One of the reasons that humanity can enjoy the comforts of modern life is due to the constant advances in science and technology. Through the various developments in science and technology, humanity has learned the ability to understand the universe to some extent. If it weren’t for the scientists and researchers who have worked since Aristotle’s time, many of the conveniences of modern life, such as television, would not have been invented. All these scientific advances are documented for future generations through the use of scientific journals.
A scientific journal is a publication that contains various scientific articles that have been written after proper research. Many scientists and researchers use appropriate scientific journals to publish their own work in the form of a short scientific article that consists of 5 to 30 pages. Then other scientists and researchers who are working in a similar field can also look at that particular scientific article to see if the research can be improved. As a result, one advantage of publishing a scientific article is registering your work before anyone else, while the second advantage is helping to build on the knowledge that already exists. In this way, new scientists and researchers can also advance their work using these scientific articles.
Of course, there may come a time when you also decide to create your own science or technology magazine. Creating a scientific journal is a difficult process, which requires that the journal be designed and produced in a systematic way. First of all, a scientific journal must have a good and impartial editorial board. This is very important, since the editorial committee must govern the process for submitting scientific articles and must regulate the double-blind reviews of the scientific articles presented. Also, the editorial review process should be clear to the scientific community at the beginning, when the scientific journal is created. Therefore, if you are creating your own scientific journal, you should reach out to respected colleagues who can help you establish your editorial board.
Once you have chosen the editorial board, you must also set the standards that you will accept for a scientific article. For example, do you need computer simulations in your technology magazine, or do you just want analytics published? As another example, do you need to see any experimental proof before allowing a research paper to be published or will it be enough to have calculations without proof? When you are establishing your own scientific journal, your editorial board should explore these criteria in detail so that the appropriate reviewers can be chosen to carry out this process.
Naturally, a newly created scientific journal should have an automated submission system. It is essential to create a system that enables a job submission process that is fair, automated and systematic at the same time. Fortunately, there are several programs that allow you to publish your own scientific journal online. Naturally, professional help will be needed to install the magazine software. Most of the scientific journal automation software that is available on the net is open source software, so it is essential to choose one that has the least amount of bugs. You may want to try a couple of scientific journal submission programs before deciding which one is right for your journal.
In addition, a recently published scientific journal or technology journal will need an ISSN number, which will be the number that the journal internationally registers as a periodical publication. It is completely free to obtain an ISSN number and you can obtain it by applying online from the international ISSN site. Therefore, once you have formed your editorial board and once you have received your ISSN number; then, with the help of your scientific journal publishing software, your scientific journal will be ready for immediate publication. In this way, your newly published journal can also serve as a beacon of knowledge for the scientific community.
