You can always continue your Msc title in PhD. Or did something similiar to your Msc title, for PhD student, the prof demand you to propose your idea. Only then he/she will guide.

QUOTE(ShrugsLova @ Jun 12 2012, 08:23 PM) I wrote the whole paper, he just amend a few thing from my draft. He then submitted the whole friggin thing after i graduated. But he did guide me throughout my research.. A name spelling error occured to me but it was due to the publishing house mistake.The name is just misspelled, all in all, it's still reassemble my name. You may contact the editor to change the spelling but it will only be for softcopy search ie google scholar, sciencedirect, etc as it is considered published and printed. Since you are not the corresponding author, you may need to be able to identify yourself. My advice is request your supervisor to contact the editor to correct this. Added on June 18, 2012, 9:00 pm QUOTE(alexkos @ Jun 17 2012, 11:11 PM) Dont worry, getting the first paper is always the most difficult and will spur you to produce more. Try to be more adventurous and submit to ISI listed journal next time.Added on June 18, 2012, 9:07 pm QUOTE(seanwc101 @ Jun 12 2012, 10:27 AM) my manuscript already rejected by 3 journals. 1. straight reject by editor, 2. straight reject by one of the reviewer, and 3. reject with major amendment which I decided not to pursue. dont lose hope. read what are the reviewers comment and improve the paper. straight reject by editor could be due to different scope or it is something considered not novel (for high IF journal). Sometimes, you may need more data or discussion to strenthen your case. alternatively, you may withdraw, do some minor revision and submit to another journal.some tips, it is not always necessary to follow everything the reviewer ask you to do or add, unless it is stated mandatory. of course you must give a solid justification, cite some reference ass back up etc. This post has been edited by Human Nature: Jun 18 2012, 09:25 PM |

Sometimes, you may need more data or discussion to strenthen your case. alternatively, you may withdraw, do some minor revision and submit to another journal. The high IF journal requires me to collect additional data.

Tables and figures should not be inserted in the pages of the manuscript but should be on separate sheets. 2. The desired position in the text for each table and figure should be indicated in the manuscript. I don't really get it. 1. Do I have to remove the table and figure from the manuscript and put them on a new sheet? 2. ??? I can't access the sample copy of the published paper to see its format.

Just place the figures on a new page after the references or in a separate document. Indicating in the manuscript means that you properly refer to the figures in your text. "Fig. 1 shows the architecture of etc etc.." From there the editors will be able to decide where the figures can be placed.

QUOTE(ShrugsLova @ Jun 12 2012, 04:30 PM) cant deny, the payroll is awesomesauce. hi, mind to tell where you doing your solar cell?hows the field going on? i m interested on this solar cell field as i m doing lithium and edlc field right now. >.<Added on June 12, 2012, 5:37 pm Hi all, I haven't read the entire thread but I think I’d have a glimpse of what this thread is all about. To keep story short, I’ve published my FYP paper in Polymer-Plastic Tech. & Engr. journal under my supervisor name as first author and I'm the co-author. No doubt, it is 100% my work but my supervisor suggests to put his name as a first author as he is more veteran in this field. It is just my FYP paper so I have no confidence that it will ended up in Q1 or Q2 journals. My guess is it published in some non-ISI journal (I’ve no idea how to differentiate). But what I’m really furious about is he misspelled my name - no idea whether it is on purpose or accidental. Anyhow, I just want to know is there any way to amend my name again? According to my supervisor, it can’t be change once published. To add, the FYP is uploaded by my supervisor after I graduated. Before that, he did ask my permission for publication and promise that he will put my name in it. By the way TS, I'm doing PhD in Organic Solar Cell. |

What's the different between Thomson Reuters and JCR/SCI.
Some journal uses Thomson reuters IF but some use JCR. Googled it but didn't really understand. |

Try searching the impact factor of a journal which appears in all three and see if they are the same. __ "It is a little confusing because of branding issues but in general just know that it goes like this: Thompson Reuters produces ISI Web of Knowledge, which is a larger platform that includes multiple databases and tools including Web of Science (which includes in itself Science Citation Index and some elements of information from Journal Citation Reports) and Journal Citation Reports (with full analytical information including impact factor). People may refer to various parts of this platform interchangeably but essentially it’s all in the same package and if you want to find out the impact factor of a journal just go to the library website, click on Database Names and type in either Web of Knowledge and choose the Additional Resources tab or just type in Journal Citation Reports directly. I hope that helped and didn’t confuse things!"

Is it recommendable to contact authors and request for a copy of their journal papers when we cannot get access to their full paper online? Recently I e-mailed an author of a journal to get his full length paper but that's because he openly encourages people to do so. This post has been edited by seanwc101: Aug 1 2012, 12:02 PM |
