  2. Plagiarism • Levels of plagiarism: • According to the IEEE Institute print edition, there are five levels of plagiarism: • “1. Uncredited verbatim copying of a full paper. Results in a violation notice in the later article’s bibliographic record and a suspension of the offender’s IEEE publication privileges for up to five years. • 2. Uncredited verbatim copying of a large portion (up to half) of a paper. Results in a violation notice in the later article’s bibliographic record and a suspension of publication privileges for up to five years.

  3. Plagiarism • 3. Uncredited verbatim copying of individual elements such as sentences, paragraphs, or illustrations. May result in a violation notice in the later article’s bibliographic record. In addition, a written apology must be submitted to the original creator to avoid suspension of publication privileges for up to three years. • 4. Uncredited improper paraphrasing of pages or paragraphs (by changing a few words or phrases or rearranging the original sentence order). Calls for a written apology to avoid suspension of publication privileges and a possible violation notice in the later article’s bibliographic record.

  4. Plagiarism • 5. Credited verbatim copying of a major portion of a paper without clear delineation of who did or wrote what. Requires a written apology, and to avoid suspension, the document must be corrected.

  5. Plagiarism • Actually, plagiarism appears in all countries, but it is more visible in countries: • i) with high level of corruption, where plagiarism is not punished, • ii) where only the number of papers is the measure of success, and • iii) where plagiarism is not considered a major offense.

  6. Plagiarism detection software • There are plagiarism detection software too. TurnItIn is one such type of software. • Many universities require thesis/project works to be screened with plagiarism detection software before final submission.

  7. The submission letter • A letter submitted together with the initial submission of a journal paper. • It must be written in a professional way (For example, ………).

  8. “Summary of Changes” document • A document that specifies clearly what kind of changes and corrections the authors have made according to reviewer’s suggestion. • A sample: • Dear Editor, We corrected the paper using the suggestion of the reviewers. The summary is given below: 1. In Section 7.2 (implementation), page-22, we changed ‘LED’ to ‘Light Emitting Diode’ . 2. In Section 8 (conclusion), page-30 the spelling of ‘semiconductor’ is corrected.

  9. Impact factor of a journal • The total number of articles published in 2007 and 2008 in a journal is p(2007,2008)=34+124= 158. • In 2009, there are c(2009;2007,2008)= 22+37=59 citations to items published in 2007 and 2008. • Hence, the journal’s two yearly impact factor is c(2009;2007,2008)/p(2007,2008)= 59/158= 0.373.

  10. What about fie yearly impact factor then, can you tell?

  11. When to choose conference, when to choose journal • If your paper is big and needs a lot of pages, choose journals. • For ongoing and unfinished research you may choose conferences. • Usually, the universities value journals more for promotion and funding. • However, there are some prestigious conferences such as IEEE Globecom, these are as good as any journal. • Usually, conference papers require less time for review and publication.

  12. Which journals should you choose? • There are some reputable organizations which enlist (index) journals from different fields of studies. • For example, Thomson-Reuters is one such organization, Elsevier is another one. • The journals enlisted (indexed) by Thomson-Reuters are included in Science citation index expanded (SCIE) database. • The journals having high impact factor in SCIE database are the most acceptable usually. • Some journals in SCIE may not have impact factors, but they are still very good since they are listed in SCIE.

  13. Which journals should you choose? • Elsevier is another reputable organization in publishing industry and it enlists good journals using its Scopus database. • These journals are good too, • but a few bad journals may sneak into good indexing services, though they can’t stay for long time there. • Then there are those journals published by good universities and ‘fair’ sort of publishing houses. If you can’t make your paper accepted to the previous categories, at least try with these publishers/journals.

  14. Which journals should you choose? • Finally, there are those journals which publish any article for money and give you results within 2-3 or even 1 week. YOU MUST AVOID these journals. • So, before deciding to publish your paper, go to the journal’s website and have a ‘feel’ of the quality of the journal by looking at already published articles.

  15. Finally starting out latex. • “LaTeX is a document preparation system and document markup language. It is widely used for the communication and publication of scientific documents [wikipedia]”. • I found this website really good for beginners of latex: • http://www.andy-roberts.net/writing/latex/absolute_beginners
