It’s useful to see which articles go on to cite the paper you’re reading, and how it may have built on or challenged it’s ideas. Cited-by helps members find out who is citing their content, display the counts, and link to the citing content. CiteSeerX. *PLOS One: accelerating the publication of peer-reviewed science. Get The Research. *Citation Performance Indicators - A Very Short Introduction. In June, Clarivate (formerly Thomson Reuters) will release the Journal Citation Report (JCR), an annual summary of the citation performances of more than ten thousand academic journals.
While the JCR includes a variety of benchmark performance indicators, most users are focused on just one metric — the Journal Impact Factor. Designed as a tool for measuring and ranking the performance of journals within a field, the Impact Factor is now over 40 years old. In recent years, other citation-based metrics have been developed to complement, or compete with, the Impact Factor. Figshare - credit for all your research. Dimensions. *The Networked Academic.

A structured abstract is an abstract with distinct, labeled sections (e.g., Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion) for rapid comprehension (see Figure 1). Figure 1: PubMed Abstract Display for a Structured Abstract. What kinds of structures are used? Standardized formats for structured abstracts have been defined for original research studies, review articles and clinical practice guidelines (1,2).
The IMRAD format (INTRODUCTION, METHODS, RESULTS, and DISCUSSION), a defacto standard that reflects the process of scientific discovery (3), is commonly used as a structure for journal abstracts (4,5). Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communications. DORA – San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) For academics, what matters more: journal prestige or readership? With more than 30,000 academic journals now in circulation, academics can have a hard time figuring out where to submit their work for publication.

While a growing awareness of racial disparities has resulted in a groundswell of support for inclusivity in scholarly publishing, the resulting initiatives would be more effective if our professional associations were able to provide training materials to help transform our workplaces and organizational cultures.
Journal Citation Reports. Academic Collections 2019 Final. Publish or Perish. Connecting Research and Researchers. Rutgers University Begins Implementation of ORCID iDs. Today, Rutgers University begins a formal universitywide implementation of Open Researcher & Contributor IDs (ORCID iDs).
An ORCID iD is a persistent digital numeric identifier that distinguishes a researcher from every other researcher. It remains constant through changes in name or institutional affiliation, ensuring that a person’s work is properly attributed and recognized throughout their career. To date, nearly 4 million ORCID iDs have been issued to researchers around the world, including hundreds of affiliates at Rutgers.
Essentially, ORCID acts as a clearinghouse where researchers can compile and curate a record of their scholarly activity, including elements such as their funding history, affiliations, presentations, and published works. Science Conferences Are Stuck in the Dark Ages. Predatory journals: no definition, no defence.

Giant, corporate publishers with racketeering business practices and profit margins that exceed Apple’s treat life-saving research as a private commodity to be sold at exorbitant profits.
Only around 25 per cent of the global corpus of research knowledge is ‘open access’, or accessible to the public for free and without subscription, which is a real impediment to resolving major problems, such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Recently, Springer Nature, one of the largest academic publishers in the world, had to withdraw its European stock market floatation due to a lack of interest.
This announcement came just days after Couperin, a French consortium, cancelled its subscriptions to Springer Nature journals, after Swedish and German universities cancelled their Elsevier subscriptions to no ill effect, besides replenished library budgets.
