Impact factor (using impact factor to assess the impact of a journal)shri mangalambikai
The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times it's articles are cited.
Impact Factors are useful, but they should not be the only consideration when judging quality. Not all journals are tracked in the JCR database and, as a result, do not have impact factors. New journals must wait until they have a record of citations before even being considered for inclusion. The scientific worth of an individual article has nothing to do with the impact factor of a journal.
Defining the h index and the calculation process. Also the main advantages and limitations besides how to increasing the h index.

Scopus : the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literatureSumit Kumar Gupta
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyse and visualise research.
As research becomes increasingly global, interdisciplinary and collaborative, you can make sure that critical research from around the world is not missed when you choose Scopus.
It’s important to remember that the impact factor only looks at an average citation and that a journal may have a few highly cited papers that greatly increase its impact factor, while other papers in that same journal may not be cited at all. Therefore, there is no direct correlation between an individual article’s citation frequency or quality and the journal impact factor.

Impact Factor: the Journal Competition, Scientific Excellence or Fool’s Game ...crimsonpublisherscojrr
In today’s world of competition for economic survival, it is not easy to give a convincing answer to the question in the title of this communication. As authors, researchers, academicians, leaders of research programmes and scholars, we cannot afford to ignore the subject of impact Factor because it is directly and indirectly affecting our livelihoods at all levels in the society, as decisions are now being made based on them to evaluate our performances and that of companies, departments and institutions. A lot about Impact Factors has been discussed in many spheres of human life and of course, everybody is right in his/her arguments. What best defines us as what we are as individual authors, researchers, academicians and scholars should be prioritized beyond the commercial elegance being attached. A careful and serious consideration need to be taken in order to avoid jeopardizing productive and developmental research. Having known the malpractices of Editors - in - Chief to attain a high Impact Factors for their respective journals, is it worthwhile therefore, maintaining the Impact Factor as a proxy measure of quality of research and academia in the society? Considering the origin and evolution of Impact Factor as an index metric measure for research journals and human malpractice nature, it is not prudent therefore for Impact Factor to be used to assess the quality and capability of individual authors, researchers, academicians, research programmes and scholars as well as institutions and/or companies.

Altmetrics – an alternative to traditional research indicatorsJens Peter Andersen
Basic presentation of altmetrics, introducing some central concepts, seen in relation to traditional bibliometrics. Discusses the potential, but also the theoretical problems, of altmetrics.
This presentation first outlines five different aspects of impact. I then look at what we can learn from the measurement of academic impact, usually operationalised as citations. I show that four key recommendations for academic impact (multiple sources, multiple metrics, cross-disciplinary focus, and long term perspective) can be applied to non-academic impact as well. In addition, I argue that the four C's of citation impact (competence, communication, collaboration, and care) also apply to non-academic impact.

TYPES OF PUBLICATIONS
TYPES AND QUALITY OF THE JOURNALS
Being authors from Asian countries make it a vulnerable target for Editor to coerce citation. Journal editors can strategically target younger professors from Asian countries. The editor forces authors to add unnecessary citations to an article before the journal will agree to publish it. The editor knows that the authors need to get their papers published and therefore more willing to add any unnecessary citations. This article shows a proof in the IEEE OSA Journal of Display Technology Journal, which has 2 special issues on Recent advances in solid state lighting.
My lecture explains all you need to know about Academic Journal Editors. Role and Responsibility. Including Abusing powe. With great power comes great responsibility.
This presentation shows you what, how, and why in scientific publication in conference proceedings. IEEE and SPIE are discussed. The use and abuse of proceedings for duplicate publications and self citation is heavily discussed.
Coercive citation, cite my paper or elsemalirohwani
This is my final presentation of research project on Coercive Citation. While the article focuses on economics, business, sociology and psychology, the problem is likely endemic to all journals. Coercive citation can also be practiced by an individual serving as editor of a journal with the aim to boost one’s own citations. Failure to recognize this trend is likely to cause an underestimation of the breadth of practice in this topic. I recently conducted my study for an individual Professor Nelson Tansu in electrical engineering. My analysis based on tangible data is compelling and appalling
Coercive citation is a malpractice in academic publishing wherein an editor of a scientific journal approached and coerced authors to add unwarranted citations to articles before the editor will agree to publish it. Previous study only investigated coercive citation from editors to enrich journals’ citations. However this practice has not been researched in an individual serving as editor or reviewer for a journal performing coercive citation with the ambition to boost one’s own citations. This research project undertakes a case study in electrical engineering. My finding is compelling and exposed that the subject of this study is involved in soliciting and coercing other authors into citing his articles in 2 major ways: (1) As editors of several journals, (2) A Guest Editor for a Special Issue. Substantial evidence and proofs from citations of the individual and journals are presented along with the discussion and arguments. The implication of this practice is discussed, mainly to cause agony in the integrity of academic publications.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. FOREWORD
But in science the credit goes to
the man who convinces the world,
not to the man to whom the idea
first occurs.
Sir Francis Darwin
3. JOURNAL IMPACT FACTOR - (THOMSON REUTERS)
Developed in the 60’s
Eugene Garfield and Irving Sher
To help select journals for the
SCI
Journal Citation Reports first
produced in 1975
4. JOURNAL CITATION REPORTS
The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and
comparing journals (Thomson Reuters)
The Impact Factor is one of these tools
Derived using citation data in the Science Citation Index and the Social Science
Citation Index
Helps determine a publication’s impact and influence in the global research
community (Thomson Reuters)
Widely accepted and used
5. THE IMPACT FACTOR
Journal Z IF 2011=
All citations from Thomsons Reuters journals in 2011 to papers in journal Z
Number of citable articles published in journal Z in 2009 & 2010
6. THE IMPACT FACTORIntroduced in 1960’s by Eugene Garfield: ISI
2009 and 20102011
IF=5
Articles published in 2009-2010
were cited an average of 5 times in 2011.

7. HOW THE JIF SHOULD BE USED
Wisely!
Thomson doesn’t depend on it alone to assess the usefulness of
journals so neither should anyone else
It should be used with ‘informed peer review’ (lots of things
influence citation rates)
12. HOW IS ‘IMPACT’ MEASURED?
“My article was published
in a journal with
an Impact Factor of 3.751”
What the …?
13. SO, HOW COULD ‘IMPACT’ BE MEASURED?
Where the work is published
JournalRank
Citations
scholarly, hyperlinks, social bookmarks
Web usage
Publisher platform; 3rd party locations
Expert ratings
F1000; Peer Reviewers; Ed Boards etc
Community rating & commenting
Digging; Commenting; Rating etc
14. SO, HOW COULD ‘IMPACT’ BE MEASURED?
Media/blog coverage
Which sources are considered the most important?
Policy development?
Who published it?
And where do they work? What did they publish before? How ‘impactful’ are they?
Who is talking about it?
And what authority do they have?
Who is citing it ?
And what authority do they have?
15. "NOT EVERYTHING
THAT CAN BE COUNTED COUNTS,
AND NOT EVERYTHING
THAT COUNTS CAN BE COUNTED."
Albert Einstein
19. NOVELTY
How to select the new result?
Think of:
• Initial hypothesis
• Hypothesis reformulation
• Lab seminar
• Meeting poster, oral
• Scientists outside your field
• Coffee breaks and friends
20. CLEAR
If you can’t explain something
simply, you don’t understand it
well.
Albert Einstein
• Do not make science ‘secret’
• Do not use complicated words
to look ‘serious’
• Editors hate abbreviations
23. CONCLUSIONS
No single ‘perfect’ JIF
Objective tools have a role and can contribute to the evaluation of research quality
when used appropriately – must be aware of their limitations!
More data sources available to rank journals
Complementary metrics (usage) should be used and studied further
Evaluation: expert peer review complemented by appropriate journal ranking data
Ongoing debate….
