Revision is the trickiest part of journal publication. You can ruin your chance of getting acceptance if you don't do the job right. Your response has to be professional, thorough and diplomatic. We're starting a Revision Club in a few hours. We organize them every time one of our students receives a revision from a journal. A dedicated session to help our students address the reviewers comments. At Autonomous Academic Accelerator (AAA), we target top journals and guide our community in every step along the way. Our support doesn't stop after the first paper or the second. We commit to our students for a lifetime. If you're ready to publish your papers and become a reference in the world, book a free call to apply to the program: https://lnkd.in/eraeb3Qg

We've reached a strange time where we add a few intentional typos to prove our text isn't AI-generated! Never thought I'd be so proud of my miskates. 😅

How do you visualize data in a journal article? [save this one for later] There are multiple ways for visualization. But the point you want to convey usually falls under the following four categories: 1️⃣ Comparison 2️⃣ Distribution 3️⃣ Composition 4️⃣ Relationship →  Comparison: Visualize how two or more data sets compare to each other. This helps identify similarities, differences, trends, and patterns between different variables. →  Distribution: Show the spread of data points within a dataset. This helps understand the distribution of your data, identify outliers, and assess the overall variability. →  Composition: Break down a whole into its smaller parts. This helps see the relative importance of different components in a dataset. →  Relationship: Illustrate the connection between two or more variables. This helps identify correlations, cause-and-effect relationships, and other patterns in your data. You can make this decision by answering this question. 👇 What do you want to show/convey to the reader? Once you answer this question, you will find the most suitable visualization type for your data. P.S. Let me know which one is your favorite. 😊 _______________ 🔔 This is Dr. Samira Hosseini.

Title of your paper is "Cultural Heritage Preservation Practices in the Coastal Villages of Western Albania: A Case Study of Himarë" and you're wondering why you get rejected by international journals? May I ask, What do you expect? If your study is limited by variables, scope and/or geographic location, you have two options: ☑️ Either consider regional journals (there's nothing wrong with that) ☑️ Or open a thorough discussion on how your regional findings can hold meaning in the global context and then submit to international journals. P.S.: The very regional photo was taken in Machu Picchu, Peru 😉

WHAT? I am ranked in the top 4.6% of all scientists worldwide? 😱 And the top 1.8-2.6% in analytical chemistry!!! 😅 I was utterly clueless about these rankings until one of the AAA students celebrated this milestone in our Mastermind Community. How does it make me feel? Great, as I’ve learned to own my success and celebrate every single achievement along the way. I even teach that as part of my training to AAA students by repeating this sentence every week: "If you're not celebrating your wins, you either don't do the work or don't know how to own your wins." I own my wins! But the feeling of being humbled is also real. I am at the center of a community composed of extremely intelligent, caring individuals who have big goals and ambitious dreams. I am blessed to be the founder of this program, the Autonomous Academic Accelerator program, And be surrounded by these brilliant masterminds. There is nothing more powerful than being supported and deeply cared for, and that's what we do best at AAA: https://lnkd.in/eJWyksJv

Is your instrument valid? Are your results reliable? Validity and reliability are key concepts in research, particularly when designing and evaluating studies, instruments, or experiments. Much like Accuracy and Precision (see my post on September 7th), the two have fundamental differences. Let's dive in 👇 →  𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲 Validity refers to how well a research study or instrument measures what it is intended to measure. It ensures that the findings, conclusions, and inferences are accurate and meaningful. There are several types of validity: ↳ Content Validity: Ensures that the instrument covers all relevant aspects of the concept being measured. ↳ Construct Validity: Determines whether the instrument truly measures the theoretical construct it’s intended to measure. ↳ Criterion Validity: Assesses how well one measure predicts an outcome based on another, established measure. ↳ Internal Validity: Relates to the credibility of causal relationships established in a study. ↳ External Validity: Reflects the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to other populations or contexts. → 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Reliability refers to the consistency or stability of a measure over time. A reliable instrument produces the same results under consistent conditions. Types of reliability include: ↳ Test-Retest Reliability: The consistency of results when the same test is repeated under the same conditions. ↳ Inter-Rater Reliability: The degree to which different observers or raters agree in their assessments. ↳ Internal Consistency: Ensures that different items on a test or instrument produce similar results. In summary, validity is about measuring what you intend to measure, and reliability is about getting consistent results. Both are essential to producing credible, trustworthy research findings. ______________ 🔔 This is Dr. Samira Hosseini. Scholars who took my training published +2,000 articles in top-tier journals.

One of the most beautiful moments in journal publication is when your dream journal invites you to send a cover for the journal and features your article on their magazine's front or back covers. This happened to me twice. The first time, the invitation came from Carbon, a top journal in materials science, which just accepted our article. They asked us to send the front and back covers (double privilege), and I must admit, we all felt great and immediately began putting ideas together. This design was the winner 👇 We sent it along with a quote from Bertrand Russell. “In the visible world, the Milky Way is a tiny fragment; within this fragment, the solar system is an infinitesimal speck, and of this speck, our planet is a microscopic dot. On this dot, tiny lumps of impure carbon and water, of complicated structure, with somewhat unusual physical and chemical properties, crawl about for a few years until they are dissolved again into the elements of which they are compounded.” ― Bertrand Russell P.S. How would you design the cover of your dream journal if one day you received such an invitation?

A quick reminder, 'Perfect' is the enemy of 'Done'.

Every failure can be published. Every triumph can be published. Every new perspective can be published. Every technical advance can be published. Every collection of findings can be published. Knowledge dissemination is one of our primary duties.
