Chemistry journals take just under 3 years to retract papers with self-plagiarism

The study was published by Accountability in Research earlier this month. It found that biological science journals took the longest time to retract papers with self-plagiarism, 3.8 years, while math and physics titles took the shortest time, 1.8 years. But when it comes to plagiarism of work by others, chemistry journals were the quickest to retract papers when compared to publications from other disciplines studied. The study pointed to a median retraction time of around 1.1 years.

Paper retracted after author told journal study was "not actually performed"

Nearly 20 years after the publication of a paper on phytoestrogens in postmenopausal women, one of the authors said the study had never been performed, according to a recently published retraction notice. Ben Mol and his colleagues initially discovered data similarities between the recently-retracted study and another by the same group. The two papers that seem to share data appeared in Fertility and Sterility, an Elsevier publication, in 2004 and 2006. Table 1 of the 2006 paper"Psychological assessment of the effects of treatment with phytoestrogens on postmenopausal women: a randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled study"was identical to Table 1 of the 2004 article"Endometrial effects of long-term treatment with phytoestrogens: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study".

Submitting a manuscript for indexing a monograph in Scopus

Researchers strive to get their research published and recognised by the scientific community, and one of the key factors for achieving this is the indexing of the monograph in Scopus. Scopus indexing is important for the scientific community because it is an indicator of the scientific relevance and quality of the research conducted.

However, the indexing in Scopus is not only of scientific importance, but also affects the position of a scientist in scientific and university rankings. The availability of publications in Scopus is taken into account in the evaluation and ranking of academic institutions and professionals. This is important for career development and for obtaining financial support for further research.
In order to publish and index their monograph in Scopus, a scientist need only submit a manuscript to Scientific Route OÜ. After going through the review and editing process, the manuscript will be turned into a quality monograph, which will be published and submitted for indexing in Scopus.
Successful submission of a manuscript and indexing of a monograph in Scopus depends on several factors. First of all, it is important to maintain high standards of scientific research and prepare a monograph that meets the requirements of the publisher. It is also advisable to conduct a preliminary analysis of the research published by Scientific Route OÜ to ensure that your work and aims are in line with the publisher's main directions and topics.
Submitting a manuscript to Scientific Route OÜ and indexing the monograph in Scopus are important for a scientist who is seeking to disseminate his or her research and gain recognition in the scientific community. These steps enable scientists to expand their audience, enhance their reputation and the scientific relevance of their research, and improve their chances of receiving further scientific support and advancing their career.
