The firt steps of your scientific life
• Do research with extreme enthusiasm at any time!
Never give up!
• Create clear and realistic goals for short and long terms.
• Be professional in your scientific field but also in your career building as well!
You can be a genius but it is not enough! Be a good team player, good working partner, etc.

You cannot avoid social networks…
• Social Network Sites– for Researchers (PhD students as well)
• www.academia.edu• www.researchgate.net• www.mendeley.com
– for Professionals (or Business): • www.linkedin.com
• Do not forget that networking is a key factor for yourprofessional success!
• Social network sites can also bring jobs to you!

Be always visible!
• Create a website:– about you
or – about your working group/laboratory!
• Present your scientific and professional achievement!
• Keep it up to date at all times!
• Examples:– Dept. website– www.traffic.bme.hu

Researcher websites for publication databaseand citation metrics
• Researcher IDs are important to solve the author ambiguity problem within the research community:– http://orcid.org
– www.researcherid.com
– Scopus Author ID
– Google Scholar ID (!)
• MTMT (acronym for The Hungarian Scientific Bibliography)
• Interestingly: Google Scholar is somehow the best site for citation metrics!

How to start your research?
• Do not waste your time for already existing solutions!
• Keeping pace with up-to-date scientific results of your field!
• Search for publications!
Look for the state-of-the-art research!

How to read through a scientific paper?
• Read first: – Abstract, – Introduction, – and Conclusions! It helps to understand the main goals and results of a paper.
• Introduction is extremely important:– It always contains some literature review… citations in the Introductions will open further doors for your research
• An example: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0968090X15003447

How to choose a journal for publication?
• Impact Factor (IF) is one of the most popular metrics published by Clarivate Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters)
• IF of an academic journal is a measure to reflect the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal.
• Calculated yearly .
• If you publish in a journal with IF, you merit the IF of the year of publishing.

IF by Web of Science – Citation Reports
• Web of Science: www.webofknowledge.com/
• Go to Journal Citation Reports!

How IF is calculated?
14 March 2019 Research Techniques 11
![Page 12: Research Techniques - Budapest University of Technology ... · Research Techniques for BME PhD students Tamás Tettamanti, PhD Department of Control for Transport and Vehicle Systems](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042807/5f795492c3d7fa3db460c603/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IF and Quartiles in a given category of journals Journal Citation Reports
14 March 2019 Research Techniques 12
For IF calculation, ClarivityAnalytics only consider the journals which already have IF!
![Page 13: Research Techniques - Budapest University of Technology ... · Research Techniques for BME PhD students Tamás Tettamanti, PhD Department of Control for Transport and Vehicle Systems](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042807/5f795492c3d7fa3db460c603/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
https://www.scopus.com/sources.uri?zone=TopNavBar&origin=searchbasic
• CiteScore is publicly available and calculated the same way as the Impact Factor.
• At the same time, not only the journals with IF are considered!
• Note that to gain IF for a specific journal:
– the journal must apply to get listed in Web of Science and
– after several years of indexing it might get an impact factor.
• For example: https://www.scopus.com/sources?sortField=&sortDirection=&isHiddenField=&field=idTitle&idTitle=&idTitle=Periodica+Polytechnica+Transportation+Engineering%2316884
14 March 2019 Research Techniques 13
Beside IF, also consider CiteScore of Scopus!
![Page 14: Research Techniques - Budapest University of Technology ... · Research Techniques for BME PhD students Tamás Tettamanti, PhD Department of Control for Transport and Vehicle Systems](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042807/5f795492c3d7fa3db460c603/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
www.scimagojr.com
• SJR is publicly available that includes the scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus® database.
• SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both:
1) the number of citations received by a journal and
2) the prestige of the journals where such citations come from!
• For example: www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=16884&tip=sid&clean=0
• The journals are divided according to their SJR into four quartiles (groups):
– Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values,
– Q2 (yellow) the second highest values,
– Q3 (orange) the third highest values ,
– and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

You can also consider SJR (SCImago Journal Rank)!

• One of the most important goal of your paper should be the expectable citations to it in the future!...
• Therefore, it is worth publishing in Open Access journals (even if it is not IF journal)!
• Take care with unknown journals which promise high IF fake and fraudulent journals exist also…An example: http://www.ijmra.us/
• Always check the editorial board and archive articles of the targeted journal… An example: http://www.ierjournal.org/pupload/vol2iss8/INDOOR%20WIRELESS%20TRACKING%20USING%20WIFI.pdf

Some tips for journal choice
![Page 22: Research Techniques - Budapest University of Technology ... · Research Techniques for BME PhD students Tamás Tettamanti, PhD Department of Control for Transport and Vehicle Systems](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042807/5f795492c3d7fa3db460c603/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
After submitting the paper…

The peer review process for submitted papers
• Peer review helps to control the quality of individual articles before publishing in the journal.
• The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society was the first journal who formalized the peer review process.
• Peer review is still the only widely accepted method for research validation.

![Page 24: Research Techniques - Budapest University of Technology ... · Research Techniques for BME PhD students Tamás Tettamanti, PhD Department of Control for Transport and Vehicle Systems](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042807/5f795492c3d7fa3db460c603/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The peer review process is hard and long…
• Authors need patience and endurance during the review process.
• Generally, authors are asked for corrections and resubmission for several times before acceptance!

Main conclusion on impact factor journal publication process
• Very long: min. 1-1,5 years considering the publishing date
• The reviewers might be harsh but generally:– they really help you with their criticism and – they will finally improve the quality of your paper
• The main problem was always the lack of clear and concise wording of the novelty of the paper.

2nd Homework• Do not forget that the final goal is to write a scientific paper in your own research field in LaTeX.
• Prepare the structure of your own paper!
• To do this it is also suggested that you consult with your supervisor! So she/he can help you restructure the draft more efficiently, in accordance with your research.
• An example for it:
– Authors: XY, … (Reasonably, your supervisor should be your co-author!)
– Title: The two-level control of autonomous intersections
– Abstract (5-10 sentences): The paper’s aim is to propose a control design methodology for autonomous vehicles in urban traffic
network by considering the network-wide performance. The proposed two-level control strategy solves a …etc.
– Section titles:
1. Introduction
2. Model (2.1 Junction model, 2.2. network model)
3. The proposed control (3.1 Low level control, 3.2. Macroscopic level control)
4. Simulation study and evaluation
5. Conclusion
