The essentials of a young scientist

Writing and preparing a scientific paper

In the first stage of working on the text of a scientific paper, it is necessary to collect and organize the literature that will be referred to during the writing of the paper. Below we recommend sources of scientific articles and tools that will help to make an inventory of the literature used in the work, i.e. a bibliography:

https://scholar.google.pl/
https://doaj.org/
https://arxiv.org/
http://cds.cern.ch/
http://baztech.icm.edu.pl/index.php/pl/
https://depot.ceon.pl/

Wikipedia is not a scientific source.

BIBLIOGRAPHY MANAGERS

Once you have collected the necessary materials and started writing your paper, it is worth equipping yourself with a program that will help you manage your sources, i.e. prepare footnotes and an appendix bibliography according to the chosen format, such as:

APA

Mendeley's installation and features are described here: https://repin.pjwstk.edu.pl/files/Mendeley.pdf

Formatting the publication

Each scientific journal or conference has its own strict rules for text formatting, and they are available on the websites of individual publishers.

Affiliation of work

Affiliation is the designation of the academic unit as the place where the research is carried out, the results of which are described in the publication.
A correct affiliation includes first the name of the institution, then the name of the department.
In the case of PJATK University, it should read as follows:
Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology, Department of ...
Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology, Department of ...

Publication and dissemination

The next step is to send the finished text of the scientific paper, to a pre-selected journal or conference. Choosing the right journal or conference is very important, as it affects the evaluation of the author's scientific achievements and the scientific unit with which he is affiliated.
The list of scored journals, scientific publications and conferences is available on the website of the Ministry of Education and Science.

ResearcherID - citation and Hirsch index

ResearcherID is a tool with which you can easily monitor the number of citations of your papers and the Hirsch index. All this is possible after creating and profiling an account in ResearcherID.
In addition, ResearcherID is integrated with the Web of Science database (both products belong to Clarivate Analytics), which is the reference database for ministerial reports.

Hirsch index

This is a measure showing the importance of all the author's publications, characterizing his total scientific output. It is calculated on the basis of the number of citations of the author's works.
Co-authorship with scientists from foreign research centers has a direct impact on the increase in the number of citations and the Hirsch index.

Impact Factor

The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) index determines the citability of journals. JIF is calculated for journals that are indexed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database. The JCR database includes journals indexed in two Web of Science Core Collection databases - Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index. The index is calculated by determining the average number of citations received in a given year for publications from the previous two years, divided by the number of papers indexed for the same 2-year period.

SCOPUS

Scopus database indexes scientific publications and presents statistics and analysis of the scientific output of the author, institution.
