Dear Dr. Mohammed N J Alzaidy ,

I do not think that magazines are interested in what the researcher wants because the magazines are the strongest authority and researcher is the one who needs them. There are no weaker dictates conditions on the strongest! In addition to the magazines run by different companies with different directions and visions.

Best Regards.

Yes

نعم أوافق وأتمنى ذلك لأننا نعاني من هذه الاختلافات لذا بتوحيد التنظيم سوف يكون ذلك مفيدا

Yes I agree and wish because we are of these differences so that the organization will be useful

yes it is very useful as it can save time for resubmission, once rejected from some journal

I don't think so. It would promote stereotypes while other researchers may use it as a yardstick in making multiple submissions of the same paper to different journals. Let's enjoy the diversity!

Dear Dickson, majority of researchers are following research ethics. Those who are not following ethics, they are submitting there research article to multiple journals in current scenario also.

But if system gets unified it can save time of greater number of researchers.

No, I do not agree. The respective journal management should create and maintain the template they deem appropriate as is the case now. Presentations of research outputs should not be limited by a single template. A single template may even be too complicated or inadequate to meet the publication needs across research fields.

no, variation required

I think no difference.

Dear Karen A. Darbinyan

How there is no difference, because if you want to resubmit your article to another journal, you have to revise the article from the beginning according to the new template of this journal, and I think that this is a complicated and unnecessary process. Do you agree with me?

Unification stops the natural evolution of scientific journals.

Yes. I agree

Yes this can save time

It is definitely time-consuming; however, diversity enhances advances in scientific writing/presentation. We are scholars and have a responsibility to pursue for the better.

Yeah, It would seem it would make things better but at the end of it all, it is often hard (if not for other reasons) to submit a manuscript to more than one journal. The only piece of my mind that i would share is to make your article as comprehensive as possible so that it does not get rejected by a journal you chose. Also, your choice of the journal dictates the possibility of you resubmitting the same manuscript to another journal. Other than this, I see the different templates for the journals quite handy, and many of these journals have reasons for this.

Atleast reference section unification will help to save time.

It would be advisable to avoid the time that is used to adapt your research to each format of the published magazine. On the other hand, the conversion to a single style can cause essential aspects of your work to be lost, since each Journal focuses on the article based on its interests, according to the field of research.

Thanks to all researchers who contribute in this discussion

Mohammed

Yes. I agree

A unified template of journals would greatly simplify my work since I am reading an average of 2000 papers a year.

Dear Dr. Jean-Pierre Jost, this is fantastic work, you are a great researcher, I hope the best for you.

Regards

It would be useful.

I would be a very sapient step if the temples of journals follow similar instructions. But I think this is one of our beautiful deferred dreams.

thank you very much for your contribution with this discussion.

No, I do not agree. The template works as an ID of the journal. In submission process, for the researcher it is useful to unify but as a reader you may be feel boring if all journals have the same template. The life based on varity.

Yes I agree

many journals have privacy in shape , view and arrangement methods. Therefore the template is express to the journal privacy

Yes I agree

I think it is expected in future to have this unification with the advanced authoring tools.

Yes I agree,

totally agree

I would like to thank all researchers who shared their contribution and opinions with this discussion.

Best regards

Totally!

Yes

Yes

No, every journal has their special instruction, this makes the competition between journals

No I don't agree

because every journal had a special instructions and guidelines according to the quality of the submitted paper

Pour moi je pense pas que c'est vraiment utile d'unifier les modèles de revues. Un ça crée une diversité et deux au chercheur de ménager un peu d'effort et trois il y a le coté aperçu du journal (esthétique)

Dear Benamar Belgherbi, we don't understand any thing, please make answer in English language.

Dear Dr. Adil Malik, I absolutely agree with you.

Thanks to all researchers for their contribution with this discussion.

I do not agree. The template is like a identity of a particular journal. It helps us to identify the journal without even reading it but just looking at its outlook.

Yes , I believe it has to be unified as it is beneficial in may ways. Firstly it would be easy to prepare the manuscript in the same format and can be sent to any journal. Especially in the method of bibliography writing.

I don't think the variation of journal template is an issue for researcher, specially there is a kind of unification for journals and conferences manged by same foundation

Well. I do not agree to this. Format works as an identity to different journals. But I think what can be done to help researchers is that journals allow researchers to submit the manuscripts without any formatting. Once the manuscript is accepted for publication, authors can be asked to format it according to journal guidelines.

Dear Dr. Shivani Rani , I absolutely agree with your answer about formatting the paper according to the journal guidelines after its accept.
