RESEARCH ARTICLES

Original research articles-result of a planned original work-emphasize all the aspects-in a particular structure

Short communications/ short notes-findings in only some parameters -for rapid communication-important findings, i.e. results

Brief, to the point and/or repeatable or replicable Describe own research finding and may compare with othersIntended for scientific community or target groupsFixed structure of article, e.g. abstracts, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, referencesAcknowledgement, conflict of interest, contribution of individual authors

Usually contain: ◦ A summary or “abstract” ◦ Key words◦ Description of the research methodologies adopted results generated significance of the results

◦ References cited Research articles are not good places to find:

◦ basic summaries ◦ general introductions to a topic

Article:◦ The most recent, cutting edge research◦ Authoritative information about older research

Abstract◦ Clear picture of the article in a concise manner◦ About 200-250 words◦ Usually in one paragraph◦ Attractively represents all the information

Extended abstract◦ Abstract having subheadings and tables, graphs, figures

also. About 600-800 words

Mini-abstract◦ Represents a clear picture of an extended abstract in a

concise manner.◦ 50-100 words.

REVIEW ARTICLE

Guidelines on authorshop, International committee of Medical Journal Editors,

Reprinted by kind permission of the Editor of the British Medical Journal of Sept

14, 1985. J Clin Pathol 39: 110, 1986

Definition: “A conflict of interest is a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgment or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest.”

Occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation for an act in the other. ◦ i.e. Any undue funding grant or financial gain or promotion that may bias the

research

Primary interest: principal goals of the profession or activity e.g.

Integrity of research

Compliance to Ethical norms in research

Rationale for animal/human experimentation

Secondary interest: Financial gain and motives

Desire for professional advancement

Wish to do favors for family and friends

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Financial or personal relationship that inappropriately influence the actions of an author, reviewer, or editor

Also known as Dual commitments/competing interests/competing loyalties

Authors should disclose their conflict of interest Financial relationships such as employment, consultancy,

stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony

Personal relationship

Academic competition

Intellectual passion

Must be included in acknowledgment

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL PERSONALPREJUDICE

Latin word “plagiarius”: literally kidnapper

“Wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work

Use of a writer's ideas or phraseology without giving due credit

Not a crime per se but is disapproved more on the grounds of moral offence, and cases of plagiarism can involve liability for copyright infringement.

By failing to include quotations orgive the appropriate citation

Self-plagiarism

Impact Factor ◦ Thomson Reuters

Eigenfactor Score◦ University of Washington

Page Rank Algorithm◦ Google

NAAS rating◦ National Academy of Agricultural Sciences

A measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in science and social science journals

Devised by Eugene Garfield:◦ founder of Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now

part of Thomson Reuters

Calculated after all the publications of previous year have been processed by the indexing agency

2011 impact factors are actually published in 2012

IF of a journal is the avg. citations received per paper published in that journal during the two preceding years

e.g. if a journal has an IF 3 in 2011, then its papers published in 2010 and 2009 received 3 citations each on avg. in 2011

A = the no. of times articles published in 2009 and 2010 were cited by indexed journals during 2011.

B = the total number of "citable items" published by that journal in 2009 and 2010.

("Citable items" are usually articles, reviews, proceedings, or notes; not editorials or letters-to-the-editor)

2011 impact factor = A/B

Hirsch index or Hirsch number

◦ Jorge E. Hirsch

◦ Measures productivity & impact of published work of a scientist

or scholar

e.g. A scientist has index h if h of his/her papers have at

least h citations each

i-10 index:

Google citations

Immediacy Index :

◦ average number of times published papers are cited

during year of publication

National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS)

Objectives: to bring uniformity in the evaluation of

publications Assessment of research achievements Avoids arbitrariness in assessment

Category I: Where IF is available, 6.0 and 10.0

Category II: Non IF journals, on the basis of a proforma

Previously , scale of 4 was used till 2007 Now, a scale of 10 used: 1988 Journals (2012 list)

Instruction to authors

Write in simple and clear, but lucid manner

Keep words flowing

A reader should never have to read a sentence twice to understand its meaning

Don't rely on the spell checker only

Ask yourself◦ What I am trying to say?

◦ What words will express it?

◦ Could I put it more briefly?

Use words carefully & precisely

Active voice, better

Print the draft, correct after reading it aloud, print

Punctuations, awkward sentences, unnecessary words, look of document
