TheInternational Congress on Peer Review and Biomedical 카지노 꽁머니 지급is perhaps the biggest, most important conference that addresses issues at the heart of scientific, technical and medical 카지노 꽁머니 지급. Hosted by theJournal of the American 카지노 꽁머니 지급 Association (JAMA), the 카지노 꽁머니 지급 is held only once every four years and represents the gathering of the best minds and thought leaders.
And, of course, Editage was there! Donald Samulack, President of U.S. Operations, and Aditya Vadrevu, Senior Manager of Services and Quality, attended a range of discussions on issues relevant to you, the author. The topics included authorship, citation, peer 카지노 꽁머니 지급, ethics, and open access. Here are some key highlights from the conference that are most relevant to the researcher community.
Peer 카지노 꽁머니 지급
While several studies presented an analysis of peer 카지노 꽁머니 지급 from the viewpoint of quality and efficiency in the journal workflow, perhaps the most interesting from an author’s perspective was a model of statistical 카지노 꽁머니 지급 being used by journals like theAnnals of Internal Medicine. Here, authors get to address and respond to specific statistical 카지노 꽁머니 지급 comments from a specialized statistician who is asked to 카지노 꽁머니 지급 manuscripts pre-selected by the journal editor and peer 카지노 꽁머니 지급er. Most authors are reported to have found significant improvements in their paper after this type of statistical 카지노 꽁머니 지급. Moreover, authors find that incorporating and responding to the statistical 카지노 꽁머니 지급 comments involves considerable effort but is justified by the degree of improvement in the paper.
카지노 꽁머니 지급hip
With rapid changes in technology and journal workflow supporting online 카지노 꽁머니 지급, are authors becoming more accepting of journals that publish online-only issues? A study among two prominent journals in the US and Norway showed that some authors are indeed open to online-only 카지노 꽁머니 지급, but a significant percentage would like the decision of whether the article is published in print or online to be made by an editor with the right of refusal or jointly by the editor and author.
Citations
Coercive citation—a practice where the journal editor pressurizes the 카지노 꽁머니 지급 to include citations from the editor’s journal—was a topic of active discussion during the conference. Researchers from the Netherlands investigated the impact of coercive citation on the impact factor of a group of business journals. The study showed that the proportion of self-citations to these journals was indeed boosted by the practice of coercive citation. Might this kind of a study then be extended to other areas or journals? Or to a point where we begin to define ways of checking and correcting coercive citation?
Ethics
As expected, the sessions on ethics invited the most enthusiastic participation and comments. Two themes stood out in these sessions: duplicate 카지노 꽁머니 지급 and plagiarism. Research on duplicate 카지노 꽁머니 지급 shows
that while the카지노 꽁머니 지급 Subject Headingsof the카지노 꽁머니 지급 Library of Medicineindicate “duplicate 카지노 꽁머니 지급” as a separate type of 카지노 꽁머니 지급, journals are not prompt in correcting the papers identified. A call was made for the publishing community to be more vigilant about duplicate 카지노 꽁머니 지급. A separate set of studies examined the growing role of software tools in the journal process for detecting plagiarism. While these tools are being adopted actively as part of the journal’s workflow, leading publishers like PLoS still find the need for human judgment in the decision.
