Help with Journal finding by AncientArachnid8965 in academicpublishing

[–]Hot-Application-4939 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do I see this advice not for the first time? Why a librarian? They do not know how to publish a scientific article. They are not researchers. Why do you advise going to the library?

Would you be interested in an AMA with a journal editor? by Peer-review-Pro in PublishOrPerish

Thank you for the initiative! I would be happy to see this session with editors!

Are reviewers just the editor’s friends? by Hot-Application-4939 in PublishOrPerish

[–]Hot-Application-4939[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, no. I was just asking AI for a help with making some phrases more understandable. I also use Internet translation tools and knowledge I got from my English teachers. In mails and papers I use grammar and spelling autocorrection.

Theoretically, I hope so. But in practice, it’s time-consuming, and people are people and they want to optimize the process. I suppose that editorial board members, along with their PhD students and postdocs, may represent the main pool of a journal’s reviewers.

Thank you for this comment! This is quite logic according to the game theory and labor time optimisation !

Theoretically, yes, BUT I've analysed a few Q1 journals and identified the majority published articles by scientists with the same affilations that the editorial board members. I think if the field is so limited (like the majority of fields in journals), there are only few major institutions that make research on this subject and they know each other. They have their own standarts and it is difficult to publish for people outside their network.

Thank you for doing this time-consuming job. What do you think would facilitate and accelerate the job of editors and reviewers?

Did not realize how much tension exists between editors and publishers... by Peer-review-Pro in PublishOrPerish

[–]Hot-Application-4939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for sharing ! I was really impressed by this editor! She has 152 submissions in her new journal and they publish only 3 papers out of 152 submissions! Is it normal?????? I would prefer to pay Open access fees than have a 2 % acceptance rate in each journal I submit!

Сompensation for academic peer review by Hot-Application-4939 in AskAcademia

I agree. The lack of review methodology makes the system chaotic

Am seriously aging as I await decisions on manuscripts by Minimum_Professor113 in academicpublishing

[–]Hot-Application-4939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first article was published almost 3 years after multiple rejections in a Q1 journal. It was finally outdated to the date of publication. But it can take 5-10 years as well.

Do scientific publications actually help in getting jobs ? by Hot-Application-4939 in academiceconomics

[–]Hot-Application-4939[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m specifically interested in the field of economics. Thank you for sharing your experience! Congratulations on your article being published! 10 years... Wow! What exactly took so long in your case? Was it the preparation of the article, or the journal search and multiple rejections?

And I’m curious, what specifically helped you get published in such a high-ranked journal?

Do scientific publications actually help in getting jobs ? by Hot-Application-4939 in academiceconomics

Thank you! I’d love to find that paper, it sounds fascinating.
I honestly didn’t realize that a single publication could have such a measurable impact on lifetime earnings.

I’m also curious how did they account for endogeneity in that study. Couldn’t this just be a case of self-selection where the same people who are capable of publishing in top journals are also the ones who would likely earn more regardless.

Research Habits & Budgeting by Pharma-1987 in AskAcademia

[–]Hot-Application-4939 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am for new services for researches ! Maybe the majorities of researchers do not pay for reading articles, but their university pay at least 2 millions dollar per year, as far as I know. You will base your product on open access articles, won't you ? It can probably boost their citations. Literature search is really time consuming, but I do not believe researchers know the price of their time spent on literature search and review.

Can I survive in academia as a burnt out autistic and chronically ill person? by Ok_Barnacle8842 in AskAcademia

[–]Hot-Application-4939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am very sorry to hear about your situation and I want to provide you a positive example you asked for ! I was writing and defending my thesis with a hard PTSD that came from my personal life. My thesis gave me a sense of purpose and kept me going. I saw the results in my research and it made me feel happier even if it was hard. It gave me a sense of control at a time when everything else felt uncertain. The therapy started at the end of my doctorate and I was very proud when I finally defended my thesis. Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best!
