SCHOLARS – create scientific knowledge, evaluate and share the knowledge with peers and public
through various medium. The most commonly used medium is through
scholarly journals
SCHOLARLY JOURNALS – a periodic publications contain articles written by scholars or professionals who are
experts in their fields. It is a collection of articles that is
published regularly throughout the year. The journal articles are written
by experts, for experts.
SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION – a system intended to disseminate
research findings/new knowledge in a timely manner; encourage participation in the scholarly
conversation; guarantee scholar integrity and quality

• Henry Oldenburg –editor of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society - the first true scholarly journal
• He began the practice of sending submitted manuscripts to experts who could judge their quality before publication –
• The beginning of modern scientific journal and the practice of peer review.
They come up with what they believe are unique hypotheses, base their
work on robust data and use an appropriate
research methodology.
As they write up their findings, they aim to
provide theoretical insight, and share theoretical and
practical implications about their work.
Finally, they submit the manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Scholars strive to do high-quality research that will advance science…
Writing for academic journals is a highly competitive activity, and it’s important to understand that there could be several reasons behind a rejection.
• Carefully re-reading the manuscript at different times to identify the most common problems and shortcomings in the manuscript
• Share the manuscripts with colleagues and request their feedback. Highlight any sections that you would like reviewers to be absolutely clear on.
Do not rush submitting your article for publication.
• Should not submit the research work to two or more journals at the same time.
• Research ethics and policies of all scholarly journals suggest that authors should submit a manuscript to only one journal at a time to avoid copyright problems for the author, the university and the journals involved.
Select an appropriate publication outlet.
• Read the aims and scope of the journals
• Download the author guidelines and ensure the manuscript conforms to them.
Read the aims and scope and author guidelines of your target journal carefully.
• The title and abstract are important components of a ~ the first elements a journal editor sees
• It should summarize the main theme of the article and reflect its contribution to the theory.
• The abstract should be crafted carefully and encompass the aim and scope of the study; the key problem to be addressed and theory; the method used; the data set; key findings; limitations; and implications for theory and practice.
Make a good first impression with your title and abstract.
• The key characteristic of scientific writing is clarity. It is highly advisable to have a professional editing firm copy-edit your manuscript.
• Between 30 percent and 50 percent of articles submitted to high impact journals are rejected before they even reach the peer-review stage, and one of the top reasons for rejection is poor language.
Have a professional editing firm copy-edit (not just proofread)
• Imperative to address all the comments received from the reviewers and avoid oversights
• Resubmission of the revised manuscript must happen by the deadline provided by the journal
Address reviewer comments very carefully.

Communicate new knowledge
Increase the impact and visibility of research
Establish/build your reputation
Register research findings, their timing & the person(s) responsible
Preserve a record of the findings for the long term
CREATION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE
“A paper is an organized description of hypotheses, data and conclusions, intended to instruct the reader. If your research does not generate papers, it might just as well not have it done”
(Whitesides, G. Adv. Mater., 2004, 16, 1375)
• 28,100 active indexed scholarly peer-reviewed journals, published >< 2.5 million articles a year
28,100
• The number of articles published each year and the number of journals have both growth steadily for over 2 centuries by about 3% to 3.5% per year
3-3.5%• Due to the huge
amount of journals available, making it visible is vitally important
Visibility
In 2016, STM (International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers) reported that:
Why Need to be Visible?
Disseminate new knowledge
Increase impact and visibility of the research
Establish researcher’s reputation
Be visible or vanish!!!
INCREASE CITATION COUNT
INCREASE AUTHOR’S H-INDEX
INCREASE JOURNAL’S IMPACT FACTORS
INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF SCHOLARLY OUTPUTS
High visibility will lead toward:
Content being referred to and cited more frequently
Increased brand familiarity that will leads to increased author submissions
The higher the number of submissions, the better the choice of what to be included in the journal ~ raise the quality of the journal
The more citations received, the more impact has the journal
HOW TO INCREASE THE
VISIBILITY?
The success of a journal depends on developing a loyal readership, who will become part
of the scholarly community, citing the content, and tell others about the value of the journal.
In order for this to transpire, the journal need to be discovered ~ the journal need to be
indexed…
Journals must increase their visibility, availability, and readership in order to be known as an authoritative source of scientific information, and to stand out from among many other publications
Getting the publication indexed by one or more leading databases.
achieved by
Being indexed in a known database will help increase journal’s readership and made it available to all users of the database
Being accessible in turn will improve journal’s reputation as a reliable source of high-quality information in the specific field.
Indexation of a journal is considered a reflection of its quality and are considered to be of higher scientific quality as compared to non-indexed journals.

Choose the right database
• Choose a database that is relevant to the journal’s field ~important to understand the features of the database providers.
• Some databases only index abstracts
• Some get professional indexers to scan entire manuscripts and index keywords.
• Some include citations in their indexing system.
Understand the selection process
followed by the database chosen
•Some general criteria that databases use to evaluate a journal’s suitability for indexing are quality of content published, publishing timeliness, and journal workflow and processes.
•Journal need to meet all criteria determine by the database to make sure that the journal is eligible to be indexed.
Ensure journal processes are smooth
and efficient
• Make sure journal meets the basic publication standards required by the industry (author friendly systems, smooth and timely peer reviews, easy accessibility, etc.).
• Need to highlight that the journal is worthy of being indexed by the database.
Approach a company with multiple
databases• Companies like Elsevier and Clarivate Analytics offer several indexes that cater the
journals.
1. Get unique author identifier to distinguish yourself and your work from other researchers.
2. Share outputs of your research
Publications, preprints, conference papers and posters, presentations, research data, video,
code are all evidence of research activity. By making them publicly accessible it will increase its visibility, preserve the outputs and make them available for future use.Sharing research data
These could be simply researcher’s personal and institutional web pages or commercial services to highlight their professional accomplishments and areas of expertise. Use Google Scholar Citation Profile or ImpactStory ~ a free online tool that allow researchers to showcase their research outputs (publications, presentations, data, code, posters, etc.)
Blogging is a great tool for making research content more visible. Writing a blog post, will create a content that can be freely shared via social media.
Twitter is an increasingly popular tool for researchers to popularize their research and build reputation. Some tips on how to use it effectively. Have a decent profile picture and text - this is how people will
find you. Use the Twitter search (or Google search) to find topics that
interest you - this will allow you to find and follow people working in your area
Look out for hash tags for events in your field (conferences/seminars). Follow them, even if you aren’t there. Comment on tweets that interest you or where you have something to say.
Set up search alerts to keep abreast of activity that’s of interest to you.
Tweet when your community is most active, and most likely to see your stuff.
Make use of Twitter lists to organize people you follow into thematic groups so that you don’t miss key things.
4. Engage in social networking communities
3. Create and keep up-to-date online profile

MEASURING SCHOLARLYIMPACT
“The impact of a research is the degree to which it has been useful to other researchers” (Bornmann, Mutz, Neuhaus, & Daniel, 2008, p. 93).
The impact measure takes into account reputation per academic product and expresses the amount of attention generated by the scholarly output
How to measure the impact?
SCHOLARLY OUTPUTS
CITATION INDEX
PUBLICATION DATA
SCHOLARLY IMPACT
To measure the impact of the scholarly works, tracking the scholarly output through publication data is requires. In order to obtain publication data, the publication need to be indexed in a citation index databases
1. Publication activity ~ show willingness to share research findings.
2. Authorship/collaboration patterns ~ show evidence of working with other authors, with various areas of research and institutional affiliations.
3. Citations to publications ~ demonstrates knowledge transfer of research findings
4. Citation patterns ~ demonstrates how original research is being used, by whom, in what areas of research, and where.
5. Grant acknowledgement networks ~ show how original research is being used by other research groups and who is funding those projects.
6. Cross-disciplinary of research efforts ~ demonstrates sharing of expertise and efficient use of resources.
7. Research trends represented by journals and articles ~ illustrate changes in publication activity and possible evidence of cross-disciplinary efforts.
8. Public engagement or activity noted for the work.

Scientific impact – quality of publication measured using the number of received
citation
Industrial impact – measured by counting the number of citations received from
those publications published by R&D of the industries in international journals
Innovation impact – number of received citations from a pattern
Societal impact – number of attention received by the articles through social
media.

Citation Analysis
Impact Factor (IF)
Citation Analysis
H-Index
• IF is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year.
• It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times it's articles are cited.
• Citation analysis involves counting the number of times an article is cited by other works to measure the impact of a publication or author
• Purpose: to find out how much impact a particular article/author has had, by showing which other authors cited the work within their own papers.
• An index to quantify an individual’s scientific research output.
• It is one specific method utilizing citation analysis to determine an individuals impact.
• It is based on the set of a researcher’s most cited papers and the number of citations that the researcher has received in other people's publications

contribute to academic discourse
Why publish if nobody cites your work?
assessments/academic promotions increasingly focus on impact
• To prepare for confirmation/promotion/yearly performance appraisal
• To know who is building on your work
• They might be future collaborators
• It is exciting to see how others are using your research, you might get new ideas through it
• To get an ego boost, someone has (presumably) read your work
• Why you want to know if your work is cited?
Web of Science (ClarivateAnalytics) ~ has long been the “gold standard” of impact measurement
Scopus (Elsevier) ~ used by most university ranking
Google Scholar ~ the only alternative that is:
Not focused on a single discipline only
Freely available to anyone with an Internet connection
MyCite ~ for Malaysia journals indexed by Malaysia Citation Center
• H-Index ~ a convenient summary of quantity & impact and is used in many research assessments
• Total citations ~ fairest way to assess impact for individuals
H-index of 10 means 10 papers with at least 10 citations each
Can be adjusted for co-authorships (Hi index, cites/authors) and for age (Hc index, citations in recent years count more)
a focus on citations per paper might discourage people to publish additional papers
It can be adjusted by years (Cites/year) age of papers (AWCR; age-weighted citation rate) and # of authors (AWCRpA)
• Discoverability of the publication
• The productivity and quality of the researcher work
• The impact of the research in the field
• Attract funding
Increasing citation count have a
positive impact on researcher’s; the
number of citation will demonstrate:
Publish rigorous, original and significant
research
Have a focused area of research
Ask yourself “is my work going to be
cited?”
Have knowledge of the journals you may want to publish in (do
researchers in your field publish there?)
