Can I publish other material related to my paper alongside the journal publication? Supplementary files can enhance the online versions of published research articles. Supplementary files typically consist of video clips, animations or supplementary data such as data files, tables of extra information or extra figures. They can add to the reader’s understanding and present results in attractive ways that go beyond what can be presented in the print version of the journal. Most journals can include such data alongside your publication.
Once you approve the proof of your paper, this is the final version that will be published. Once a paper is published online it cannot be amended – any corrections have to be done through a corrigendum or erratum, which is a separate publication. Take some time to make sure that the proof you approve is exactly as you wish it to appear online, as it will be too late to make changes later.
Citation indexing
A citation index is a bibliographic database that allows users to trace papers that cite older publications and is an important method of linking information.
The abstract very concisely describes the content of your paper. It states simply what work you undertook, your results and your conclusions. Importantly, like the title, the abstract will help potential readers to decide whether your full paper will be of interest to them. Abstracts are usually less than 200 words in length and should not contain undefined abbreviations or jargon.
Why is it important to promote your work?
The title attracts the attention of your desired readership at a glance and should distinguish your paper from other published work. You might choose an eye-catching title to appeal to as many readers as possible, or a more descriptive title to engage readers with a specific interest in the subject of your paper.
The referees provide supporting remarks and their comments are generally very helpful for improving the quality of submitted papers.
Many publishers will go to great lengths to raise awareness of your paper. For example, IOP journals have a number of initiatives to promote papers including press releases, coverage on their community and journal websites, video abstracts, LabTalks and insights, highlights, e-mails to authors’ peers, and so on. However, not all papers can receive the full attention they deserve and the best experts for promoting the paper are the authors.
This depends on the journal policy. Often, if you can provide sufficient justification for an appeal and you can scientifically refute the reasons for the original rejection decision, then your appeal will be considered by the journal editors. You can check this with the journal’s editorial office.
Peer review
Peer review is the process used to assess whether an academic paper is suitable for publication based on the quality, originality and importance of the work.
It can be tempting to begin writing a paper before giving much thought to where it might be published. However, choosing a journal to target before you begin to prepare your paper will enable you to tailor your writing to the journal’s audience and format your paper according to its specific guidelines, which you may find on the journal’s website.
Whichever type of revision you have been asked to do, you should consider each referee report carefully and address every comment. As well as making changes to your paper, you should also provide a detailed point-by-point reply to each referee. Even if you do not agree with what the referee has said, or if you do not want to make a particular change, you should still provide an explanation in your reply. This will be very useful in helping the referees or editors to make a final decision on your paper.
ISI
The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), part of Thomson Reuters Corporation, specialises in citation indexing and analysis.
Copyright and ethical integrity
The referees provide supporting remarks and their comments are generally very helpful for improving the quality of submitted papers.
Once you have established a plan, you can begin writing your paper. You may wish to consider the following tips for good writing practice.
Will the referees know my identity? Yes, most journals operate a single-blind peer-review process, whereby the referees know who the authors are, but not vice versa.
Adjudicator
An adjudicator is an additional referee who is asked to consider a paper if two or more referees disagree in their recommendation. The adjudicator typically considers both the paper and the referee comments already obtained before reaching a final decision.
項目見出しはできる限り具体的かつ情報豊富に。例えば”The Rate of Self-Exchange Decreases with the Polarity of the Solvent”は”Measurement of Rates”よりも明らかに長い。しかし読者ににとっては良い。
「なぜこの仕事に取り組んだのか？」
「仕事にはどんな意味があるのか？」
「どういう仮説を確かめたかったのか？」
「実際に検証したのは何だったのか？」
「結果はどうなのか？新たな手法や化合物を生み出しているのか？それは何だろうか？」
「どんな測定法を使ったのか？」
「どんな化合物をどうやって同定したのか？」
研究の目的とは、仮説を系統立てて検証し、そこから結論を導くこと、そしてその結論を他人に伝えていくことだ。「データを集めること」はその目的ではない。
・研究目的
・研究目的の妥当性：なぜこの仕事は重要なのか？
・背景：他に誰がやっていたか？どのようなやり方で？我々は以前どう取り組んできたか？
・読者への手引き：読者は論文のどこに着目すべきか？とりわけ興味深い点はどこか？どういう研究戦略を我々は採用したのか？
・要約・結論：読者はどういう結論を期待すべきか？改訂を重ねたアウトライン上では、実験項(段落の小見出し程度）やマイクロフィルム項となるものも含めて、全ての項目が書かれてなければならない。
2.2. アウトラインはどのように書けばよいか？
論文(paper)とは、仮説・データ・結論を、読者に伝えるべく整理した文書のことだ。これこそが科学研究の中心的位置を占める。論文にならない研究は、何も成していないも同然。「興味深い研究でも未発表」ならば、それは「存在しない」も同じである。
古典的な方法だが、次の通り。まずは白い紙を用意する。そしてどんな順番でも良いので、論文に関係する、思いつく限りの重要事項を書き出してみる。この際には、一見して自明たりうる、以下のような事柄も自問してみるべきだろう。
「図・表・数式・反応式の形で、実験結果を出来る限り明確にかつ省力的にまとめたもの――それがすなわち論文だ」と意識すること。テキストは、論文上でデータを説明するための、二次的役割しか持たないと考えること。情報を表・数式などに凝縮すればするだけ、簡潔で読みやすい論文となる。
× This is a fast reaction
The team showed that it is possible to do several types of reaction in the bubbles, and even grow bacteria. In particular, they showed the bubbles could be pre-filled with a cocktail of chemicals, then used as a portable test kit for anaemia (see Bubble wrap blood tests). They also showed that chemists in developing nations could use the bubble wrap to try out small scale chemical experiments, using them as electrochemical cells, for example.
It’s a neat, but also a dangerous, chemical trick. Mercury is highly toxic. Breathing the fumes can cause flu-like respiratory problems at first. But quicksilver also causes serious damage to the nervous system so it often leads to problems with concentration, sight and touch. And containment of mercury is also a problem. If they’re not careful, miners can end up releasing the chemical into the air and environment where it enters the food chain. In some areas, people have become very ill after eating oysters or other seafood that had been exposed to huge mercury concentrations.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from reporting on global development, it’s that the low-hanging development fruit is gone. There’s been fantastic progress in many areas through the MDGs, much of this – including the progress on HIV – due in large part to contributions from scientists. But the problems we have left over are outstanding because they are more intractable.
I know this because after several years in university chemical laboratories, I switched careers and became a science journalist. And, somehow, I have found myself writing a lot about how science, including chemistry, plays a part in the growth of developing nations. So if you’ve ever felt a vague sense that you’d like to do something meaningful with your scientific career – well, you can. There are several ways you can go about it – and a few pitfalls to avoid.

There are several niggles with the bubble wrap reactions idea. For example, the chemicals needed to test for anaemia include a source of toxic cyanide anions and if the bubble wrap was popped, the chemical could escape. Another problem is that once chemicals are injected into the cells with a needle, they need to be firmly sealed up again to prevent leaks. Whitesides recommends this is done with nail hardener solution, which sounds as though it may not be foolproof, even if we accept that nail hardener is as cheap and widely available in the developing world as Whitesides says it is. Nevertheless, the idea is certainly an improvement on not having any container to do a reaction in, and Whitesides thinks it could be improved with more research.
On the other hand, the research does promise a fix to a tangible problem: the cost of plastic labware used in anaemia tests. DfID’s literature review shows there is good evidence that new technologies – from life-saving drugs to fuel-saving cookstoves – improve people’s health. This does seem to have a tangible effect on reducing poverty, presumably because those people can then access education or find a job. There is a caveat: there are many technologies that work on paper, but fail to deliver once on the ground because they do not fit into existing cultures, or ways of working.
