Publications by tag "Web of Science"

The publication activity of Kyrgyzstani scientists in international databases continues to grow. What requirements for publications in Scopus and Web of Science apply today? What has changed for the country’s universities and research institutes? We examine which legal acts define these changes and what goals the state programme to 2030 sets for the research sector.

Preparing a scientific article for publication goes far beyond writing the text: it also includes selecting a journal and going through peer review. Why do scholars often put this work off until the end of the year? And what does rushing before a reporting period lead to? We look at why it is better to start preparing a publication in advance and how to plan the time before autumn arrives.

Publishing a scientific paper is an important stage of any research project, yet a mistake at the journal-selection stage can undo years of work. How can a reliable journal be told apart from a fly-by-night one? Which criteria should the choice be based on? Here is how to build an algorithm for choosing a scientific journal and reduce the risk of rejection or of losing a publication altogether.

For most researchers, the reporting period turns into a period of last-minute pressure: articles are not yet ready, while deadlines have already been set. How can publication work be structured so that the necessary materials come out on time? What stages does a manuscript go through from concept to indexation? This article addresses all of these questions.

Psychiatrist, lecturer and PhD candidate in nutritional science and dietetics, Begimai discusses combining clinical practice with academic work. You will also learn why a practising doctor needs publications in scientific journals, and what lies behind her decision to continue her studies in a doctoral programme abroad.

The article is prepared, the structure is sound, the reference list is formatted – and yet a rejection still arrives. Does this situation sound familiar? In practice, editorial boards are guided by a number of criteria that are not always set out explicitly in the author guidelines. Which of these most often go unnoticed? We analyse precisely what editors and reviewers pay attention to when assessing manuscripts.
