“Predatory” vs trustworthy journals: What do they mean for the integrity of science?
Manuscript rejected? Five insider tips to see you to success
The path to publication often comes with challenges, and one of the most common is receiving the “We regret to inform you” email. Every year, millions of researchers encounter rejection during the publication process. Luckily, there’s plenty of support on offer to see you through to success. If your manuscript has been rejected, the recent Researcher Academy webinar “Rejected manuscripts: Next steps and finding the right fit” will be a useful resource. In the one-hour session, Drs.
Location, location, location - where to get published
You’ve probably spent quite a bit of time on your latest research project and there’s still the daunting prospect of the submission and peer review process yet to come. Before wrestling with referee reports, revisions, and proofs, however, there’s an all-important question to be answered: where do you want to get published? Finding the right home for your paper Well known in the parlance of (real) estate agents, the issue of location is a tremendously important consideration.
CRediT where credit's due
In a landscape of increasingly collaborative research and multi-authorship, standard author lists at the top of an article don’t always adequately convey the diverse contributions of different individuals. When trying to secure funding or move up the career ladder, being listed as an “author” might not go far enough to provide the deserved or required recognition for one’s work. That’s where “Contributor Roles Taxonomy” (CRediT) comes in.

The case for consent: a primer on patient privacy and informed consent
Isn’t it handy – and astounding – how the image software on one’s ‘phone can connect photographs of loved ones through the years as they grow and change? But what happens when those connections are made online and an old photograph you would rather forget is connected to your current persona? In the era of social media, facial recognition, and increasingly sophisticated software, privacy is an illusion.

Happily, we just took another step forward with this by enabling our authors to log in with their ORCID-identifier. Why ORCID?

A helping hand with your open access journey
As an author, chances are you’re going to publish open access (OA) at some point soon, if you’ve not already done so. The OA publication journey can be a complicated one, however. There are many aspects to consider and not all of them are under your control, especially if your research is supported by a funding body or by your institution which mandates OA – or if your publication is subject to other requirements.

Picture this: a stimulating way of opening up your research to new audiences
As with many things in life, the process of submitting and publishing an article can seem like climbing a multi-levelled hill (or mountain in some cases!). Producing a draft gets you to one level; navigating the submission process is another uphill slog. Climbing and conquering the heights of peer review, revision and finally, with luck, acceptance requires a host of patience and a mastery of different techniques.
The importance of remaining accountable
The way that research is communicated has undergone radical change; we’ve seen the shift from print to digital, new article types and journal forms have emerged, and technology has transformed how we consume information. But some publishing conventions continue uninterrupted; for example, ensuring each journal article has a corresponding author (CA) assigned.

Why systematic reviews matter
This article was written as part of the Cochrane International Mobility Programme. Introduction The vast scale of scholarly literature occasions various problems. One is how to comprehensively record and assess the state of knowledge on a particular topic. A potent means of doing so is that of systematic reviews.
Helping you towards the right choice for your next paper
The decision of where to submit your paper is a crucial one and at Elsevier, we know just how important it is to find the right home for your research. In 2013 we launched a tool for our authors to help them home in on the journal that would best suit their paper: JournalFinder. Powered by an advanced algorithm that identifies key words and their mutual patterns and structures, the so-called “fingerprint technology”, we created a platform that was more than just a search engine.
Lifting the lid on preprints: part two
As an academic author, what is important to know about preprints? We have asked two experts to shed some light on the topic: Gregory J. Gordon, President and CEO of the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), which joined Elsevier in 2016, and Courtney K. Soderberg, statistician at the Center for Open Science (COS) in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Lifting the lid on preprints: part one
More and more authors are using preprint servers to get their research out quicker and to solicit feedback on their paper prior to sending it to a peer-reviewed journal. While submitting preprints has been common practice for physicists for decades, it is only in the last couple of years that it has become more widely adopted in other areas such as the life sciences.
So, E(x)POSE! - seven strategies for researchers to sell science and create a personal brand
With societal impact being one of the goals of research, asking researchers to create a brand for themselves might sound counter-intuitive. However, to create societal impact, researchers have to highlight not just their research, but also themselves. One of the benefits of doing so is to increase the visibility of the research in order to reach a wider audience. Creating your own brand as a researcher is not a one-day journey, however.
How two insure your on track four publication: the importance of good manuscript language
Verbum sapienti sat est A word, as noted in the above dictum, is sufficient to a wise person (whether it be in Latin or any other tongue). If you noticed any peculiarities with the title of this article, however, you’ll have understood that the choice of word(s) is crucial – it can help fashion a cogent, well respected argument or doom something otherwise good to fail pathetically.

Eight top tips to help you turn your PhD thesis into an article
Many first-time authors use the research conducted as part of their PhD or even Master’s thesis as a basis for a journal article. While that’s a logical step, the requirements for a thesis differ from those of a paper in a peer reviewed academic journal in very significant ways. Ensuring that you are familiar with these can prove the difference between acceptance and rejection… Elsevier’s Researcher Academy recently hosted a live webinar on turning your PhD thesis into an article.
Why science needs to publish negative results
Emma Granqvist, a journal Publisher for Elsevier’s plant sciences, is behind the recent launch of the open access journal New Negatives in Plant Science, a platform for negative, unexpected or controversial results in the field. The journal is viewed as a pilot and may lead to New Negatives in… titles for other research disciplines. In this article, Granqvist explains why she believes scientists should move away from positive bias to ensure all research results are shared through peer review.
Encouraging and supporting researchers to share research data
A vast amount of data makes its way into scientific literature each year, either in the form of tables, graphs and supplementary material, or simply embedded within the text of an article. Sharing research data is key to making scientific findings reproducible and enabling fellow scientists to build upon these findings. However, there are challenges around ensuring that data is accessible and shareable.
