I don't get it; my supervisor wants to present a paper that I've basically written 100% on my own? He said that either one of us could go; why either one of us? It's my paper... : /
A part of me feels that he just wants to go to the conference to network; nothing more. Then... how about me?
I hope someone can help me : ( Am I overreacting?
One of the questions on my survey asked X (which can be important for my research), and most of the participants answered "average" - I'm a bit lost with the outcome. What can I actually say about this respond?
e.g. Do you find X difficult
90% answered average.
Hi,
I asked this particular (new) librarian and according to them, there are two ways academics measure "quality";
1. High Impact Factor
2. H-Index
As I understand it,
1. High Impact Factor:
Published by Thomson Reuters which produced the ISI Web of Knowledge DB. The DB has the Journal Citation Report (JCR); JCR will show the high impact factor result(s). According to the librarian, it calculates the overall journal impact, not the specific article(s). It's only used for journals (?). I'm not sure if it's peer reviewed.
2. H-Index:
Produced by Scopus and is peer reviewed. Use H-Index to calculate the article's quality, as well as the writer of the article (? - not sure about this one)
Both will not include areas such as religion, (specific) languages and history.
Ok, I may be wrong; could someone help me out if I did? I would like to understand them more
Do you have to follow exactly what the template or format that has been given by the conference or venue for publication? Would I be in trouble if I don't change them? If I changed it now, I would exceed the maximum given page just because of the indentation.
