Publication in Scopus and Web of Science is a complex and multi-step process that requires a lot of effort from scientists. Using the services of a company specializing in scientific and publishing consulting, a scientific article is reviewed by at least 5 specialists before it is submitted to a scientific journal. Today we want to tell you in more detail about this process and what each stage of cooperation means.
For more than 6 years of leadership in the field of scientific publishing consulting, the “Scientific Publications” Company has developed for itself and its team a unique algorithm for reviewing scientific materials for the highest quality provision of its own services.
1. Free article audit
This stage begins after the initial familiarization with the client’s request and the specifics of his scientific article. The specialist of the work with clients department determines the scientific purpose of the researcher and conducts the primary analysis of his work. At this stage, the relevance level, novelty, material significance are evaluated, and a detailed description of the necessary improvements is also provided. A Cooperation Agreement is signed with the client, and the scientific article is submitted to the Department for the Implementation of Scientific Projects for check.
2. Material structuring and its editing
At this stage of cooperation, the material is proofread and checked by professional editors. Considerable attention is paid to the work structuring in accordance with the universal reference system - IMRAD (introduction, methods, results and discussion part). In addition, our specialists pay special attention to the correctness of the citations execution and used sources lists, as well as to the scientific article metadata, so that in the future the author’s work will be displayed in search systems and it is more often cited by other researchers.
3. Academic translation and proofreading by a native speaker
The language of the work is a tool for its understanding by the international scientific community. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the quality of this stage. Every scientific article submitted to the specialists of the “Scientific Publications” Company undergoes a translation stage into professional English, taking into account the professional terminology and proofreading by a native speaker.
4. Selection of a journal for publication and submission of work
At this stage, the company’s specialists conduct in-depth analysis in order to identify the most suitable journal for publication.
- Within the necessary database (Scopus or Web of Science), around 200 scientific publications are selected in accordance with the subject area, discipline, thematic content and formation terms of the next issue.
- The next stage is the communication with editorial boards and publishing houses regarding the work suitability. Thus, the range of journals is limited to 20-30.
- Next, the company’s specialists conduct an in-depth analysis of scientometric indicators and the dynamics of their change and choose 1 main journal and several alternative ones (in case of refusal by the first).
Only after that, the scientific work is submitted for consideration to the scientific journal.
5. Communication with representatives of the publication and schedules enforcement
After submitting the material for consideration by the editors and reviewers of the scientific publication, the work of the “Scientific Publications” Company does not end. We conduct constant communication with the publication representatives and form answers to their requests, which makes the cooperation process more productive.
Also, at the payment stage, our specialists help the author to understand the specifics of the banking and financial systems of the country in which the publication is planned. This helps to make the publication contribution without any hindrance.
6. Article indexing
After the scientific article publication, our specialists, if necessary, prepare a report on the services performed and the work indexing. Only at this stage the work on the publication project is completed.
The “Scientific Publications” Company guarantees you the result!
