There are number of factors:
Both quantitative and qualitative factors determine the scientific value of a journal.When we consider qualitative factors we take into account the originality of scientific paper,the impact of the scientific results-citation and finally the extent of international cooperation. Under international cooperation we imply participation on international projects and if the work itself received any awards by relevant institutions. As for the quantitative factors we can discuss the categorization of the journal itself.
Contributions to high impact and evidence-based implications in local and global communities.
There are number of factors:
Reputed, trusted, peer reviewed journal maintaining its quality with good impact factor.
I am a little bit sceptical about these impact factors. At least one cannot find an absolute factor to compare all journals, it is like comparing apples with pears. In small scientific fields (e.g., Assyriology or even more exotic ones), the number of scientists and papers is small, and thus the number of citations is low. This cannot be compared with large fields like cell biology or particle physics.
I guess the scientific collective does, through citations and through scientists submitting manuscripts to a high degree - if no-one knows about the journal then clearly it is as if it didn't exist. I am sceptical about the value of rankings - one aggregated number seems to me to be rather one-dimensional (which it is!), :-) I wonder why there is no multidimensional score - the world of multi-criteria analysis people perhaps could be very happy to dig into that.
Strict dedication to research topics, methodical openess and an expanded discourse community, with respect to scientific learning and human communication.
1. A good and well-merited publisher that makes sure that the issue-printing and distribution works well.
2. A theme that is narrow enough, and well-defined enough, such that it is very clear whether it is a waste of time or not to submit anything to it - i.e., there should be no doubt what type of work can be published in it - or not.
3. An editorial board with a conscience, lots of expertize, and a very broad network of science friends to call on for all sorts of duties.
4. A new idea, not tried before, such that the journal has an edge of sorts against its nearest competitors.
I think that's enough for a start!
Instantaneous and delayed change in the co-associative probability of multi-modal linguistic components across all languages.
You're not making sense, Naushad. Your "good English" is not good English. Can you expand your views a little?
Indeed, Naushad. Do you have access to a translator? I do know that several of those don't function very well.
Dear Sir,
I do think the DEA method is used to evaluated scientific research papers since 1978.
All the best
You are right, Naushad - when you submit a manuscript then the IF is much less interesting than to know that the topics the journal covers fit your interest.
Hi,
The impact factor is regarded globally; Apart from that, the quality and the swiftness of the review process, the reach of the journal to the scientific community, the honesty of the editorial office in handling the publication, are the factors, which a measure of the journal's scientific value.
Each article or research focuses on a particular scientific field and phenomenon, The analysis of the phenomenon aims primarily at "reaching the truth and nothing but the truth" no matter how small or large.
It is the " TRUTH" .
