The scientific holding Scientific Alliance marks a milestone – 10 years in expert support for scholars. What achievements are we most proud of? Read on.
The new academic year begins on 1 September, bringing a heavier teaching load with it. Will there be enough time to submit a paper before then? Here is how to plan publications in advance.
More and more scientists are using artificial intelligence when preparing scientific articles – from finding the right wording to analysing the literature. But does the journal’s editorial board need to be told about this, and where is the line between acceptable help and a breach of academic ethics? We cover all of this in today’s video.
The Hirsch index remains one of the key benchmarks for assessing a scientist’s research output. What drives its growth, and why do one-off actions rarely produce a lasting result? We look at a practical strategy for raising this indicator – from auditing a research profile to managing citations.
A finished manuscript is only the beginning of a long road to international recognition. How long does peer review take? What happens to an article between submission and publication? And how many weeks pass before the work appears in a scientometric database? Let's look at how the publication process works at every stage.
An international publication requires not only a strong study, but also an understanding of where it will be indexed. Do the requirements of Scopus and Web of Science align? Why might the same journal receive a different quartile in each system? We look at how these two major citation databases differ, and what to consider when choosing a journal.
