RESEARCH POTENTIAL IN JOURNAL BEARINGS: Guidelines for Postgraduates and Researchers
The objective of this book is to help PhD students, master's students, undergraduate students, and researchers in defining research needs and techniques. This book offers Research Ideas in addition to a full list of the acronyms, analyses, techniques, and other words used in the 1999 journals linked to Journal Bearings. Students will get acquainted with the most utilised techniques, analyses, and models in this area of study by reading the list of tables in this book. Therefore, numerous research hurdles have been addressed, including identifying research gaps and generating a research methodology. This book is meant for researchers in Journal Bearings but is not restricted to them solely. This book is beneficial to everyone. As you can notice, this book contains only Tables that lists all the names of abbreviations, analysis, behaviour etc that are mentioned in all 1999 journals that are mentioned in references section. The purpose of the lists is to help identify the most occurrence names mentioned in those journals. This book gathers findings from hundreds of journals connected to the subject matter to help students find their research gaps and research methodologies easier. Students are urged to utilise this book to determine which research gaps and methodologies are appropriate for their research. Your choice should be discussed with your research supervisor.
The immense progress in Information Technology has accelerated its use in the domains of management. In the fields of academic publishing too, it has had its great influence. With the advent of the client-server based models of computing and the World Wide Web, the whole process merely reduces to typing out the document on the computer, a series of mouse clicks and receiving information via email. Not only does this save the cost of paper publications, it also saves the valuable time of both the publishers and the authors. By making the actual publication process quite convenient, easy and accessible, it helps in shifting the focus of the publishers more onto the quality and content of the journals themselves. Numerous publishing companies have either developed or acquired such IT systems for these tasks, notably. This paper makes a systematic case study of the general functions that such a system has to demonstrate, with SXC-IJACS as an example. The SXC-IJACS system has been developed for the authors' institution as part of the degree thesis requirement of Bhattacharyya and Mondal. A paper on the more technical aspects of the work has been previously published at an international conference.

One of the critical reasons for the rejections of a paper is that the topic and content of the submitted article are not relevant to the aims and scope of the journal. Traditionally, the authors select the journal based on personal experiences, specialist recommendations, and searching engines. However, with an exponentially increasing number of papers published every year, the authors could use supportive tools in finding which journal is most appropriate for posting their research as well as determining readers for their work. The authors need to take the crucial decision of choosing the journal for their prospective manuscript before even starting to write it. The paper introduces some popular manuscript matchers and using these tools in recommending journals in the Vietnamese research community. The research results have shown that journal choice decisions influenced by many factors such as time-bound review process, journal's visibility, indexation in databases, the regularity of publication, acceptance rate, and publication fee.
A Single Journal Study: Malaysian Journal of Computer Science
Malaysian Journal of Computer Science, 2009
Single journal studies are reviewed and measures used in the studies are highlighted. The following quantitative measures are used to study 272 articles published in Malaysian Journal of Computer Science, (1) the article productivity of the journal from 1985 to 2007, (2) the observed and expected authorship productivity tested using Lotka's Law of author productivity, identification and listing of core authors; (3) the authorship, co-authorship pattern by authors' country of origin and institutional affiliations; (4) the subject areas of research; (5) the citation analysis of resources referenced as well as the age and half-life of citations; the journals referenced and tested for zonal distribution using Bradford's law of journal scattering; the extent of web citations; and (6) the citations received by articles published in MJCS and impact factor of the journal based on information obtained from Google Scholar, the level of author and journal self-citation.
The SPARC Initiative: A Survey of Participants and Features Analysis of Their Journals
The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 2005
Coalition (SPARC) endorses a number of electronic journals in several disciplines. This web-based survey of SPARC partners, combined with a features analysis of their journals, describes the participants, their journals, motives for joining SPARC, perceived benefits of electronic journals, and other data. Recent literature on electronic publication is also reviewed.
User-defined valued metrics for electronic journals
2013
Building on the work done by the California Digital Library (CDL), the University of Minnesota Libraries is developing a set of user-defined value-based electronic journal usage metrics. User value is assessed in three overall categories: (1) utility or reading value, (2) quality or citing value, and (3) cost effectiveness. In addition to analyzing vendor-generated usage metrics, also included were Affinity String data, derived from the University of Minnesota's central authentication system that anonymously captures a user's academic department and degree program or position at the university and combined with vendor-generated usage data, provides a granular picture of journal use down to the title level. Collection management librarians and library users can benefit from a viable, more accurate metric for use and value of library resources than cost-per-download, which would ensure that the most needed/valued resources are available to further research and learning. Methodology: Metrics were identified that are utilized to determine e-journal retainability: OpenURL link resolver requests for article views, COUNTER-compliant downloads, JCR Impact Factors, Eigenfactor Scores, local citations from Thomson Reuters Local Journal Use Reports and Affinity String requests for article views. Two years of usage data were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients to compare the different metrics. Affinity String data is correlated with the results to determine any discipline or degree level differences. A composite score is assigned to each journal to assess its overall value in comparison to other journals within the same broad subject category. Findings: This project found SFX clickthroughs a more consistent predictor than COUNTER downloads of the journals our faculty will cite in their articles, with Eigenfactor a more consistent predictor of citation behavior than Impact Factor.
Criteria For Analysis of the Structure of Electronic Scientific Journals
International Conference on Electronic Publishing, 2003
This paper is the result of the Masters dissertation studying the role and history of scientific communication, especially the changes that have occurred after the appearance of electronic communication and computer networks. This study showed that hypertext systems are increasingly being used in the scientific and academic world in the production of electronic journals; this makes it possible for the
An AHP analysis of quality in AI and DSS journals
Omega, 2002
Over the years, a number of researchers have assessed the quality of information systems (IS) journals. Most of these studies have assessed general IS journals, but few have speciÿcally examined journals that focus on decision-making support systems. Furthermore, even though there are many factors that measure journal quality, very few gauges have been used in the previous evaluations. Recently, the authors reported a study that utilized the analytical hierarchy process to evaluate 20 top decision-making support system journals.
