Portal of science journals of BNTU

Now it is easier to submit a manuscript to an international academic journal! The BNTU Scientific Library offers to use online services for checking information about an academic journal and editing a list of references in accordance with requirements of international academic journals.

Academic Journal Verification

While investing time and effort into preparing a manuscript, it is important to ensure that research results are published in a qualitative journal. Do you want to know if the journal you have chosen is included in the list of Higher Attestation Commission or in international scientific citation databases? How authoritative is it for the scientific community? Have you received an offer by e-mail to publish in an unfamiliar journal and are not sure of its quality? All these questions will be solved by the online service "Search and verification of information about a scientific journal".

For reference: employees and students of BNTU can use the service for free. For third-party users, the service is provided on a paid basis with the possibility of payment through Single Settlement and Information Space (SSIS).

Compilation of Bibliographic References

Successful publication in an international academic journal depends on a number of factors. Along with quality of material presented and careful work on all elements of an article, the way a bibliographic list is prepared is also of great importance when submitting a manuscript. The requirements of journals may differ, because there are a fairly large number of standards (styles) for describing cited sources. If it is difficult for you to understand these nuances or you want to save your efforts and time, we recommend that you use the new online service of the BNTU Scientific Library “Editing the list of references in accordance with the requirements of an academic journal (State Standard, styles). Compilation of References".

For reference: the service is paid. The service can be used by library readers and remote users with the possibility of paying through Single Settlement and Information Space (SSIS).

The library provides 18 online services, many of which are for authors of scientific publications.

Crossref proposes the creation of some form of Registry of Editorial Boards to develop best practice around editorial boards' information and governance that can be used by the scientific community.

This new service can provide greater transparency and automation of the editorial process, connect content platforms (e.g. peer review management systems, publisher websites, ORCID and other author registration systems, ROR, bibliographic databases, etc.) and make available information about the editorial boards, including metadata about the full affiliations of the editorial boards.

Crossref announces the significant benefits of such a system for various stakeholders in the scholarly communication community: from publishers, researchers, institutions, sponsors to bibliometricians and librarians.

For more details, please follow the link.

In order to better understand the needs of the community, the willingness to participate and contribute to registering and maintaining the details of the editorial boards, it is proposed to complete this short survey by March 31, 2022.
