The object of research is to extend humanknowledge beyond what is already known.

But an individuals knowledge enters the

domain of science only after it is presented toothers in such a fashion that they can

independently judge its validity

(NAP, On Being a Scientist 1995)

Scientific Knowledge


3/43

Science is a shared knowledge based

on a common understanding of someaspect of the physical or social world

Presentations- Social conventions play an important role in establishing

the reliability of scientific knowledge

Publications in peer reviewed journals- Research results are privileged until they are published

(NAP, On Being a Scientist 1995)

Sharing Scientific Knowledge


4/43

Why Publish?

A paper is an organized description of

hypotheses, data and conclusions, intended

to instruct the reader. If your research does not

generate papers, it might just as well not have

been done (G. Whitesides, Adv. Mater., 2004,16, 1375)

if it wasnt published, it wasnt done - in

E.H. Miller 1993

Journal

Authors Reviewer

Scientific Publication is a Team Effort

ACS Journals:http://pubs.acs.org/about.html


6/43

Author Responsibilities Preparation and Submission of Manuscripts:

Follow General Rules:

Ensure work is new and original research

All Authors listed on ms are aware of submission

and agree with content and support submission Agree that the manuscript can be examined by

anonymous reviewers.

Provide copies of related work submitted or

published elsewhere Obtain copyright permission if figures/tables need to

be reproduced

Include proper affiliation


7/43

What is publishable.

Journals like to publish papers that are goingto be widely read and useful to the readers

Papers that report original and significantfindings that are likely to be of interest to a broad

spectrum of its readers Papers that are well organized and well written,

with clear statements regarding how the findingsrelate to and advance the

understanding/development of the subject Papers that are concise and yet complete in

their presentation of the findings


8/43

What is not acceptable

Papers that are routine extensions of previousreports and that do not appreciably advancefundamental understanding or knowledge in thearea

Incremental / fragmentary reports of researchresults

Verbose, poorly organized, papers clutteredwith unnecessary or poor quality illustrations

Violations of ethical guidelines, includingplagiarism of any type or degree (of others or ofoneself)


9/43

Useful Definitions:Scientific Misconduct

Scientific misconduct means fabrication,

falsification, plagiarism, or other practices

that seriously deviate from those that are

commonly accepted within the scientific

community for proposing, conducting or

reporting research

10/43

Useful Definitions:Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism

Plagiarism: using the ideas or words of

another person without giving appropriate

credit (Nat. Acad. Press document) Self-Plagiarism: The verbatim copying or

reuse of ones own research (IEEE Policy

statement)

Both types of plagiarism are considered tobe unacceptable practice by mostscientific publications


11/43

Other Types of Ethical Violations

Duplicate publication/submission of

research findings; failure to inform the

editor of related papers that the author has

under consideration or in press

Unrevealed conflicts of interest that could

affect the interpretation of the findings

Misrepresentation of research findings -

use of selective or fraudulent data to

support a hypothesis or claim

Ethical Responsibilities for Authors in

The Journal of Physical ChemistryI recently took the step of retracting from the scientific record a letter publishedin The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, as it is emblematic of a type of authormisconduct that we as research professionals must seek to avoid if we are to

uphold the integrity of the scientific literature.

The letter in question was a publication by Fang et al., J. Phys. Chem. C2007,111, 1065-1070. After publication of the letter, it was brought to our attentionthat the paper by Fang et al., as submitted and subsequently published by the

journal after peer review, included a number of figures that duplicated those

contained within previously published papers by other authors ... I judged

such misconduct by the authors to constitute a serious instance of plagiarism.

The Plagiarism HunterWhen one graduate student went to the library, he found copycats lots of them By PAULA WASLEY, Athens, Ohio

In Ohio University's Library, Thomas A. Matrka takes just 15 minutes to hit pay dirt. Scattered

before him on a table are 16 chemical-engineering master's theses on "multiphase flow.

Identical diagrams in two theses from 1997 and 1998 strike him as suspicious. Turning a few

more pages, he confirms what he suspected..

Most of the plagiarism found at Ohio occurred in introductory chapters describing researchmethods and reviewing the previous literature in the field, for which there is little expectation

of originality. And all but a few cases involved international students who, he says, whetherthrough ignorance, laziness, or cultural misunderstanding, may have either not knowncorrect citation practices or, struggling to write in a foreign language, been tempted toborrow another student's words.

How Journals Detect and HandleProblem Papers

Information received from reviewers or othereditors

Literature search for related papers by the author

Withdrawal of a paper from publication

Banning authors from publication in the journalfor 3-5 years and informing the co-authors and

editors of related journals of our action

For less serious cases, placing the author on awatch list for careful examination of theirsubmissions prior to requesting reviews

A Call for Cooperation

We would like to encourage the leaders ofacademic research groups to inform theirstudents and research associates about theethical responsibilities of authors of scientific

publications and to insure that, when they aregiven the responsibility for submitting apaper, they are fully aware of the potentialconsequences, to themselves and to their co-

authors, of violations in these ethicalguidelines.

28/43

Scope

The Journal of Physical Chemistryis devoted toreporting new and original experimental andtheoretical basic research of interest to physicalchemists, biophysical chemists, and chemicalphysicists.

Papers submitted to J. Phys. Chem. should provide an indepth study and present important new scientific advances.It should also carry a strong scientific discussion.

An important criterion for acceptance is that the paperprovides new physical chemistry insights derived from theresults.




29/43

Lettersare short articles that report results whose immediate availability tothe scientific community is deemed important. Letters may occasionally havea follow-up publication when the research is continued and a more complete

account of the work is deemed necessary.

Articles should report original research that is expected to have a definableimpact on the advancement of science and technology. Manuscripts shouldcover their subjects with thoroughness and clarity but should be as concise as

possible.

Feature Articles/Review Articlesare usually published by

invitation; however, Authors in important active research fields of interest tophysical chemists are encouraged to propose such articles. Two page proposalsshould be sent to the Editor-in-Chief for consideration.

Types of Contributions

NOTE: It is important to make a proper selection of theLetter or Article category during MS submission




30/43

Editorial Office

Author Reviewer

Submission, Editorial Screening, Reviewing and Editorial DecisionProcesses are similar to those presented in previous talks


Scientific Publication is a Team Effort


31/43

Title, Abstract and Figures

-Title should represent the content of the paper (avoidstudy,investigation, novel, facile, simple etcin the title)

-Abstract should be concise.

Briefly indicate the problem, methods, results, and

conclusions in a simple text that general audience can

understand and appreciate your work.

-Figures should be checked carefully before submission.

Check font size, axis label and identification ofindividual traces

Avoid meaningless numbers

Clarity

Move additional/ repetitive figures to supportinginformation



32/43

Revision Request

Read the Reviewers comments carefully.

The Reviewers and Editors spend a lot of time to makesuggestions and improve the scientific quality of the paper.The authors should make every effort to address theirconcerns.

Revision is an opportunity to improve the scientific quality ofthe paper. If these issues are not addressed properly, the papergets rejected.

Often misuse of scientific context or bad presentation leads tomisunderstanding of the statement made in the text.

Use supporting information to include figures, tables,derivations, movies, photographs, methods & techniques etc.


Request for Revision is not a guarantee that the paper will be accepted



33/43

What to do when a paper gets rejected

Do not get discouraged. Read editorial comments and discusswith advisor/students/collaborators. Find out how you can makethis study stronger and acceptable for publication.

Do not just turn around and submit the paper to another journal.Read carefully the comments and find ways to improve thescientific quality of the papers

Carry out additional experiments and improve the quality ofscientific discussions. (JPC often looks for papers withquantitative and mechanistic information that represent newphysical insights )

Rejected papers can be resubmitted if and only the concerns of thereviewers are adequately addressed and new results are included.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact the

editorial office.




34/43

Data without scientific discussion, applications of data, orreviews of the literature are not sufficient.

Routine synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials orstudies that report incremental advance are not considered

suitable for publication.

Use of the phrase Novel or First-time in the title orabstract. Such descriptions do not impress the reader orthe reviewer.(Another over used phrase One-pot synthesis )

Names of flowers, fruits and vegetables to describe thenanoparticle/nanostructure shapes/morphology

What to Avoid?




35/43

The authors should make every effort to make agood presentation with proper usage of Englishgrammar.

English is not my Native Language is not a validjustification for reviewer who cannot comprehend.

Reviewers do not wish to review papers that are notreadable. Badly written papers are oftenrecommended as REJECT by the Reviewers

ACS Publication office helps to edit the language foraccepted manuscripts, but this only happens if theEnglish was good enough to be reviewed.

To do even better .



36/43

Ten characteristics of an incredibly dull paperSand-Jenson in Oikos 2007, 116 723 (C&E News Sept 10, 2007)

1. Avoid Focus2. Avoid originality and personality

3. Make the article really really long

4. Do not indicate any potential implications

5. Leave out illustrations (too much effort to draw asensible drawing)

6. Omit necessary steps of reasoning

7. Use abbreviations and technical terms that only

specialists in the field can understand8. Make it sound too serious with no significant discussion

9. Focus only on statistics

10.Support every statement with a reference
