Crimea 2014 - Konek Day From reading to writing - how to be noticed in the world of scientific publishing' Outline • World of Research: what are the drivers and trends from global perspective • How to be noticed in the world of scientific publishing: using the trends to your benefit • Publishing with BMJ 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 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 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 3.0 Gross Expenditure on R&D (GERD) as % of GDP - Total 2.5 2.0 1.5 3.0 1.0 2.5 0.5 0.0 2000 2.0 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 1.5 GERD as % of GDP – Developing Markets 1.0 0.5 3.0 0.0 2000 2.5 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 Source: OECD Developed markets include US, Japan, and EU27 Developing markets include China and S.

Interdisciplinarity 4. Data intensity Science is becoming more global and more complex 3. Emerging Markets 2. Collaboration & Mobility Trend 1: Research is increasingly interdisciplinary 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 Interdisciplinarity: • Increases output • Increases quality • Stimulates big discoveries Trend 2: Research is increasingly internationally collaborative Percentage of internationally co-authored articles increased from 26% in 1996 over 40% in 2013. Share of internationally co-authored articles “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 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 Trend 3: Emerging markets are rapidly growing their research activity Drivers • Developed economies need to use research results and collaborate • Russian growth rate was positive over the last 5 years, but publication share has declined Source: BIS - International Comparative Performance of the UK Research Base 2011 Trend 4: Research is increasingly data intensive 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 Very high importance, very high satisfaction High importance, low satisfaction Importance of access Source: Publisher Research Council – Global Access vs. Importance Study (3,823 researcher respondents) Great scientific publishing world STM publishers register, review, disseminate and 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 How to be noticed in the world of scientific publishing ? • • • • • • Research publishing circle: Interdisciplinarity: International collaboration: Emerging markets: Data intensity: Role of publishers: read more, write better! think broader! stay open! don’t miss the rising stars! look for reliable data sources! keep on submitting! Publishing with BMJ • choosing a journal • responding to reviewers • appealing • reporting research • writing papers • publication ethics 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 ** 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 • article length restrictions • charges: OA publication fees, pages, colour 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 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” The BMJ’s peer review process Research submitted Up to 4000 annually Screen 3000 rejected External review 1000 for open review 500 then rejected Editorial meeting 500 with Editor and adviser, statistician, BMJ team Accept 4-7% with Open access No word limits BMJ pico Editorials (Very) open peer review, at BMJ Open Peer reviewers’ signed comments and authors’ responses available for all published papers 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 Authors’ submission toolkit CMRO Aug 2010;26;8:1967-82 http://www.mpip-initiative.org/uploads/pdf/authorstoolkitPDF.pdf Misconduct Fabrication: making up data or results and recording or reporting them Falsification: manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record Plagiarism: 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 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.
