Publishing the product of scientific work is an art and a necessity. If the results of the research are not reported through publication in a scientific journal, researchers miss the opportunity for their work to be known. Preparation of the manuscript is a challenge, particularly for researchers who begin their experience in scientific publication. Each journal has its publication standards available to authors; however, most biomedical publications follow the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. This document describes the importance of the research process, each of its parts and the different types of scientific documents, but focuses on the description of original articles, highlighting practical recommendations for their proper realization, and presents the most frequent errors observed with the intention of guiding novice researchers throughout the process. Keywords: Scientific paper, Medical publication, Research, recommendations to publish, Original articles.

AbstractWhile much of the scholarly work on ethics relating to academic authorship examines the fair distribution of authorship credit, none has yet examined situations where a researcher contributes significantly to the project, but whose contributions do not make it into the final manuscript. Such a scenario is commonplace in collaborative research settings in many disciplines and may occur for a number of reasons, such as excluding research in order to provide the paper with a clearer focus, tell a particular story, or exclude negative results that do not fit the hypothesis. Our concern in this paper is less about the reasons for including or excluding data from a paper and more about distributing credit in this type of scenario. In particular, we argue that the notion ‘substantial contribution’, which is part of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship criteria, is ambiguous and that we should ask whether it concerns what ends up in the paper or what is a substantial contribution to the research process leading up to the paper. We then argue, based on the principles of fairness, due credit, and ensuring transparency and accountability in research, that the latter interpretation is more plausible from a research ethics point of view. We conclude that the ICMJE and other organizations interested in authorship and publication ethics should consider including guidance on authorship attribution in situations where researchers contribute significantly to the research process leading up to a specific paper, but where their contribution is finally omitted.

Open Access Article

Most of the scientific work presented as abstracts (platforms and posters) at various conferences have the potential to be published as articles in peer-reviewed journals. This DIY (Do It Yourself) article on how to achieve that goal is an extension of the symposium presented at the 36th European Congress of Cytology, Istanbul, Turkey (presentation available on net at http://alturl.com/q6bfp). The criteria for manuscript authorship should be based on the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts. The next step is to choose the appropriate journal to submit the manuscript and review the ‘Instructions to the authors’ for that journal. Although initially it may appear to be an insurmountable task, diligent organizational discipline with a little patience and perseverance with input from mentors should lead to the preparation of a nearly perfect publishable manuscript even by a novice. Ultimately, the published article is an excellent track record of academic productivity with contribution to the general public good by encouraging the exchange of experience and innovation. It is a highly rewarding conduit to the personal success and growth leading to the collective achievement of continued scientific progress. Recent emergences of journals and publishers offering the platform and opportunity to publish under an open access charter provides the opportunity for authors to protect their copyright from being lost to conventional publishers. Publishing your work on this open platform is the most rewarding mission and is the recommended option in the current modern era.

Abstract Objective Standardized pretest–posttest experimental designs with quantitative surveys are frequently applied to evaluate the effectiveness of health programs. However, this method is strongly informed by research on samples from Western, Educated, Industralized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies and may not produce meaningful results in a distinct cultural, educational and socioeconomic context. Results This paper reports several methodological challenges encountered along the research process of collecting quantitative survey data (i.e., during recruitment, obtaining informed consent, matching pretest–posttest data and data collection) for a mixed-methods field experiment on domestic handwashing in Sierra Leone. Ethical dilemmas of certain research practices are pointed out and potential solutions or alternatives are recommended for each challenge. Analysis of these challenges highlights the importance of reflecting on the aptness of research methodologies for non-WEIRD samples. While this is not to say that quantitative surveys are not suitable in a non-WEIRD context, their employment require considerable time for extensive pilot testing, involving local interviewers and participants in designing research projects and the modification of data collection strategies.

The Moment

The journal "Radiation Diagnostics, Radiation Therapy" was founded in 2010. The founder and publisher of the journal is the SI "Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine". The purposes and objectives of the journal: informing national and foreign readers about new experimental and clinical researches in the field of radiation diagnostics, radiation therapy and surgery; providing a platform for scientific discussions and reaching consensus on controversial and actual aspects of radiation diagnostics and radiation therapy of diseases in adults and children; promoting the expansion of cooperation between domestic and foreign specialists in the field of radiation diagnostics, radiation therapy and surgery for the formation of modern effective practice. In 2019, the journal was re-registered as "Radiation Diagnostics, Radiation Therapy" (RDRT). All scientific articles are peer-reviewed. Since 2019, all scientific articles published in the journal have been assigned the DOI index as one of an essential accessory for integration into the scientific space of our planet. As of December 2020, a total of 36 RDRT issues have been published. For 10 years, a total of 373 publications, within 23 headings, from 70 institutions of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Germany, and the USA, have been printed on its pages. All high-tech technologies of radiation diagnostics and radiation therapy to one degree or another are reflected in the published articles. It is planned to master live publication – posting on the Internet in the free access of scientific work, which is periodically brought up to date by its author. The advantages of such a publication: comfortable perception by the reader (in the text, all inaccuracies and errors noticed from the moment of the first publication of the work on-line are carefully corrected, and also changes in this branch of science are constantly monitored); comfort for the author (mistakes and misprints are now not fatal, and do not haunt the author for the rest of his life); interest in the periodically updated publication even intensifies over time, many readers return to the actual text not only to refresh the most significant points in their memory, but also to find out how the author's views are being transformed and what’s new appeared in a particular area. Key words: science, scientific journal, scientific article, scientific communication, scientometrics, scientific ecosystem.

<p>Open Science has established itself as a movement across all scientific disciplines in recent years. It supports good practices in science and research that lead to more robust, comprehensible, and reusable results. The aim is to improve the transparency and quality of scientific results so that more trust is achieved, both in the sciences themselves and in society. Transparency requires that uncertainties and assumptions are made explicit and disclosed openly. <br>Currently, the Open Science movement is largely driven by grassroots initiatives and small scale projects. We discuss some examples that have taken on different facets of the topic:</p><ul><li>The software developed and used in the research process is playing an increasingly important role. The Research Software Engineers (RSE) communities have therefore organized themselves in national and international initiatives to increase the quality of research software.</li> <li>Evaluating reproducibility of scientific articles as part of peer review requires proper creditation and incentives for both authors and specialised reviewers to spend extra efforts to facilitate workflow execution. The Reproducible AGILE initiative has established a reproducibility review at a major community conference in GIScience.</li> <li>Technological advances for more reproducible scholarly communication beyond PDFs, such as containerisation, exist, but are often inaccessible to domain experts who are not programmers. Targeting geoscience and geography, the project Opening Reproducible Research (o2r) develops infrastructure to support publication of research compendia, which capture data, software (incl. execution environment), text, and interactive figures and maps.</li> </ul><p>At the core of scientific work lie replicability and reproducibility. Even if different scientific communities use these terms differently, the recognition that these aspects need more attention is commonly shared and individual communities can learn a lot from each other. Networking is therefore of great importance. The newly founded initiative German Reproducibility Network (GRN) wants to be a platform for such networking and targets all of the above initiatives. GRN is embedded in a growing network of similar initiatives, e.g. in the UK, Switzerland and Australia. Its goals include </p><ul><li>Support of local open science groups</li> <li>Connecting local or topic-centered initiatives for the exchange of experiences</li> <li>Attracting facilities for the goals of Open Science </li> <li>Cultivate contacts to funding organizations, publishers and other actors in the scientific landscape</li> </ul><p>In particular, the GRN aims to promote the dissemination of best practices through various formats of further education, in order to sensitize particularly early career researchers to the topic. By providing a platform for networking, local and domain-specific groups should be able to learn from one another, strengthen one another, and shape policies at a local level.</p><p>We present the GRN in order to address the existing local initiatives and to win them for membership in the GRN or sibling networks in other countries.</p>

The article proposes a modified Design-Based Research (DBR) framework which accommodates the various socio-cultural factors that emerged in the longitudinal PA-HELP research study at Central University College (CUC) in Ghana, Africa. A transnational team of stakeholders from Ghana, Canada, and the USA collaborated on the development, implementation, and subsequent modification of the DBR framework. The recommended framework is a result of lessons learned during this project in Ghana and as such, it is shaped by the need to be responsive to the local cultural and contextual contingencies. The article offers practical recommendations on the implementation of a mobile learning project in a cross-cultural setting, and provides a discussion of the salient cultural factors and the corresponding culturally-sensitive adaptations needed in the design research process. The Cross-Culture Design-Based Research (CC-DBR) framework is proposed to inform future transcultural m-learning studies.

Audit Approach

This article points out the problem of incompatibility of certain types of humanities research with the standard requirements to scientific paper, which have been developed in recent decades. In humanities studies, the process of reflection and development of a thought is often the main content of scientific work; however in the current standard this aspect is almost ignored. The standard set of requirements imposed upon papers by most scientific journals makes it difficult to obtain the full scientific status for those humanities works that are based on innovative conceptual approach and introduce new perspectives. The aim of this paper is to show the failure of the audit approach to humanities research and substantiate the necessity of extending the current format of a journal article giving it greater freedom and flexibility. In the paper the following methods are used: analysis of relevant literature, method of rationale, historical method, and comparative analysis. The proposed relaxation of the standard requirements to scientific article may stimulate humanities studies that have ground-breaking innovation but do not fit into the standard format. Moreover, it will contribute to the development of conceptual thinking of students of higher school humanities programs, which will create opportunities for more intensive development of the humanities.
