  1. Crimea 2014 - Konek DayFrom reading to writing - how to be noticed in the world of scientific publishing'

  2. Outline • World of Research: what are the driversand trends from global perspective • How to be noticed in the world of scientific publishing: using the trends to your benefit • Publishing with BMJ

  3. Research is pivotal to economic growth and addressing societal challenges • Science is not a luxury which is the preserve of developed countries... Technology and innovation are key to achieving long-term economic and social development. • Science and innovation are recognised the world over as crucial to economic competitiveness.” • The Royal Society: Knowledge, Networks and Nations, 2011

  4. The world of research is large and growing Global R&D spending: $1.2 trillion in 2010 Spending on R&D – OECD countries* Indexed values; 100 = Spend in 1981 Annual growth: +4% (real) * $PPP, 2000 constant currencies Source: OECD, Battelle

  5. R&D spending as % of GDP has been relatively stable in developed markets, and is increasing in developing ones GERD as % of GDP – Developed Markets Gross Expenditure on R&D (GERD) as % of GDP - Total GERD as % of GDP – Developing Markets Source: OECD Developed markets include US, Japan, and EU27 Developing markets include China and S. Korea

  6. Governments protecting R&D funding

  7. Growth in R&D spending drives number of researchers and research activity Number of researchers – OECD countries Indexed values; 100 = Number of researchers in 1981 Number of research articles published Indexed values; 100 = Number of articles in 1981 Annual growth: +4% Annual growth: +4% Annual growth: +3-4% Global number of researchers: 7 million in 2010 Number of research articles: >1.5 million in 2010 Source: OECD; ISI; Scopus

  10. How to be noticed in the world of scientific publishing ? • Research publishing circle • Interdisciplinarity • International collaboration • Emerging markets • Data intensity • Role of publishers

  11. From reading to writing – research publishing circle Input (Usage) Direct Outcomes Read Get Cited Usage (FTA) / Cited references Cite Usage (FTA) / # of times cited Get Read 11 Publish Output Articles / Dissertations / Patents / Reports

  12. Four trends continue to increase the value of research information 1. Interdisciplinarity Science is becoming more global and more complex 4. Data intensity 2. Collaboration & Mobility 3. EmergingMarkets

  13. Trend 1: Research is increasingly interdisciplinary • Interdisciplinarity: • Increases output • Increases quality • Stimulates big discoveries • Global research is becoming more and more interdesciplinary • Modern technologies are cross disciplinary • Books are usually more interdisciplinary than journals • Research analytical tools on the market trace interdisciplinary research fields for institutions and countries • Interdisciplinary research attracts more funding • Articles resulting from interdisciplinary research receive more citations

  14. Trend 2: Research is increasingly internationallycollaborative Percentage of internationally co-authored articles increased from 26% in 1996 over 40% in 2013. “Collaboration enhances the quality of research, improves its efficiency and effectiveness, and is increasingly necessary as the scale of budgets and research challenges grow” - The Royal Society, 2011 Share of internationally co-authored articles • International collaboration drives: • Quality via increased number of citations • Subsequent growth of international visibility Source: BIS - International Comparative Performance of the UK Research Base 2011

  15. Trend 3: Emerging markets are rapidly growing their research activity • Drivers • Developed economiesneed to use research results and collaborate • Russiangrowth rate was positive over the last 5 years, but publication share has declined Source: BIS - International Comparative Performance of the UK Research Base 2011

  16. Trend 4: Research is increasingly data intensive Very high importance, very high satisfaction According to the study researchers value research articles and experimental data as very important. However they would like to have access to experimental data as easily as to articles. Ease of access High importance, low satisfaction Importance of access Source: Publisher Research Council – Global Access vs. Importance Study (3,823 researcher respondents)

  17. Great scientific publishing worldSTM publishersregister, review, disseminateand preserve research outputs • Each year • 3 million articles submitted • 300,000 peer reviewers • 1.5 million articles published • 30 million readers • 2 billion digital article downloads • 30 million article citations

  18. How to be noticed in the world of scientific publishing ? • Research publishing circle: read more, write better! • Interdisciplinarity: think broader! • International collaboration: stay open! • Emerging markets: don’t miss the rising stars! • Data intensity: look for reliable data sources! • Role of publishers: keep on submitting!

  19. Publishing with BMJ choosing a journal responding to reviewers appealing reporting research writing papers publication ethics

  20. How to choose a journal: what to consider journal scope, reach, & readers indexed, peer reviewed Impact Factor ** open access or not? and... rejection rate time to decision; time to publication article length restrictions charges: OA publication fees, pages, colour ** Impact factor is used as a measure of the academic usefulness of a journal IF = recorded number of citations in a year (eg 2010) to scholarly articles in the journal in preceding two years (eg 2008 and 2009) BMJ 2012 IF 17.2

  21. Pre-submission inquiries Always consider inquiring when you’re: unsure about suitability for the journal seeking rapid review/publication wanting to explain special circumstances Provide sufficient study information: article abstract perceived value to journal audience relationship of study to existing body of work

  22. What does The BMJ prioritise? Original, robust research studies that can improve Doctors’ decision making in medical practice, policy, education, or future research and will be important to general medical readers internationally The BMJ’s purpose: “Answering questions; questioning answers”

  23. The BMJ’s peer review process Research submitted External review Editorial meeting Screen Accept Up to 4000 annually 3000 rejected 1000 for open review 500 then rejected 500 with Editor and adviser, statistician, BMJ team 4-7% with Open access No word limits BMJ pico Editorials

  24. (Very) open peer review, at BMJ Open Peer reviewers’ signed comments and authors’ responses available for all published papers

  25. Be confident at resubmission Most reviewers & editors want to be helpful Follow journal instructions Address all comments; but need not agree with all Avoid easy fixes/shortcuts If rejected; tell next journal how you addressed reviewers’ comments

  26. Authors’ submission toolkit CMRO Aug 2010;26;8:1967-82 http://www.mpip-initiative.org/uploads/pdf/authorstoolkitPDF.pdf

  27. Misconduct Fabrication:making up data or results and recording or reporting themFalsification:manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research recordPlagiarism:the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit US Office of Research Integrity http://ori.dhhs.gov/misconduct/definition_misconduct.shtml

  28. Incomplete reporting is misconduct: The BMJ requires authors’ declaration Transparency declaration The lead author* affirms that this manuscript is an honest, accurate, and transparent account of the study being reported; that no important aspects of the study have been omitted; and that any discrepancies from the study as planned (and, if relevant, registered) have been explained. *The manuscript’s guarantor.

  29. Plagiarism detection software: used by many journals

  30. Committee on Publication Ethics: advises editors of >5000 journals http://publicationethics.org/

  31. Nobody said it’s going to be easy!
