Make them easy for indexing and
searching! (informative, attractive,
effective)
Journal space is precious. Make your article as brief
as possible. If clarity can be achieved in n words,
never use n+1.

Statements that go beyond what the results can support
Avoid Unspecific expressions such as “higher
temperature”, “at a lower rate”.
Avoid Sudden introduction of new terms or ideas
Speculations on possible interpretations are allowed.
But these should be based on something, rather than
pure imagination.

10. • 9. References
Typically, there are more mistakes in the references than any
other part of the manuscript.
– Cite the main scientific publications on which your work is
based.
– Author details, title, journal name, volume, issue, page
number, year.
– Do not inflate the manuscript with too many references – it
doesn’t make it a better manuscript!
– Avoid excessive self-citations
– Avoid excessive citations of publications from the same
region 10

11. 10. Cover letter – your chance to speak to the
Editor
directly
– WHY did you submit the manuscript to THIS journal?
• Do not summarize your manuscript, or repeat the
abstract
– Mention special requirements, e.g. if you do not wish
your manuscript to be reviewed by certain reviewers.
– Albeit that most editors will not reject a manuscript
only because the cover letter is bad, a good cover
letter may accelerate the editorial process of your
paper.

20. TOOLS
• There are many tools available for measuring and tracking your research impact. Be aware that
comparisons across different tools are not advised, as they may use different algorithms and
different citation data to calculate impact.
• Web of Science Choosing "All Databases" allows you to search an index of journal articles,
conference proceedings, data sets, and other resources in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and
humanities.
• Google Scholar Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature.
From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers,
theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint
repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the
most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.--About Google scholar.

Scopus is a abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific
journals, books and conference proceedings.
Scopus features a biblio metrics tool to track citations over time for a set of authors or
documents, view h-index (publication impact) for specific authors, assess trends in
search results, analyze an author's publishing output, and gain insight into journal
performance.
claims to be the largest abstract and citation database of research literature and
quality web sources.

25. Google Scholar is a freely
accessible web search
engine that indexes the full
text or metadata of
scholarly literature across
an array of publishing
formats and disciplines.
25
GOOGLE SCHOLAR

26. Publish or Perish
• Publish or Perish is downloadable software that uses Google Scholar data to
calculate the following metrics:
• Total number of papers
• Total number of citations
• Average number of citations per paper
• Average number of citations per author
• Average number of papers per author
• Average number of citations per year
• Hirsch's H-Index and related parameters
• Egghe's G-Index
• The contemporary G-Index
• The age-weighted citation rate
• Two variations of individual H-Indices
• An analysis of the number of authors per paper
26

27. Measures of Author Impact
• An author's impact on their field or discipline has traditionally been
measured using the number of times their academic publications are
cited by other researchers.
• H-Index The most widely used research metric, measures both
productivity and impact of an author's scholarly output. Tools for
calculating your H-index include Web of Science and Google Scholar.
• G-Index Proposed in 2006 by Leo Egghe as an alternative to the H-
index, adds more weight to highly cited articles.
• i10-Index A very simple measure of impact, this metric is only used by
Google Scholar.
27

28. H-Index in Web of Science
• (Hirsch ,2005)
• H-Index = number of papers (h) with a citation number
≥ h.
• Example: a scientist with an H-Index of 37 has 37 papers
cited at least 37 times.
• Tools for measuring H-Index:
• Web of Science
• Google Scholar
28

29. 29

30. • The G-index was proposed by Leo Egghe in his
paper "Theory and Practice of the G-Index" in 2006 as an
improvement on the H-Index.
•
G-Index is calculated this way: "[Given a set of articles]
ranked in decreasing order of the number of citations
that they received, the G-Index is the (unique) largest
number such that the top g articles received (together) at
least g^2 citations.”
30
G-index

31. i10-Index
• Created by Google Scholar and used in Google's My
Citations feature.
• i10-Index = the number of publications with at least
10 citations.
• This very simple measure is only used by Google
Scholar.

34. Google Scholar Citations
• Google Scholar Citations is a citation service provided
free of charge. It is easy to set up, especially if you
already have a Google account. Like other citation
tracking services, it tracks academic articles, but it
also counts theses, book titles and other documents
towards author citation metrics.
34

35. CITE SCORE
• Cite Score is the number of citations received by a journal in one year to
documents published in the three previous years, divided by the number of
documents indexed in Scopus published in those same three years.
• Cite Score for 2015 counts the citations received in 2015 to documents
published in 2012, 2013 or 2014, and divides this by the number of
documents published in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
35

36. SJR
• Developed by Felix De moyo
• SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific
influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the
number of citations received by a journal and the importance
or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
SJR calculation
• Average No. of weighted citations received in a year
÷
No. of documents published in previous 3 years

39. SCImago Journal and Country Rank
• The SCImago Journal and Country Rank portal is a
free online resource that uses citation data from
Scopus, a scholarly research database, to provide
journal impact data. It also provides rankings by
journal country of origin and numerous visual
representations of journal impact data. The ranking
method is based on the well-known Google
PageRank algorithm

40. SCI
• The Science Citation Index (SCI) is a citation
index originally produced by the Institute
for Scientific Information (ISI) and created by Eugene
Garfield.

41. • DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals)
• DOAJ is a community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to
high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals. DOAJ is independent. All
funding is via donations, 40% of which comes from sponsorsand 60%
from members and publisher members. All DOAJ services are free of charge
including being indexed in DOAJ. All data is freely available.
• DOAJ operates an education and outreach program across the globe, focussing on
improving the quality of applications submitted.Peer review journals
• CiteSeerx is an evolving scientific literature digital library and search engine that
has focused primarily on the literature in computer and information science.

42. SNIP
• SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per
Paper) Calculation
• journal’s citation count per paper
÷
• citation potential in its subject area
42
A key indicator offered by
CWTS Journal Indicators is the SNIP indicator,
where SNIP stands for source normalized
impact per paper. This indicator measures the
average citation impact of the publications of
a journal.
Developed by Henk Moed

44. • Eigenfactor
• A journal's Eigenfactor score is measured as its importance to the scientific community. Scores are
scaled so that the sum of all journal scores is 100. In 2006, Nature had the highest score of 1.992.
• Intended to reflect the influence and prestige of journals.
• Created to help capture the value of publication output vs. journal quality (i.e. the value of a single
publication in a major journal vs. many publications in minor journals).
• Article Influcence Score
• The mean Article Influence Score is 1.00. An Article Influence Score greater than 1.00 indicates that
the articles in a journal have an above-average influence.
• Measures the average influence, per article, of the papers published in a journal.
• Calculated by dividing the Eigenfactor by the number of articles published in the journal.
•

can search the Eigenfactor Website to find the
scores for journals of interest.

46. • The Web of Science features ResearcherID, a service with which you
can create and manage your scholarly profile, generate citation
metrics and connect with other scholars. One problem that
ResearcherID addresses is name ambiguity (for example, there are
many different people named John Smith, so how do you
distinguish the publications that one wrote over the
others?). ResearcherID, in tandem with ORCID, assigns a unique ID
to each author and allows authors to identify papers that they
contributed to. For more information about setting up a
ResearcherID in Web of Science, go to the ResearcherID home page.
• Click on the image below for a short video about integrating your
ResearcherID with your ORCID:

47. • PLoS Article-Level Metrics (ALM)
• PLoS Article Level metrics (ALM) is a service provided
by the Public Library of Science (PLoS) for all authors
of works published in PLoS journals. ALM goes
beyond traditional metrics and considers not just
citation data, but also data regarding usage (such as
views and downloads), mentions in blogs and other
media, as well as metrics related to social media.
