it, what all these words are saying is absolutely nothing desert just filler phrases need to ask yourself are displaced is necessary in your manager itself and that says, probably know right if it's not of utility you can choose to not use it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So i've been talking a lot right, and I think that this is a good point in time for me to get a SIP of water, but I think it's also a good chance for you to also think about how can you make the sentences short and sweet.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): i'm going to give you about.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): six minutes right, I want you to take a look at these three phrases.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And to remove the unnecessary words and then maybe you can type them in the chat box itself right or you can write down he's on paper so think about look take a look at this three sentences ask yourself how would I make it shorter you type in the chat now address.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you get it to you at about 1140 in the meantime if if more questions coming in the chat box and ask them to tell you that.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Yes, you should be able to share at the pub I will see you can share your publish articles after the embargo period.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But this one, what you have to do is to take a quick look at the policies of the journal itself right, you can speak to the editors about as well for clarity, because different journals we have different sharing our policies as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So research ethics meet every research ethics declaration I think if you're in health sciences, we talked about this data, you need to talk about empty shell share, about.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): What are the ethics that you need to adhere to and confirm to again once again i'll say to advocate for authors, because I don't know what subject area you're in.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I think different subject areas with different approaches on this so once again take a look at the journal homepage and got for authors.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So peer review is actually very important our peer review basically until two to three different reviewers to take a look at the manuscript right where they can you know we.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): critically assess whether or not the manager about this have a certain standard.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Normally peer reviews are subject matter experts within the same areas as well, they know they have domain expertise and knowledge on it also because they are not directly related to you or a theater to you, they will have to be very objective of politics.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): They will have to also explain and to put in comments consistently or not, and whether or not they will.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): position manuscript to be accepted or otherwise, or what are the conditions that can.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Normally peer reviewers are helpful, or they should be helpful right they want to make sure that their comments should be constructive relevance destructive and your job is actually there to make the mainstream better.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So hopefully this answers your question.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I think the other question, this is a very real question um, the question is, why was it means to reject it right and what would the comments that i'm there was shut with when he was rejected.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I think, a very common queries to actually will be talking about this data on this presentation itself so they'll be some overlap, but I would say, first and foremost need to understand why it was being rejected itself right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And then, it was rejected, is it because it's a major structural issues that may disrupt the flow if you want to resubmit it right you don't you shouldn't just resubmit with minor changes if you want to be submitted on if you want to be submitted.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You should actually really look into and to redo the article in such a way that um.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): yeah it's just not done done quickly right if he's rejected in the first place, because there's something fundamentally um there's some big changes that have been made, so you need to address will change first before we can choose to submit that again this phone.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Can you use at the pet hundred percent of grammar software I don't use grammar software, so I can't say for certain I will see that you can use this to guide you along the way, but.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I think, as human beings part of our abilities to learn the process to make for make some decisions ourselves so yeah that's my answer.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But, essentially, I will say one more thing is that.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Do you want to rely on software, because you may also take a look at some of the phrases that they're using itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): It may also be come part partially plagiarized copy, so you wouldn't be very careful when you're leveraging those idea of the day, it makes more sense to write.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In your own words, because that's the best some objective way for you to verify and that's actually part of why I will show you true you to all the deadlines right when you're writing different tenses.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In terms of removing on was that one mentor and, as a matter of fact, why just current exercise is very important, so yeah.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): there's about two more minutes to go i'll give you a bit more time to basically write it, I notice, which is very quiet and once you show anything, maybe you've seen one time right, so we just give you a couple minutes.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): yeah so unnecessary words would include.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): What are the phrases that you think is not important or doesn't value add to convey the idea over.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): yeah someone's done that, and copy and paste done so that's pretty good.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): thanks for that Okay, I think we are good to go, so let me share with you some of that says something, and this is just my perspective, right it's not necessarily a must always a concern for sure.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So, if you think about it right, the first phase, we have here yeah actively addressing the problem is process of painting series of tutorials.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you think about it activity is something is a phrase that you don't need are in process of don't need as well, so you can say that they are addressing the problem and find a series of tutorials.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Another example talk about the speaker would rather ask three different times of the fact that gets inserted in and upload it goes for the past 15 years.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): is different times necessary of the faith necessary probably not right, so you can say that the speaker, we might have asked thrice that he's been studying nanoparticles for 15 years so it's short and sweet.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The last one was bit trickier because you can choose to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): adjust it and we do want So it goes really long we estimated as much as 12 to 18% depending on the tissue of interspecies differences in gene expression levels might be explained and easy part by.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Changes in DNA methylation patterns so that's really long and too much to be think about it, you don't need estimate that you don't need as much as right 20 18% is correct.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Depending on the tissue might be, at least in part, so you can just simply structurally as differences in DNA methylation could explain 12 to 18% of differences in gene expression right so there's something that you can do.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): How do you make it short and sweet right, if you think about this most of the time people tend to face.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): A word limit so there's usually I would say, an average about 10,000 to 12,000 depending on the journal, and the subject material, but the subject itself of the word count we've been in ministry itself, if you think about it, this will allow you to manage this very.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Rare prompting right so you'd be able to get down your web limits down to this acceptable level.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You can also take a look at this passage is this arm, for instance, right, so it is a procedure there's often use this procedure is often use.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): These a purchase use different kinds of methodology this purchase use different methods, there are seven steps and must be completed seven steps must be completed.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is a problem that is have this problem is and this results of preliminary nature, you don't even share So these are ways that you can truncate and make your sentences more simple, and a lot more to the point, I would say.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): i'm not going to go through all this right because they're all like huge phrases baby things about it a few, most of them are actually able to be.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): shorter and sweeter and number of can be many are several a small number of to be a few, we are in agreement, we just be this is found to be this is this, are you can find out all these combinations as well, and then keep it short and sweet.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the next thing I would say is that which is really important is punctuation right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So we think about punctuation i'm very important if you eat comma should have leaves right it just means that you're eating shooting and then even, but if you is shoots and leaves it means that you know you're just you're pendergraph who's having the normal type right, for instance.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In the Asia, the contacts, because most of us will be very fellow when we die the table, we say let's eat for Mr.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right, but without a comma, you said getting our grandma Is that what you want, probably not right which is nice So if you think about it, from a scientific perspective on the areas of Christ and showing them that contain him looking.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At anything about it the other way to everything priced out in the black.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Which means that everything quite elsewhere, did not contain right, so you want to be very careful how you phrase this by putting comments.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So i'm going to ask you a question, right now, and maybe you can type in the chat box right, what is the general structure of a research article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So we have 116 participants we don't need everyone to put up their hand at once to type in just a few of you can type in in the chat box what asks the general structure say that i've observed.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): yeah one of us i'm already i'm already very common right um yeah we can go ahead with that, so I would say that's not all.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you need to get first and foremost right the title authors extracting key words, this is what we call it the introduction.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And then we see the body itself would be like you pointed out, I am already introductions methods results and discussions conclusions, towards the end you'll be able to find acknowledgments references and supplementary material.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): someone's asking do you have to avoid present continuous sentences in writing the manuscript present tense is more preferable i'll say it depends on which part of mainstream that you're talking about I think earlier, I will showcasing to you how different grammars different.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): tenses were being used at different parts of the article, so you probably want to get to that so you get a copy of this presentation, towards the end of the session so don't worry them for that too.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So, now that you kind of know what the structure is like right how How would you how would you.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): get this article, because you know that's tied to actually see what's right Thank you i'm already conclusion acknowledgments reference system that's us right we have this article structure.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): How would you build it from the bottom first right, which would be the first thing you will be writing from so based on this models based on this morning's anyone wants to has it a try.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): there's no right or wrong, to be honest, that there is some ways of providing you a guideline on what's the best possible outcome to write it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Okay i'm just gonna go first right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the actual answer surprising is that the figures and tables will be the most important part for us why, because at the end of the day, you can keep your research without the data right and the data is the proof of the pudding so you want to use the figures and table spurs.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And you can describe about the methods, you can talk about South and the discussion.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Then you can come to a conclusion at the end, and then you can also write the introduction here we'll talk about what is the essential question that you're trying to solve.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right, I mean you think about it, that really was the genesis of how and why you're doing this research data allows you to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): A skew right from a very arm.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And then to go perspective right very objective about what the tires view that improved and then.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Lastly, then put in the title the abstract and he was.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): He was away.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The promotional like, how do you want to make your article to be noticed right is kind of like reading the article as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So for the article structure right the title itself the needs to be interesting, concise and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): It has to be accurate for us in indexing systems, as well as the top basis.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We want to allow this to judge your paper.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And some journals to encourage titles, but these two disciples we made them right so declarative would be like selected shut off message around eight which.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): prevents the incidence of internal users you don't want to be decorated that way right, because this is obviously not with your perspective.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to be very specific right so you're talking about a tendency of DNA transportation in a representative maximum benefits so it's also been trying to be like less exciting but it's much more specific.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): right because part of our scientific communications is going to be very objective and be very practical in the message that you're communicating right just before.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to delete trigger phrases such as most on a study of you don't all this writing the title and titles, the end of a question marks are the parents seldom acceptable.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I had another question so now that you have control this right, how would you take this question effects of 367.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): or even 14 encapsulated in calcium carbonate to the absence of which to how to summarize this.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Or what is what am I trying to talk about as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the answer to this is actually quite simple, is the effects of hot boiling it right in water, so if you think about it sometimes being putting up all this information.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): isn't necessarily the best because people just don't get it sometimes you may want to make it short and sweet and put it in a similar fashion as far right just food for thought.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Now you're looking at this titles right the original title we live in every observations for element.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you think about it, this title which, how do you make it more succinct.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Effects of the same on the execution of.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The long titles, in general, you would distribute this so when you ideally want to do is.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Such a studies on the nature of so don't use expressions such as you want to be very focused and very concise.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And then example that can talk about you see the effects of antibiotics contact you.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the question is this is way too way too general it's not specific so when you vice title, you may possibly want to talk about what is the actions of the audience this case is in traditional route of mycobacterium tuberculosis, specifically the bacteria question.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right, the antibody question so you want to always to be very clear and much more to the point, to know, specifically for.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This case you want to titus be very specific and you want to think about how will I search for this piece of information when I am designing the title how we read us what to read for this information as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I tend to get through as well right people had to ask okay.
What are the principles.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Who is the first author, what right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So first off those are the ones who control.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): and supervise the data analysis and the other ones will probably present an interpretation.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): He or she will be the one putting the paper together in the paper to return this, this is also what you call is a corresponding author.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Co authors, on the other hand, the other ones who make the intellectual contributions to the tag that asus and contributes to the data interpretation.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): of their would have to review the trough they need to present the results to defend the invitations and to discuss that invitation says for.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The two different abuses that you have to report here one goes off the ship when you leave our authors have to be good, so this is very, very, very much from one give authorship includes Office, my they did not contribute significantly to yourself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you're writing your abstract the action itself is actually a very tricky bows is a very important piece of work right because it needs to be available in our electronic extra indexing databases such as pubmed scopus web of science.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): absolutely crucial, because the the repetition of your article you want to make it interesting and it's easy to be understood without reading the article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to be very accurate and specific when you're writing an abstract because you will talk about what has been done and what can be done.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): A clear abstract what influence, but i'm not sure what will be considered, so you want to be very clear, you want to be very succinct and you wanted to Beijing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): want to make it brief as possible, want to make sure that it's grammatically accurate and this is a very strong opportunity for you now to sell your article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So make it as brief as possible summarize the problems the methods results and conclusions you want to make sure this is clearly written and easy to understand, at the same time is accurate specific.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right so take the time to write the extra it's very tough we manually authors who write the abstract loss so that accurately reflects the content, as well as the messaging.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the key words are used by in databases So these are the labels of your manuscript joining us establish the abbreviations, such as English to write those creations to everyone, but.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The key was also basically how you would like to search for the article So if you think about it, what are the key phrases that you're looking for when you're writing this research you're searching for it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So now, you may also want to use the gap office as a good barometer to look for the numbers, the labels definitions of solace and any other special question.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So humans are very important right because, in this day and age when you're searching for things is about search engine optimization.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): want to make sure your title is short, if you use keywords you want to link it throughout your the caption everything you want to be consistent, by using was.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Article that you sent hayden's into one very careful on how you choose a few books very important right, because now you're in a way, search engine optimizing your research papers.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This apart Now we come into the main body of the work of your session so i'm i'm already, as many of you have already know so first and foremost introduction when you write in present tense, you want to write and provide a brief context.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): want to address the problem, the research problem that you have you want to talk about what are the solutions and the limitations that you have.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And you also want to identify what what specifically trying to achieve as well, you want to be very careful in all these things.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right very good each reduction every single article and don't use introductions and some.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Other methods, you want to describe how.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to identify the equipment and the materials that you use you want to talk about the detail information you want to make sure right that john method is for the call is.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): reproducible reproducibility and replicability are very important as well, so make sure that means sharing a method.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is a way that other people will be able to replicate and duplicate themselves or the process.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But at the same time, you should not despair pretty steep publish procedures that have not been modified as well right So this has to be, because at the end of the day, there's a reason why this methods is so special.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Some of you asking us to ethics so um this really depends on different subject areas, so how effective experiments or humans or animals must follow ethical standards need require approval that should be specified in the menstrual the cover letter or online submission system.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And it says can make your own decision on ethics right, so this I would see we've got to ethical standards i'm in this case.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): experiments on human animals really depends on the general itself and subject matter so be very careful.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We are showing results you want to illustrate arm include illustrations and features.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Data of primary importance, want to highlight the main findings and this should be clear and easy to be understood.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Now discussion is a bit different right you want to results and the discussion should correspond to the results, but I think there's always.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): there's always attention right like how much the results.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We solved the research extent which are trying to say so, you want to be very, very specific.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): things at the same time, if it doesn't correlate then there has to be some why didn't.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You also want to compare publishing results with your own so this actually really gives you a good idea of what's happening so you can actually tackle as to why the results, the green or it didn't agree with your research methodology.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you want to be very careful you don't want to make statements that go beyond what the results what.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You don't want to bring in new terms that are not really defined have mentioned in your people right, so the discussion is last point last part of the whole paper, where you showed you probably don't want to use new faces and terminology right because this should be.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The main body we're trying to establish what you're doing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The competition is where you provide justification for what you talk about how you what is able to advance you and how do you suggest future.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you want to talk about how what you're tackling i'm in a way, what the results have shown how your results powder what can actually improve and to mature knowledge is sweeping the fuel itself and what you want to take in to make this research, even better.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Under references showcase your.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): lead on so to me, you want to make sure.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): That your preference.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You don't want to use too many references, you want to avoid excessive self citations and you want to start in the jungle scout for orphans and so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): One thing I should advise us financial support this.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): proofreaders and titus as well as supplies from you have to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So I talked about a cover letter right, but that is so very important so it's really your chance to speak to the answer directly, and this is something that we.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): need to talk about what makes you special right and if there any special requirements that you need on such as was conflicts of interest you want the difference.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In this example, you can see that dear Professor Schmidt and close with this letter you find that electronic submission of a ministry and Title mechanics of the other compression knowing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): A micro mechanical model by john Smith myself, this is an original paper that has never.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): been published, or something to anywhere else, both authors have approved the final question submitted, so you want to have in your calculator a final approval from authors.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): now talk about the value of human suffering, so my console because of that is you know the so 73.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Is experimentally, know that the piece of paper salaries and subjected to the psychic Marshall content is a large practical important for the paper industry talk about the uniqueness of your research.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The manuscript describes a micro mechanical model on the fiber network level they skip it attached experiment totally opposite behaviour.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In particular, the difference between because of the tension and compression is analyze john Smith, is a PhD student who will present itself to a thesis the people part of pieces so now talk about.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Three potential with us excellent expertise that we have this paper will be Dr Fernandes, of the chaplaincy right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Talk about this other suggested reviewer said, you can probably leverage upon and the end of the the.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Cover letter talk about oh very much appreciate it if you want to consider men strip the international Journal of science is something that you can consider doing out it's very important for you.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the letter is really your chance to speak to the editor.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): is submitted, along with the manuscript he talks about what makes a ministry special and you want to know any special.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): thing there's a lot of questions popping up now i'm going to take a quick look at it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You use all the whatsapp city was a typo yes, you can find a way to fit it all together it's not a must have the title itself needs to be engaged, so people are reading touches is, I would say use a couple of what's in the pocket so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You couldn't use policy that connection, or for the ministry and it could contribute to this exploration in the future it's very hard for me to answer this robot knowing on which data sets you're referring to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Or the question the topic at hand, but I would say that data collection in general.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We can talk about different figures right and table one table to table treatments about table one, this is the context in which aggregating the data and table to this part that as far I think this is what you mean by passing data collection, which case I think it's perfect sense.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): i'm not sure what a contextual paper is, unfortunately, maybe you may want to elaborate on this, my apologies.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): For references there is actually no fixed references recommend that, so I would say that it really depends on the subject and the topic that you're referring to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): What is the nature, the nature what's the particular nature of the research paper itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At the other day I was saying, you should only use preferences, which are relevant for your research article, while at the same time i'm being very thorough and detailed about it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I will say in this case the sky is the limit really um it depends on what you're writing about and the research question you're looking to find some.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So this something that you mean you're probably best known about when you're writing your menstrual.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So, unfortunately I cannot give you an answer, I would say, though, for engineering he observed that that's about 50 plus.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): References when it comes to health science anywhere up to 100 right, so it really depends, and welcome to what you feel is relevant, or do you feel that, yes, advance your knowledge of the subject itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you someone's by the question reviewing process can be time consuming it can be.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The motivating them so rejected, so I would say, in this case.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In this case, I would say, reviewing i'll say writing can be time consuming if there are many students, which, after.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The question is, what is your motivation for submitting amongst the first place right, if you want to sit answer research question.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At the end of the day, to find a way to how can you actually ask yourself how did you communicate scientific communication factor.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): It was rejected need as yourself why is it being rejected instead listen, it says structural problem, he said something that can be made better.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I will say that actually well failures always like a pathway to sabbatical or success right that slide Asian Chinese, but I will say is actually very, very.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): poignant out was so very, very foundational because if it didn't work out well he does have quite worked out right and the question is.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Is this something that you still want to pursue with and to challenge yourself to fix it tackle I think that's a very important question down put it over to you.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You shouldn't go through a process of writing grants just for the sake of writing mainstream.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You should be writing a research paper because he feels like there is actual value back to Of course we understand that when it comes to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Music, I think this was the whole question about promotion and tenure ship if that's the case in the US, so how can I be much more effective on scientific community to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): write as many questions that we have to address with regards to this So yes, I agree 100% rejections in general they'll always be very motivating and whiskey you're good, but you need to ask yourself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If it didn't work out why do you know, without and watching me get better and later when you do get accepted right, I can tell you the feeling is actually fantastic.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So somebody asked me a question Hypo Hypo to the rural libraries, we go right and this systematic literature review what is my thought on the sub titles is good or bad.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You can work right, sometimes I just you want to be engaging i'm i'm sure this is title, which has been accepted before and there's a reason has been accepted.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At the end of the day, I would say that really both some to what the abstract is about what's the research competition is about Islam right sometimes these topics with tasha I.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): it's a bit different hundred percent.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At the end, the day really boils down to the meat and potatoes of the research for yourself, so I think that's most important question thanks a lot for this small I think i've seen before, so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Okay, we have more questions itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Yes, you have a copy of this recording it's not to worry, so you have a copy of the slides and the recording.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Of someone's asking a Okay, is it necessary, saying Oscars fitness your articles you to submit this purpose database is not must actually it's not a must, but I will say that i'm.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): As an author, you want to leverage on quality research and references and the best way to do this is by leveraging on scopus.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): overcome sense right, those are the databases, we chat on index quality journals so it will make your life better because it just means that you don't you're not just reading.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Research from all around your reading to read the research, which would make your work also better corresponding so that's a very good question.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Okay, so I think we have enough questions for now and we'll move forward to talk about it, and I think the part about you talking about scope, this is actually very appointments, because now it gets brought us to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The next part of my presentation so, but the question I have for you said how are we able to ascertain whether or not journalists are good enough quality.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is a real question right and monster today is very simple, you can take a look through a multitude of factors.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): there's impact factor there's Eigen factor, there is sal or snip and they're successful right, so let me show metrics itself because mentioned self doubt good indicator for the 14th of July i'm not saying that the other definitely of measurement of quality, by the way.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So push guys editor that.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You see, editor for licensing business faces.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): This is chemical john i'm speaking, and so we caught his opinion or what are the types of things that he will look at.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So when he's looking at a title, he said he said, do I know what the papers about right, so I will go to the world like this evil right it's like a entirely right but.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You know that that research articles about rural life, so the question is what part about rural libraries are they referring to my big question.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Is the title informative and does it appeal to a large group of leaders and that a question that we want to ask, because a poorly chosen title is a missed opportunity to connect with your audience.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The extra has to be in line with the title in this to indicate the general significance of research question that's been tackled want to talk about the study right and the results they have to describe it sufficient detail so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Do you have friends, who has to talk about the competition and preferably in product perspective at the end of the day, the effort has to excite so that the reader to want to read the introduction of the journal itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you're talking about introduction it's not about just about what right like it's like the knowledge and submission of the property itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You need to talk about what are the gaps in current literature that this research we're feeling right it's kind of a white space on you want to talk about does it explain an urgency to fill these gaps.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): What were the people you to fill the gap, what are the inside scoop and, if you want to finish reading that type people before doing anything else right so introduction has to be very poignant you want to talk about how and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): i'm a few and to fix a research query as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): At the same time there's PS four feet when you're writing your fingers in tables he needs to be written ETS that deviations with explanations because yes.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): As a science journal detached not your electron Michael graphs images of photographs right want to see the data sets are working on.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Other research and discussion as the editor he wants to see what data, the author has edit whatever results and how it fits in and force a fuse under the discussion.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): References the major to the references has to be the fuel to the general that related and not just read the sentences, so I think there's something that you probably wouldn't pay very close attention to your writing you're seeking your consistency with the.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Last but not least, the cover letter and each of the collector How does it freeze to the editing Sir.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So we talked about major and minor revision right so under major revisions um.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So one thing I would say, first and foremost right we get a Michelin man, we shouldn't he doesn't necessarily guarantee that your work.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): you're not the index will be rejected, from the journal, or will be accepted by the right, the manager and the medium revision dimension may finally published in the Channel eventually.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But there's significant deficiencies which must be corrected before it happens, and this involves are significant textual modifications and or additional experiments.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And the minor revisions the ministry is worth being published some elements in demand script must be verified restructured shortened or expanded.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): My new revision does not guarantee acceptance of the revision, but it often is accepted it's all the points of this so when you can a major minor revision right um.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): there's a good translate that into context that, while your work has come a long way it's not been checked it right, so you can get better for sure.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): But I would say the revision process and part two major documents, so the first is to revise ministry highlighting all of the modifications made for the recommendation, specifically with us.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The second one is the letter listen to others responses showing the address all the concerns of the reviewers and editors.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): district process right, we need to write it very carefully so one thing you say the authors of the manuscript can agree or disagree with the comments of the reviewers but.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Agreement is usually encourage and they're not always applies to the recommendations that being saved if you if you're not advice to implement the recommendations right you want to provide a very well as justification for the cause of action.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you want to be very respectful you won't be there for like did you want to stay, if you disagree, this is why you disagree right, and then you put it in a dialogue way so that the noise good one, so be very respectful when you're drafting the second letter.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And what really to acceptance right it's your attentiveness to details when the check and double check and triple check your work.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you consider the reviewers comments and see what they have to say and how you make changes your English is rooted in the best possible way presentation is very important Take your time to revision right don't rush through the revision, for the sake of getting it done with.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Your lunch all those were helped you will talk about new alternatives previously unpublished what you wanted 50 evaluate your own manuscript and ethical rules must be this will lead to journal, I have managed to acceptance.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): and congratulations, you know this is how it's going to be like for you to get your people to accept it seems like everyone is out to get you is a very long and arduous journey is not easy, but when you get there, it is so fulfilling.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So I think a couple of questions i'm Dr his mom where can you get a list of journals and these different purpose so actually if you go to scope us up calm 500 sauces and this will be able to download the softness.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): you'll be able to find active titles and deep and inactive titles so you'll be able to find the disruptors that are no longer on schools, so this transition.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So at this point in time, before I go into the next component of ethics does anyone have any questions.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): All right, if not we'll proceed to this subsequently so either ethics itself right, I think, as we all know, this one day, it is very, very, very, very important because there's a lot of issues that we're facing right in terms of this information on in terms of predatory Jones.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Also, real problems, so one key thing that we pay very close attention to is confidentiality information about the process and expectations is fair very sensitive, especially from an ego commercial ethical perspective.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): office in general right, you have a right to process and we need to know that there are some important terms such as withdrawals reflections of mobile, as well as editorial independence, whether it's the final decisions, with the support from the publisher.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The many different types of ethical cases right like this is fraud, where there's fabrication facilitation of data on plagiarism.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Fake reviewers and office of research standards violations undisclosed conflicts of interest authorship disputes multiple submissions salons dicing citation nations doctrine.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So one of the key things and I think this might be useful tip for you, if any of you were to be.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right, because it would help to get networks, as well as a few if you were supposed to broaden your scope with regards to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Your research topic area, so the expertise that's the men's football in the expertise if it doesn't then it's better to live with someone else to define review i'm.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): always use for the editor if you could recommend alternative candidates as well right, so you don't do a self know best if you're a subject matter expert in this area.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So if you want you want to make sure that you're able to feel the timelines are you able to review the time arm to pretend to review within the specific deadline, because other people's research curious would depend on if.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You want to take it very seriously when you, you should have the office, improve the overall quality of the research and contribute to the quality of the journal.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If you have a strong positive or negative feeling about authors, you may want to avoid or to do the review, just so you can afford the bias.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): don't be intimidated by the task is slightly bigger been asked to review that someone values of the few and you want to respect confidentiality, the talk about the manuscripts the results or the methods we say this.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Some discussions we include all reviewers we identify some documents about the best results right, so this is one of those things where view that arm it really varies from people to people.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): to verify the originality of your research, you can cross check this will give you a very good guideline and question is basically database of over 30 million articles.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And the identity software will not editors and similarities between submission and database or publish articles Is this a few many interpretations always require this country says.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): We also offer ships do and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So there's.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I see em gee whiz the International Committee of medical journal right um you can meet you office often when you're able to contribute significantly so essentially to arm the conception and design of the, what are the acquisition or the analysis and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): All you're able to draft to work and revise it critically important intellectual content and final question prove all the question to publish.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): There is an agreement because of all aspects of the work in action, the questions related to the accuracy integrity of the words are investigator in songs.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So the first offers mentioned earlier contacts and supervisors that data analysis and the proper presentation and petition with results are he or she put the paper together and submit the paper to the gentleman.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): called co authors are wants to make intellectual contributions data analysis and contributes to the data interpretation, he or she would have to review escape a trust.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): God to present the results and to defend the implications, as well as to discuss that intentions once again the cheap very seriously goes authorship as well as the watershed.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So someone's asking regarding research ethics you decided this question as a fulfillment so you need to apply for research ethics for your article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I don't think you do, because it depends on what sort of interaction you're doing so for human ethics, while we're talking about human ethics testing, so I think there's something very, very careful.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): To be worried as well, but if you're doing human responses in terms of survey questions I can certainly find.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): someone's asking you find any authors that publishing similar research, but more than one channel.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): duplication publications unethical practices are you afraid to one.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): author submitting one manuscript to defend our publishers.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So, if so, one thing we should do we found upon very he said, if a researcher would meet one manuscript to two different publishers.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Definitely, we will definitely be able to find out if the article is publishing twice, it is something that is deeply unethical, so we never encouraged this to happen.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Because this isn't really a waste of time and he mentioned what happens if the same article was published in two different journals itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Surely one would have to be tracked right and the question is what happens then when you see a reduction of articles and everything because it's a big.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Sign right so it's a so big warning sign itself, so I would say.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): As an author you definitely want to be very careful when you're using it for submissions and when a journalist index on scopus it's very easy for us to tell whether or not that was semantic or not right, because of the title itself, and she was in the extras indexing so yeah.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): OK, so this is actually a perfect time to talk about this right, because how do we correct the right one.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So there is always an expression of content, which is a temporary inconclusive evidence, there is a collision which is honest and state and the Office is in full agreement with it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And you can weave story based on Articles impress and less frequently to article based publishing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): retraction is due to an infringement of professional ethical codes, we see attraction is never a good sign as well right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): When you see, we move oh it's a very extremely limited number of cases is certainly definitely article and just all those deeper rights, the article is the subject of a court order me prove it be a serious helpless.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): replacements even more rare that we move us because it violates patients privacy and the identification of false inaccurate data proof a civil service.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Okay, this next part of the topic which are discussing right So how are you able to choose a general.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So I think this is actually very important as our first and foremost right we spend a very large amount of time doing the research she's in a journal and writing the article.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I think it approved publishing and how you want to choose, it is very important because this really boils down to the best me here for you to get your work to be noticed, so you want to be very careful about it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So, first and foremost right one to find a channel, you can ask colleagues and peers for the recommendations watch journals they think it's good for you to get your to be punished.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You can get insights from a supervisor mentor or me or you may even put a consultation with the library good advice.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): very cheap right, so you get.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The articles that you've cited you released your references.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): right there is actually your bibliography is actually very.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Good for where you'd be want to get your book to be published so that's something that you may want to know so, not just for reference either people rafi of keep investing a few you want to search for authors your few and step away, is that the actual publishing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you know for general you went to class and I will always encourage you, for you in the States to begin with the end in mind right um what is it even trying to achieve, and then you can ask yourself the questions, what is my.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): ultimate decision Oh, is a review Article is supposed.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): To I want to publish it or Do I need to publish it open access journal.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Ask yourself if you're looking to pump multi disciplinary or.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Another question you have this food, you want to publish with a specific publisher.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Are you publishing decision data outputs or to help with lots of the children so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Now, when you're evaluating a general right, so we.
want to consider as.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): channels it's administered the right fit for the.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Other founder or institutional memory so consider this a gentle visible in the communities, I want to be charged instead of transport.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Is the general invest in the relevant databases.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): What do the general metrics review about this channel and last is a general reputable so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): festivals right right um This is why this is so important, very crucial you want to be social events books are the information.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): On the general, this is the publisher website, you can also find it, the author let's look at the recent posts ask yourself whether or not you'd be the best good so don't mean we've actually just give us a very large reason job editors you didn't even check manuscripts instead of people.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So be very careful about that.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So take a look at a subject USA the type of articles to be considered the discipline supported the supplementary foster welcome, and this is a regional or global jam.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You can also take a look at trends for new types of articles.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And so.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Those would specifically have been developed to publish this this article itself and to publish descriptions of the top methods hardware, software yeah.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So you can select titles that publish the commerce side, yes and articles of video I.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): can share visualizations of your scientific models are published data and the line the study or you choose journals that published sound rather than normal science or titles accept submissions from all disciplines are those with multi disciplinary approaches.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So second one okay any founder or institutional medicine, so we need to make sure the triple alliance with the funder or the institutional requirements regarding the publication, the general case we explain options around open access data publication and.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): and publisher websites will provide information on.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Which specific.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So if you're funding mandate right, you need to access to this outside so be very well you.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): don't forget to investigate institutional or funding funding requirements regarding publication, because this could jeopardize teacher funding or collaboration opportunities.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So it's a general reading the communities that you want to reach, so this is something that actually I think it's very.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So I spoke to the SP editor of years ago asked him about open access and data one films, if he or she reads humans something very interesting that the day he would publish his research, he did in the journal that he knows.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Right, because at the end, the day is about conveying the message your research question and research, my message to the communities that you want to reach out to.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So check the inside scoop for information on leadership in our service cases Janos is playing a matching when often the journal contents downloadable would show, and this is available via the general insights.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): check whether or not your colleagues in your mentors we would recommend the journal right and see if the journals pages are indexed in the databases in the subject area that you're reaching up to do not published in journals i'm reaching the audiences within your work.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): It ask yourself, is that are using the boat chance of acceptance for your general your work right.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): i'm looking for the acceptance and rejection rate that factor into your decision making sense the alternate meal for this information, for instance, and then Elsevier journals you can find it under the LCP a journal Finder.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I was influenced me to a general extremely.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): paper, especially if it's a priority, because you will lose time spend some new thing and waiting for your comments.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): In to receive constructive comments upon traction make sure you build that into your case before submitting it to engine itself so like I mentioned to you earlier it's Okay, if you can be submitted, but you must address the exam.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So it's very tempting to submit to the general the highest methods are the most with a nice name the few.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): It is also would have the highest production bits so it's not that you mentioned want except that you submitted your manuscript mix of the journals pray for us want to be very careful and honest with yourself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Is a journal indexed by the relevant databases, this was a lot more straightforward, so you can check for the general in the database and rigorous selection process like scoopers science.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): never ever rely solely on the journals claim to be listed in the database, it was predatory journals Munich.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Make false claims.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): All genesis in scopus are reviewed by independent content selection Advisory Board, which comprises of subject matter experts what.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The criteria is in scopus it's very stringent, it needs to have a peer review English abstracts to be published regularly or what's good references and a publishing.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And this is then access by 14 quantitative and qualitative selection criteria which looks at general policy content quality general setting publication, regularity and availability.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Also, one more thing if this is a new channel that impacts there'll be a time that's before is the databases.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): metrics are very important, because when you search within an ashtray and citation database, such as you're able to find comparables based on several citation methods so don't just simply rely solely upon one metric we decided to publish to write.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Because knowing how the general content has previously performed can help you understand trends impacting.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So metrics also showcases our.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): revelation right, so the San Francisco Dora the permission of usage assessment recommended a reduced to focus on impact.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And alternative approaches, because the NIH relative citation ratio and also be successful, and they will affect us will propose to highlight that we produce the successful reproducibility of study and retention metrics of about eggs user of metrics also.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So let me give you a huge huge range of understanding in terms of the research itself right so you'll be able to measure cited research some metrics measuring openers data quality and collaboration also quite as far.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Less than dollars, is the general record right, so the challenge that everyone faces in general on within the Community relations, there is no universal he agreed definition of a feature.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): That we have coming commenting on ethics and the war association of medical when they would define global publication ethics seconds street journal's descendants as well.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): One of the key things right, you said you cannot ignore the warning signs of the predatory journals which is wonderful if it costs.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And aggressively solicit submissions of.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The call for papers contain spelling and grammatical errors is shot publication history like for issues or less than the journals have access.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): I discovered the other content published in scope and the Office replication, especially within 48 hours to to to to say.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): So publishing a predatory journals negative consequences your article is perceived as not meeting for the Center because index peer review.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): increases provided by your band or institutional loss which will impact future grants of career progression opportunities and the reach of your work to be limited, if the general index data basis and the work itself, maybe loss if it's not archive correctly.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You to ask yourself and this of questions so on, and whether or not a generalist reputable library in questions is it let's say the general find the truth is in the condition of public.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You tell specifically wants to journal is a journal published by well known side press or publishing house is it.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): The editors and report Members are does it provide peer review other etc sphere that's the publisher provide about open access licenses yeah associated conditions So these are some tips that you can take a look at to verify if the generals but suitable or not.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And most reputable publishers will include the journalists code, this is asleep visible on the publisher website, it was called membership device and it says, an office with delicious instead comprehensive publishing and precision will be for.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You may also want to check the address and the contact details for the publisher to make sure that that possible, so no fake numbers no famous statue addresses right so be very careful of the editor.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): And this can be a warning sign up if you're unfamiliar with editors of numbers.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Make sure that it says right drop them a message on linkedin on messenger awesome if the participation seems unlikely check the bias at the institution of so excited to see if the me dimension, the editorial role for the journal itself.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): peer review is very important is the kind of stuff only publication or it's a stamp of approval for punishments.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): If a journal submissions publication time, especially hours or days or if the APC is people are friendly the journalists and I eat or very, very robust strong here, here we are.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): reputable journals open bars peer review process, whether or not a single a double like that it is pre or post publication.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Last but not least, the piece itself right check out the article publishing charges by checking the publishers pricing information.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Access if there was a request to be out front, be very careful of reputable open access journals for new invoice.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Even always accepted for publication, this is something i'll emphasize multiple.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): It doesn't mean that it's open access journal It therefore it's a predatory general you want to be very careful in which, when they charge the system.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Or you can also find details about oh eight licenses and the conditions you're featured on the journals information pitch or in the author got nines and publishers have a one or more of these licenses by the nonprofit through the comments.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): Okay, so I have a couple of questions coming in how they know that a generous and the revaluation by scopus because journals will not refuse to automate the adult evaluation.
Pak, Nicholas Shu Hwa (ELS-SNG): You don't I don't have to answer to this, either on the only time, you may want to know, so you chuck to either the publisher or the editor but I guess a question for you asking as a fight with a bunch of no agendas and the revaluation is probably because.
