Thanks for your videos Karen. Love this idea about shearing information that is very usefull and not easy to find for free. Your work is very inspiring for me and it gives to me lots of ideas to share science through social media, one of my personal projects as a scientist who lives as a bikepacker.

Great video as usual Karen! I'm writing my thesis so this video is super helpful. I've also greatly benefited from your how to write a discussion video. Thank you very much! A question if I may. I found that after reading my writing for a couple of times, I cannot read it critically any more. How do you overcome that? I know one way is to put the writing aside for a while, but this isn't always an option when there are tight deadlines. Much appreciated! Thanks again!
@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK4 жыл бұрын
If you cannot set aside your writing for a few days, one option is to read it out loud. Sometimes this helps identify awkward or ambiguous phrasing. You might also read each sentence starting at the end of the writing and working backwards to the beginning--good for spotting punctuation and grammatical errors. If you did not start with an outline, outlining your thesis (or chapter) at this point may identify problems with logic or balance. Good luck!

@@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK Thank you. How can I understand, in which impactor factor journal, my paper will be published?
@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK4 жыл бұрын
I think you are asking how to select a journal, taking into consideration the journal's impact factor. The short answer is that there are several factors you should consider. Here are some steps to take: 1) compile a list of journals that are appropriate for the topic of your paper (look at your literature cited and where those papers were published for candidates), 2) double-check the aims and scope of each journal to make sure your paper fits, 3) avoid predatory journals by checking that each one is indexed by a reputable platform such as Web of Science, 4) ensure that you can meet the journal's requirements (page charges, for example), and 5) consider the impact factor of each journal and decide what your chances are. Point #5 is the difficult step. Picking the journal with the highest impact factor is not always a good idea or even necessary to get your paper noticed (One of my most highly cited papers was published in a journal with a modest impact factor). You must honestly assess the quality of your paper and the importance of your findings in relation to the papers published in each journal. You can also ask a professor or a colleague to read your paper and give their opinion. Sometimes it's better to pick a lower-impact, specialty journal with a readership that is likely to be interested in your paper. Choosing the right journal is not an easy process; sometimes you'll make a mistake, and your paper gets rejected. If so, reassess your choices and resubmit.
