With references
e.g. Livestock linePoultry lineIndian Dairyman
Without referencese.g. Livestock International

Simple, lucid and easy to understandDescribe finding of research that may not be of his/her ownIntended for general public or target groupsNo fixed structure of articleReferences not mandatoryMostly follow current scenario
RESEARCH ARTICLES
Original research articles-result of a planned original work-emphasize all the aspects-in a particular structure
Short communications/ short notes-findings in only some parameters -for rapid communication-important findings, i.e. results
Brief, to the point and/or repeatable or replicable Describe own research finding and may compare with othersIntended for scientific community or target groupsFixed structure of article, e.g. abstracts, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, referencesAcknowledgement, conflict of interest, contribution of individual authors
Usually contain: ◦ A summary or “abstract” ◦ Key words◦ Description of the research methodologies adopted results generated significance of the results
◦ References cited Research articles are not good places to find:
◦ basic summaries ◦ general introductions to a topic
Article:◦ The most recent, cutting edge research◦ Authoritative information about older research
Abstract◦ Clear picture of the article in a concise manner◦ About 200-250 words◦ Usually in one paragraph◦ Attractively represents all the information
Extended abstract◦ Abstract having subheadings and tables, graphs, figures
also. About 600-800 words
Mini-abstract◦ Represents a clear picture of an extended abstract in a
concise manner.◦ 50-100 words.
ABSTRACT

REVIEW ARTICLE
Guidelines on authorshop, International committee of Medical Journal Editors,
Reprinted by kind permission of the Editor of the British Medical Journal of Sept
14, 1985. J Clin Pathol 39: 110, 1986
Definition: “A conflict of interest is a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgment or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest.”
Occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation for an act in the other. ◦ i.e. Any undue funding grant or financial gain or promotion that may bias the
research
Primary interest: principal goals of the profession or activity e.g.
Integrity of research
Compliance to Ethical norms in research
Rationale for animal/human experimentation
Secondary interest: Financial gain and motives
Desire for professional advancement
Wish to do favors for family and friends
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Financial or personal relationship that inappropriately influence the actions of an author, reviewer, or editor
Also known as Dual commitments/competing interests/competing loyalties
Authors should disclose their conflict of interest Financial relationships such as employment, consultancy,
stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony
Personal relationship
Academic competition
Intellectual passion
Must be included in acknowledgment

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL PERSONALPREJUDICE
Latin word “plagiarius”: literally kidnapper
“Wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work
Use of a writer's ideas or phraseology without giving due credit
Not a crime per se but is disapproved more on the grounds of moral offence, and cases of plagiarism can involve liability for copyright infringement.
By failing to include quotations orgive the appropriate citation
Self-plagiarism
Impact Factor ◦ Thomson Reuters
Eigenfactor Score◦ University of Washington
Page Rank Algorithm◦ Google
NAAS rating◦ National Academy of Agricultural Sciences
A measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in science and social science journals
Devised by Eugene Garfield:◦ founder of Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now
part of Thomson Reuters
Calculated after all the publications of previous year have been processed by the indexing agency
2011 impact factors are actually published in 2012
IF of a journal is the avg. citations received per paper published in that journal during the two preceding years
e.g. if a journal has an IF 3 in 2011, then its papers published in 2010 and 2009 received 3 citations each on avg. in 2011
A = the no. of times articles published in 2009 and 2010 were cited by indexed journals during 2011.
B = the total number of "citable items" published by that journal in 2009 and 2010.
("Citable items" are usually articles, reviews, proceedings, or notes; not editorials or letters-to-the-editor)
2011 impact factor = A/B
Hirsch index or Hirsch number
◦ Jorge E. Hirsch
◦ Measures productivity & impact of published work of a scientist
or scholar
e.g. A scientist has index h if h of his/her papers have at
least h citations each
i-10 index:
Google citations
Immediacy Index :
◦ average number of times published papers are cited
during year of publication
National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS)
Objectives: to bring uniformity in the evaluation of
publications Assessment of research achievements Avoids arbitrariness in assessment
Category I: Where IF is available, 6.0 and 10.0
Category II: Non IF journals, on the basis of a proforma
Previously , scale of 4 was used till 2007 Now, a scale of 10 used: 1988 Journals (2012 list)

Instruction to authors
Write in simple and clear, but lucid manner
Keep words flowing
A reader should never have to read a sentence twice to understand its meaning
Don't rely on the spell checker only
Ask yourself◦ What I am trying to say?
◦ What words will express it?
◦ Could I put it more briefly?
Use words carefully & precisely
Active voice, better
Print the draft, correct after reading it aloud, print
Punctuations, awkward sentences, unnecessary words, look of document

Use of Spelling and Grammar Check
Find and replace
Use of show/hide icon
