TIPS TO PUBLISH

ISI/SCOPUS
Assoc. Prof. Dr .Mohamed Nor Azhari Azman
Scopus
- A product of Elsevier Publishing Co.
- Launched in 3 November 2004 as "the world's largest
abstract and indexing database”
- Scopus covers 27 million abstracts, 230 million
references and 200 million web pages”
- Scopus provides full citation coverage from 1996 and
onwards
The Advantages
• Create Scopus account instantly
• Able to cite the previous publication under Scopus index
• Able to generate your H-index even you have one (1)
citation
• The h-index is an index that attempts to measure both
the productivity and impact of the published work of a
scientist or scholar.
• Self citation
• Fast track publication instead of journal publication
• H-index Scopus is important to apply for KPM Grants
Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)
• The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) was founded by Eugene Garfield in
1960. It was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992, became
known as Thomson ISI and now is part of the Intellectual Property & Science
business of Thomson Reuters.
• ISI offered bibliographic database services. Its specialty: citation indexing and
analysis, a field pioneered by Garfield. It maintains citation databases covering
thousands of academic journals, including a continuation of its longtime print-
based indexing service the Science Citation Index (SCI), as well as the Social
Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index
(AHCI).
• The ISI also publishes the annual Journal Citation Reports which list an impact
factor for each of the journals that it tracks. Within the scientific community,
journal impact factors play a large but controversial role in determining the kudos
attached to a scientist's published research record.
Calculation of Impact Factor
• 2008 impact factor = A/B. where:

• A = the total number of "citable items"


published by that journal in 2006 and 2007.

• B = the number of times that all items


published in that journal in 2006 and 2007
were cited by indexed publications during
2008.
Calculation of H-Index
• A scholar with an index of h has published h papers in
which each has been cited in other papers at least h
times.

Why Publish?
• All researchers, to preserve their integrity, have an
obligation to publish the results of their studies (McMurray
et al., 2004)
• Nothing is easier than not to publish. Anyone can be a
bad researcher
• However, consistent publication requires a high level of
research excellence
• Journals and books simply cannot afford to publish
nonsense
• Publication is the way to keep researchers on their toes

Benefits of Publishing
• Publication is a pathway to showcasing yourself and your
research and has the capacity to help you gain personal
or commercial competitive advantage
gain may result in recognition or status in the form of becoming an
authority in a specific field, and/or
may even be used for promotion
• Research is improved through peer review
How else could you get two to three highly intelligent world experts
to spend two to three days of their time analysing your work and
providing constructive feedback?

• Three qualifications of
• authenticity
• originality, and
• significance
Where to Publish?
• Journal
Long turn-around time
 often a gap of two to three years between the completion of a research
project and its publication in a journal
Can be archival
More prestigious
Better feedback from reviewers and editor

• Conference
Immediate feedback

Senarai hitam jurnal
•Senario jurnal berbayar adalah terdiri majoritinya daripada penyelidik Malaysia yang boleh dikesan melalui
Scopus. Maka perkara ini perlu dielakkan. Jeffrey Beall telah membuat kajian bebas terhadap jurnal yang
diragui dan MyRA II telah mengeluarkan senarai hitam jurnal. Senarai jurnal yang diragui boleh dikesan
melalui http://scholarlyoa.com/individual-journals/ dan artikel terbitan Jeffrey boleh dirujuk sebagai 'jurnal
ragu'.
Kaedah Memeriksa Jurnal yang Diragui melalui Scopus

•Maka setiap jurnal yang ingin dihantar perlu disemak terlebih dahulu statusnya melalui pangkalan
data Scopus. Rajah 5, 6 dan 7 menunjukkan kaedah memeriksa jurnal Scientific Research Essay
melalui pangkalan data Scopus yang diragui dan telah di senarai hitam oleh pihak MyRA II. Jurnal ini
mengenakan bayaran sebanyak $550 dan didapati jurnal tersebut telah menggugurkan Scopus indeks
dihalaman jurnal tersebut apabila pengeluarannya tidak konsisten dalam pangkalan data Scopus.

Memastikan jurnal
Memeriksa taraf penerbit Scientific Research Essay Memastikan kemampuan
Jurnal Scientific Research mempunyai pengeluaran editor dalam menilai
Essay melalui pangkalan konsisten dan bukan bidang yang tidak terlalu
data Scopus berstatus 'coverage banyak dan boleh diragui
discontinued in Scopus'.

Pengeluaran terakhir
Memeriksa halaman jurnal Jurnal Scientific Research
tersebut dan didapati Essay ialah 2011 dan
telah menggugurkan menunjukkan
indeks Scopus pengeluarannya tidak
konsisten
