Publication in the Scopus and Web of Science databases is essential for research and teaching activities. Why is it worth submitting an article in advance?
Publications in journals indexed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases are a prerequisite for obtaining academic degrees and academic titles in Kazakhstan. Some researchers may delay the stage of manuscript submission for further publication, which is a mistake. Today, we will explain why it is important to submit an article early for consideration to Scopus and Web of Science journals.
The importance of early submission of an article to a journal
1. Deadlines for review.
The timeframe for reviewing articles in journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science is often delayed due to the large flow of submissions and complex review processes. This is due to the need to process a large number of materials. In addition, there may be delays due to technical problems or communication errors, for example, if letters from authors or editors end up in the spam folder, which can lead to delays in processing and, accordingly, in the review of the article. That is why submitting the manuscript in advance allows you to avoid possible delays and ensure timely publication of the article.
2. Terms of review and revision.
The review period in the Scopus and Web of Science databases can last from a couple of months to a year. This is due to the large number of materials that need to be processed by reviewers. Delays can also occur due to a shortage of reviewers, which can prolong the review process. The time required for further revision of the article depends on the delay at the review stage.
Early submission of an article is important in the context of delays in the review and revision stages in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. This allows for timely correction of possible comments, recommendations, or requests from the editorial board and ensures that the publication will be released on time.
3. A long queue.
In Kazakhstan, as in many other countries, publications in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science are a prerequisite for obtaining academic degrees and academic titles. Early submission of articles ensures that your work will be published in time to meet the requirements and take into account possible delays at various stages of review and publication.
4. Increased visibility.
In addition to being used for obtaining academic titles and degrees, publication in Scopus and Web of Science databases helps to increase the author's visibility. Early submission of an article contributes to faster publication, and thus to citation and collaboration with other researchers, which in turn increases the author's visibility and scientific influence.
5. Publication schedule.
If you need to publish to obtain academic degrees and titles, obtain funding, undergo re-certification, or support your publication activities, you should submit articles to Scopus and Web of Science in advance. Some grantors and research institutions require publications in journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. Early submission allows you to have the necessary publications in time. It also allows you to plan your academic career, including defending your dissertation or obtaining a title. Submitting articles in advance is important for meeting deadlines and for the smooth development of your academic career.
