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".

Monograph in Scopus

Scopus is an interdisciplinary database provided by the world's leading publisher Elsevier. It includes millions of publications from various scientific fields, including medicine, engineering, earth sciences, social sciences and others. Scopus is an important tool for researchers, students and scientific organisations worldwide due to its wide coverage and high quality content.

One of the key features of Scopus is its powerful indexing system, which allows researchers to assess the impact and citability of their publications. Scopus provides information on the number of citations of articles, authors and journals, which helps researchers assess the importance and impact of their work in the scientific community. Scopus also provides data on the Hirsch Index and other indicators to help researchers assess their research productivity and reputation.

Indexing a monograph in Scopus offers significant benefits and opportunities for authors seeking to expand their scholarly impact and increase the visibility of their research. Here are some of the main benefits that authors can gain from indexing their monograph in Scopus:

International recognition and prestige: Scopus is a globally recognised and respected academic index. When your monograph is indexed in Scopus, it gains significant recognition from the academic community. This raises your academic profile and helps you establish yourself as an expert in your field of research.

Broad reach: Scopus provides access to a huge audience of researchers, academics and professionals from around the world. Your monograph becomes accessible to a wide global audience, which increases its visibility and increases opportunities for your work to be cited and discussed.

Academic citations. Like publishing an academic article, indexing a monograph in Scopus allows you to track the citations of your work by other researchers. This helps you assess the influence and importance of your monograph in the research community and how your work contributes to the advancement of research in your field.

Improved visibility and promotion: Being indexed in Scopus makes your monograph more visible to the academic community. Monographs indexed in Scopus can be easily located and researched by other researchers, increasing the visibility and impact of your research.

Opportunities for collaboration: Scopus also provides opportunities for communication and collaboration with other researchers and authors. By indexing your monograph in Scopus you are able to increase the visibility of your work and attract potential collaborators for joint research projects and exchange of ideas.

Having your monograph indexed in Scopus opens doors to the global research community and helps you advance your academic career. It helps establish you as a recognised expert and increases your reputation in academia. If you want to raise your profile and gain international recognition, indexing your monograph in Scopus is an excellent choice for you.

Your monograph represents your personal work, filled with in-depth research, ground-breaking ideas and unique conclusions. Now you can uncover your research and reach new heights by publishing your monograph in Scientific Route OÜ.
