IMPACT FACTOR (IF)
Calculation for five-year impact factor:
One year of citations to five years of articles.
A= citations in 2013 to articles published in 2008-2012
[= 400]
B= articles published in 2008-2012 [= 200]
C= A/B = five-year impact factor [= 400/200 = 2]
** Nature (IF = 51)
** Science (IF = 48)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/buetworkshopbayes-141207141705-conversion-gate01/85/How-to-Publish-an-Article-8-320.jpg)

Now it ranks 6/27 (Q1) in the category ‘Remote Sensing’. *** Does it frustrate you? IF of a journal can widely-vary based on different subject categories!
- 10. RReesseeaarrcchheerr RRaannkkiinngg In general, total number of citations defines a researcher!
- 11. SSoommee TTiippss If you fail to publish in an ISI journal; what’s next: •National well recognized journals (e.g. IEB, BIP, IAB) •Conference proceedings and presentations •Workshops and Research reports •Internationally Recognized Organizations/ Agencies (e.g. BRAC, NASA, USAID, ISPRS etc) * Bangladesh related ISI journals (e.g. BANGLADESH JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH); 45 years on publishing journals! ** Try to find well-recognized publishers = Springer, Elsevier, Wiley etc. ** Remember: All Springer Journals are not ISI recognized
- 12. WWhhaatt iiss aa RReesseeaarrcchh PPrrooppoossaall?? A research proposal is a document of usually three to seven pages that informs others of a proposed piece of research. The purpose of the proposal is to help you to focus and define your research plans.
- 13. CClliieenntt’’ss SSaattiissffaaccttiioonn!! Client = Supervisor or Funding Agency Every proposal scans for clear answers to three questions: a)What are we going to learn that we do not know now? b)Why it is worth knowing? c)How will we know that the conclusions are valid? ** Follow the Research Interests or Instructions (ToR)!

Wait for the initial comments from the Editor 5. If rejected; try another journal! 6. If accepted for the next stage, then wait for the reviewers comments (2-3 reviewers) 7. Reviewers can either reject or ask for major/minor revisions! 8. Finally, after positive responses from all the reviewers and the Editor in Chief; your article will be published! 9.
