How Do Scientific Journals Work? | Secrets Revealed!

Описание: Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/r3ciprocity

Scientific journals work on a system of creditability and reputation.

The basic premise is that scientists are skeptical. They distrust what others have done.

As an author, you submit your work to a scientific journal, and 1 editor and 2-3 reviewers will read and critique your work.

The editor can ‘desk reject’ your work, which means they read it and doubt it on face-value.

Once you get reviews back, you you then have to respond and make corrections to your work.
This will iterate until the paper gets accepted or rejected.

How do scientific journals pick editors? This is based on a system of reputation in science. A reputation for high-quality work, and a reputation for fairness.

How do scientific journals make money? Much of the money that gets earned is through selling the journal subscriptions to libraries. The larger and more important the journal the more likely that every library is going to have it. This model will likely change in the future.

Should all scientific journals be trusted? Generally, it varies, and some of them can be very easy to publish in. However, if they are highly regarded, then yes, it is based on the based availability of science.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
