Sometimes we go into research for many reasons but my question is who benefit most from a given publication? Th Author: regarding his/her career? Industrial world? Other Researchers? Or the Host Journal? Thanks.
There is no doubt that in these journals - especially the good ones - great benefit to scientific research and revitalization, and the movement of the resident, because of the many researches of the raising of scientific ideas, and the editing of the issues of the precise specialty of the journal.
The result is a process and product of temporal stages. In the beginning, the author as learner comes as first beneficent. The publication medium comes second. An evolving discourse community comes in 3rd rank as beneficent. If the work has breakthrough value, then I would say that later generations belong also to the beneficent group.
The benefits of the party that issued the magazine:
1- To consider this service as one of its advantages in the service of scientific research and community service.
2- If this body is a university or specialized scientific college, this is part of its service for scientific research and the service of its employees together.
3- If it is a commercial entity, it benefits from the dissemination of research, where it receives a corresponding publication of research from researchers, and a rewarding price for the magazine of buyers. Such as some commercial libraries that publish scientific journals.
1 - Open the space for them to publish their scientific research, and communicate their ideas to readers, especially since the published research is not long to be valid in independent books, although some researchers recently began to publish these research in books.
2 - These journals offer research on specialized researchers to read them and examine them and to make observations on them and then to release them and then publish them. The researcher will gain a journal of his methodology and opinions from this path before publishing the research to the general public.
3 - To benefit from such research in the academic promotion of the functions of the university, for example in Saudi Arabia does not rise Assistant Professor to the rank of associate professor only if four papers published in scientific journals, or half of the publication and the rest is acceptable for publication and awaiting publication at the time of submission of papers for promotion. From the rank of associate professor to the rank of professor, there must be six research papers published in this way. This is a great benefit for researchers, and a necessary path to scientific advancement.
Through publication of research paper, many stakeholders may be benefitted such as author(s) , other researchers, practitioners if applicable in industry, dissemination of knowledge for students and researchers.
Stakeholders (author, researchers, students, practitioners, publishers) share benefits from good new publication. On the other side, there are no benefit from bad publication.
Thanks Dr Florian Glodeanu, Dr Mohammad Mehdizadeh, Dr Drlatief Ahmad, Dr Ashok Pundir , Dr Emin Grbic, Dr Jihad Ahmed Younis, Dr Shibabrata Pattanayak, Dr Aleksandar Dejanović, Dr Luciano da F. Costa and Dr Sandeep Savitaprakash Sharma for your contribution.
One of the greatest benefits that the researcher draws from his research is to increase the knowledge and knowledge of the researcher: The only known means of reaching knowledge and discovering the new facts is the use of scientific research conducted by the individual or group of people. The increase of knowledge is very important when The student of knowledge, but the most important thing in his entire life.
Self-reliance in the study of problems and finding appropriate solutions: It is known there will be many obstacles and problems that will face the researcher during his research, and when self-reliance in solving these problems and find the best solutions to the development of the abilities, skills and experience at the researcher.
2. I think the main objective of publishing our work is to share our knowledge. Whoever needs that knowledge will benefit from it to build another knowledge to be shared and so on.
3. The other benefit is for ourselves as we build in our mind more neural connections that could take us to a higher level of understanding.
4. The material benefit that many people are looking for are meaningless.
The main beneficiary is the human being, but being realistic: university, publisher and the author benefits from it; and of course, the commercial aspect of papers mainly is in the favor of the publisher.
Thanks Dr Prabhjot Kaur, Dr Felix Nwafor, Dr Muhammad Tariq, Dr Djaafar Zemali, Dr Sahar Qazi, Dr Zin Eddine Dadach, Dr Nazia Asad and Dr Ali Rezaee for your contributions.
An ideal scenario is the research findings should help the humanity and their surroundings by adding to existing state of knowledge and providing useful evidence for improvements in practice and policy.
Research work rarely benefits the researcher, at least in proportion to the value of the research; a lab might benefit, a company but rarely the researcher. In the 19th century entrepreneurs mainly benefited from individual research but not the researchers themselves.
Ideally, the community/industrial world supposed to benefit most but nowadays most of the researches are just for academic purposes/promotion and they hardly contribute to the development of a nation. I would like to suggest that there should be a regulatory body that supposed to evaluate any published articles including the publisher on how the published items contributed to humanity.
Thanks Dr Nabeel Hameed Al-Saati, Dr Gulzar Shah, Dr Stanley Wilkin, Dr Rusudan Labadze, Dr Jelena Lukić, Dr Hassan Nima, Dr Borden Mushonga and Dr Samuel Kehinde Oyeniyi for your contributions.
I also utterly agree with Dr. Shibabrata Pattanayak's submission on this discussion. I would like to reiterate that the journal publishers has the highest economic benefit from a published paper (especially the ones received article processing charge).
Publishers, educational institutions, the researchers themselves. Publications and all researches contribute in onne way or another in the development of the country in all fields of knowledge and the world at large.
I think that the researcher is the primary beneficiary and then the rest of the researchers and institutions benefiting from the application of research work because the research is a knowledge history of the researcher himself
The Publisher will get publicity and royalty from the publication, whereas, its a plus point for the authors for academic benefit.
But nowadays, the publication is becoming hopeless as If you have good links with reviewers hen your even bad paper will get publish in a very good journal and if you are a new and unknown author, then a good paper even will be rejected with one word i.e. "Out of scope".
This is going to become a serious issue for the future of research.
In terms of economical benefits, it the journals that benefits more than others. However, in terms of moral benefits, the authors benefits more for the sake of their careers.
If you are working in the same subject as the author, you are going to benefit from the results published in his publication and those who will work in the same subject in the future.
The most direct beneficiaries are the researchers if publishing counts as a part of their evaluation. The ideal beneficiaries are consumers of findings that can use them to improve something. Scientific community is also a beneficiary.
Answer: the society!!!!!!!! The real essence of any academic research is to advance knowledge towards solving a particular societal problem technically, economically and environmentally.
The open access as well as print journal publishers make a success business at the cost of authors, reviewers, and research consumers. That is a constant. All other stakeholders bear some cost to reap the benefits.
The question is interesting. I think depend on who reads the article. If the article has been cited by someone who need the article, or the article makes someone have other idea after reading it
I agree with Mr. Achmad that is depend on who reads the article. Sometimes, all of those you mention are benefited from research, and in some cases some of them. But on the whole the most useful is the author and any researcher or industrial specialty of the competence of that research...
The scientific benefit is divided into more knowledge for graduate students, the development of methods, the economic return on the institution or the research center, the patent, the benefit of the development of certain machines, and also the benefit when investing in the scientific publication of the scientific journal
As referred to by other colleagues’ publication benefits category might fall into Economic, Academic, Innovation etc. However, publications might differ in their degree of satisfying the stated benefits.
Education is 'Global' in principle & academic of abovementioned 'Five' shall be assessed 'Qualitative' & 'Quantitative' only and only by 'Publications'
In a sane clime research is not only meant to enhance the academic promotion of the researcher but to contribute positively to the development of the society. No research no development, but its only where such research outputs are put into effective use.
From a particular publication, naturally the author itself get professional add on to his/ her research carrier. Second being the society/ sub-domain who is reading/ utilising the outcome. These two are the actual end-user beneficiaries as far as research work/ output is concerned.
The person that benefits most from a published work is the public because he/she had acquired knowledge, followed by the author because he has created awareness/knowledge and lastly the publisher because of the financial benefit.
The financial tend to lie mostly with publishers, certainly over time. Although all kinds of writing is hard, the financial benefits to an author rarely match the effort. But most of us do not write only for that reason.-
