Bengkel Penerbitan dan Penulisan Artikel Systematic Literature Review

I am attending a workshop conducted by Dr Wan Azani Wan Mustafa. 

He wrote 60 articles in 1 year for the past 4 years (H-Index 15). 

We should write for WoS articles with impact factors (Q1 and Q2), "Kita yang macam2-kan sendiri, target yang paling tinggi." 

There is no method or results in SLR paper. 

Research article: methods & results.

SLR can be done in a room, no need to collect data. 

Every scholar in Malaysia must own 3 accounts: Google Scholar, SCOPUS ID, Publons Web of Science ResearcherID 


Purpose of academic writing: KPIs, reward, satisfaction

If your research is not published in a journal, it does not exist. 


Mitos: 

1. Artikel panjang tak semestinya accept. Tak tengok panjang pendek. 


Mistake: 

Do not wait! Target 1000, can start to write when you have around 300 (as the first paper); 700 (can be another paper); 1000 (3rd paper). 

研究员(包括我)经常犯的错误,就是等到数据收集完结后才做分析,才发文章。整个数据收集过程可以分成最少三次发文章的机会:早期(pilot study paper)、中期(interim analysis paper)和后期(research paper)。如果想收集的数据总量是1000人,早期分析(100人)、中期分析(500人)和后期分析(1000人)都可以发一篇文章。

Every June, Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) will release a report on citation indexed.

Netherland: SCOPUS = 21 areas (40,000 journals)

US: Web of Science = 15,000 journals in SCOPUS 

Q in SCOPUS is not same Q in ISI 

Quartile is based on impact factor, i.e. no impact factor, no Q.  

Q1 or Q2 in Web of Science ISI are the highest in the world. 

SCOPUS adalah badan indexing. 21 criteria must be fulfilled to be indexed by SCOPUS. 

SCOPUS keluarkan listing 3 kali setahun, boleh download di website SCOPUS. March

Must check with SCOPUS listing before submission. 


SCOPUS 

- Life sciences

- Health

- Physical science 

- Social science 

Not all WoS are ISI

Bukan semua WoS ada impact factor: 

- Only SCI expanded and SSCI are indexed with impact factor. 


Comments paper = 2 pages 


40 - 50 references for Research Article  


Review article

Comprehensive / critical review on specific research topic

Typically 15+ pages (not more than 20 pages), 5+ figures (copy from reviewed papers with full citation), table of summary and 70 - 200 references. 

Tak baca, tak download pun.

How to boost SCOPUS H-Index?

 I was asked to boost my SCOPUS H-Index, from current 7 to 10 by 31 Aug 2022. H-Index 10 means I would need to have 10 SCOPUS indexed publication with 10 citation. In this sense Herewith the strategies and tactics to achieve the target: 

Passive approach 

1. Upload my publications in ResearchGate

2. Encourage past, current and future co-authors to cite those articles in their papers.

Active approach

1. Write reflection, concept or LR papers myself that would cite those papers.

- One article on Object-Oriented Programming 

- One article on STEM education

- One article on the potential of GBL

- One article on gamification

- One article on educational technology

2. Work with current and past postgraduate students to write conference papers and journal articles 

- Revisit completed postgraduate research, preliminary studies or pilot studies

- Write concept papers based on the proposed model, provisional framework, guiding principles to be tested in doctoral research proposal  

- Write scoping LR and/or systematic LR done for the proposed research topic and scope 

3. Work with current and future colleagues to write conference papers and journal articles
