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.

hi all, i haven't read the whole thread yet but i think i have a glimpse of this thread essence. i have published my FYP paper in some journal under my supervisor name as first author and i'm the co-author. it is 100% my work but my supervisor suggest to put his name first as he is more veteran in the field. It is my FYP work (no confidence that it will be in Q1 or Q2 journals) and I guess it is published in some non-ISI journal (i dont know how to differentiate). But what im real furious about, is he spelled my name incorrectly - no idea is purposely or accidentally. Anyhow, just want to know is there any way to amend my name again? According to my supervisor, it cant be change.

by the way TS, I'm in PhD in Organic Solar Cell.

did you write the journal paper? or he write the paper based on your research?

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..

The name is just misspelled, all in all, it's still reassemble my name.

Not easy to get accepted, even it is not listed.

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.

The high IF journal requires me to collect additional data. Currently I'm refining the paper based on the some of the reviews and will submit to other journal.

1. 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.

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.

I think they are just different but overlapping indexes, all owned by Thomson Reuters.

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!"

Thanks. Couldn't compare the IF value though.


Added on August 1, 2012, 12:02 pmGuys, I got a question. 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.

Yes, definitely. They will want others to cite their papers too. Some will responds, some not maybe due to change of working place/email, or simply too busy.

I already emailed some of the influential researchers in my field. Some of them did provide me with the requested papers.

Why I read many cv people put (ISI/Scopus indexed) at the very end of each of publications? But they rarely indicate other databases e.g. proquest,ebscohost, etc. That means publications in ISI/Scopus are automatically considered very good and prestigious?

For those in social sciences, did you managed to publish your work in journals listed in ISI/Scopus? I've been 2 years into phd but so far no luck getting accepted. Got mixed reviews. One reviewer rejected but another asked for minor correction. But the final decisions from editors always reject.

yup....ISI and Scopus have standard.... for newbie try slowly, try those Cabell directory journal, then slowly advance to scopus, then lastly ISI....that's social science exp for me.

Last time managed to publish 1 scopus (took 6 months) and 1 ISI/Scopus (low IF only-took 2 years from review till publish!!). But that's for master thesis. Maybe I was just lucky that time cos the reviewers and editor gave me major revision instead of straight reject. But now phd thesis all rejected lol. Very disappointing.
