PELATIHAN PENULISAN ARTIKEL ILMIAH BERBASIS RISET BAGI GURU DAN TEKNIK SUBMISSION DI JURNAL NASIONAL

ABSTRAKKegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan di SMP Negeri 1 Dewantara, Aceh utara. Tujuan pengabdian ini untuk memberikan pengetahuan bagi guru-guru dalam menulis artikel ilmiah, mengembangkan pengetahuan dan meningkatkan kualitas penulisan artikel ilmiah, melatih guru untuk mempublikasikan artikel penelitian secara mandiri pada jurnal nasional berbasi OJS (Open Journal System). Kegiatan ini di dasari oleh permasalahan mitra yaitu: (1) Belum adanya pelatihan khusus untuk mendukung penulisan karya ilmiah berbasis riset. (2) Minimnya pengetahuan guru dan keterbatasan ide dalam penulisan karya ilmiah. (3) Guru masih mengalami kesulitan untuk mempublikasikan artikel ilmiah secara mandiri pada jurnal nasional. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan terdiri dari 3 tahapan yaitu. Tahapan sosialisasi dan diskusi dilakukan melalui penyuluhan (pemaparan materi) tentang (1) Penulisan Artikel Ilmiah Berbasis Riset Bagi Guru dan Teknik Submission di Jurnal Nasional dan (2) Teknik Submission Artikel di Jurnal Nasional Berbasis OJS. Tahap kedua yaitu tahapan diskusi dimana pada tahap ini dilanjutkan dengan diskusi berupa tanya jawab antara pemateri dengan peserta. Tahap ketiga yaitu mempraktekkan bagaimana cara submit artikel ilmiah sesuai dengan target submission jurnal nasional berbasis OJS. Hasil yang diperoleh yaitu semua peserta antusias mengikuti kegiatan pelatihan yang diberikan, hal ini terlihat dari para peserta yang menyimak dengan seksama materi yang disampaikan, dan mengajukan pertanyaan ketika ada kendala yang belum dipahami.

The purpose of this service is to provide knowledge for teachers in writing scientific articles, develop knowledge and improve the quality of writing scientific articles, train teachers to publish research articles independently in national journals based on OJS (Open Journal System). This activity is based on partner problems, namely: (1) There is no special training to support the writing of research-based scientific papers. (2) The lack of teacher knowledge and limited ideas in writing scientific papers. (3) Teachers still have difficulty publishing scientific articles independently in national journals. The method of implementing the activity consists of 3 stages, namely. The stages of socialization and discussion are carried out through counseling (exposure to material) on (1) Research-Based Scientific Article Writing for Teachers and Submission Techniques in National Journals and (2) Article Submission Techniques in OJS-Based National Journals. The second stage is the discussion stage where at this stage it is followed by a discussion in the form of questions and answers between the presenter and the participants. The third stage is to practice how to submit scientific articles in accordance with the OJS-based national journal submission target. The results obtained are that all participants are enthusiastic about participating in the training activities provided, this can be seen from the participants who listen carefully to the material presented, and ask questions when there are obstacles that are not yet understood.

The Journal Review Process

This chapter reviews the journal submission and review process, starting with navigating manuscript submission sites and proceeding through editorial review, peer review, editorial decisions, revising and resubmitting manuscripts, developing reviewer response letters, finalizing manuscripts, and correcting publisher proofs. The chapter provides an in-depth tutorial on responding to reviewer requests, prioritizing which requests to respond to first, how to respond to different editorial styles, and how to use the response letter to “push back” against reviewer requests without being combative. The chapter also offers suggestions for handling conflicting reviewer requests, requests for new analyses, and how to revise a paper when new analyses change the message or take away previously significant findings.

Stage 1 Registered Report: The influence of journal submission guidelines on authors’ reporting of statistics and use of open research practices: five years later

The changes in statistical practices and reporting have been documented by Giofrè et al. (2017), who investigated ten statistical and open practices in two high ranking journals (Psychological Science [PS] and Journal of Experimental Psychology, General [JEPG]): Null hypothesis significance testing; confidence or credible intervals; meta-analysis of the results of multiple experiments; confidence intervals interpretation; effect size interpretation; sample size determination; sample size stopping rule; data availability; materials availability; preregistered design and analysis plan.The investigation was based on an analysis of all papers published in these journals between 2013 and the 2015.The aim of the present study is to follow up changes in both PS and the JEPG in subsequent years, from 2016 to 2020 adding code availability as further open practice.

Honest signaling in academic publishing

Academic journals provide a key quality-control mechanism in science. Yet, information asymmetries and conflicts of interests incentivize scientists to deceive journals about the quality of their research. How can honesty be ensured, despite incentives for deception? Here, we address this question by applying the theory of honest signaling to the publication process. Our models demonstrate that several mechanisms can ensure honest journal submission, including differential benefits, differential costs, and costs to resubmitting rejected papers. Without submission costs, scientists benefit from submitting all papers to high-ranking journals, unless papers can only be submitted a limited number of times. Counterintuitively, our analysis implies that inefficiencies in academic publishing (e.g., arbitrary formatting requirements, long review times) can serve a function by disincentivizing scientists from submitting low-quality work to high-ranking journals. Our models provide simple, powerful tools for understanding how to promote honest paper submission in academic publishing.

Census of Journal Policies for Registered Reports: The First Seven Years of Adoption

Registered reports are a new publication workflow where the decision to publish is based on the proposed methods before data is collected. Many journals have adopted this new mechanism; however, previous research suggests that submission rates are very low, suggesting author adoption may be lagging behind. We conducted a census of journals publishing registered reports (N = 243) using independent coders to collect information from submission guidelines, with the goal of documenting the early adoption of registered reports and providing useful information about common policies for registered reports. Common misconceptions about restrictive policies of registered reports are mostly disconfirmed: all journals allow exploratory analysis, and most journals allow multiple studies and secondary data analysis. Overall, missing data suggests that journal submission policies are incomplete, but as researchers learn more about registered reports, we may see increased adoption of this novel publication mechanism.

The Influence of bioRχiv on PLOS ONE’s Peer-Review and Acceptance Time

This study examines the relation between acceptance times in preprint publishing and journal publishing. Specifically, we investigated the association between a paper’s posting time to bioRχiv, a preprints server, and journal articles’ peer-review and acceptance time for PLOS ONE. So far, of the total papers published in 1,626 academic journals, the average publication rate of those posted in bioRχiv is 40.67%. Meanwhile, PLOS ONE was the journal that published more papers. Analysis of peer-review and acceptance time of papers published in journals via preprints showed the time these papers are posted in relation to these intervals. The median of the peer-review and acceptance time of the journal submission date that was later than the date of first posting to bioRχiv was 110.00 days, and in the reverse case, it was 139.50 days. Posting to the preprint server before journal submission shows a better order than vice versa. This study provides us a good understanding of the peer-review process. It also gives us good insights into optimizing this process, which would then facilitate paper publication and knowledge dissemination.
