Thank you

Thank you to everybody attending the Emerald Author Workshop - I trust that it will serve as inspiration and stimulus for you own publishing career!

Welcome back!

Welcome back to you all - I trust that you have a restful recess and that the new semester will hold great promise!

Emerald Author Guidelines

Emerald offers a series of Author Guidelines

(similar to the ones I've distributed at the Author Workshop on Monday 7th April) available online offering practical tips and guidance on how to get your work published and maximize dissemination from Emerald, the world's leading publisher of management research..
It is available to Emerald subscribers. To subscribe please register on the Emerald website once you've entered it via the Library's databases.
Here is what to expect as well as the links to the guidelines:

How to... write a case study

A case study involves focusing on a set of issues in some contemporary setting, usually but not exclusively an organization, or perhaps a department or sector of an organization. It may use just one case or a number of cases linked together by a theme. Because of its real-world setting, it is a powerful tool of analysis, and one that obviously chimes in with Emerald's concern to disseminate implications for practice. It is particularly good at addressing "how" and "why" questions.

How to... write for a practitioner audience

If you are an academic, then you have good job-related reasons to want to publish: your job and your promotion depends upon your keeping up your publishing profile in quality scholarly journals. If you are a practising manager, however, writing for publication is not part of your job and can seem much less important than keeping up with your targets and the inevitable fire-fighting. This guide aims to explain the benefits of publishing to practising managers and to give advice on how to publish successfully.

How to... write a literature review

A literature review is a description of the literature relevant to a particular field or topic. It gives an overview of what has been said, who the key writers are, what are the prevailing theories and hypotheses, what questions are being asked, and what methods and methodologies are appropriate and useful. As such, it is not in itself primary research, but rather it reports on other findings.

How to... find the right journal

Finding the right journal is as important to the publishing process as is having something original to say and saying it well. Many journal editors claim that a good proportion of their rejections happen not because manuscripts are of insufficient quality, but because they are inappropriate for the journal's objectives. As ever, it is easier (and usually leads to a more successful outcome) if you address these issues as early as possible.

How to... write an abstract

An abstract is a succinct summary of a longer piece of work, usually academic in nature, which is published in isolation from the main text and should therefore stand on its own and be understandable without reference to the longer piece. It should report the latter's essential facts, and should not exaggerate or contain material that is not there. Its purpose is to act as a reference tool (for example in a library abstracting service) and, more importantly, to enable the reader to decide whether or not to read the full text. It is your opportunity to gain readership and citation.

How to... use the Harvard reference system

The Harvard reference system, also known as the author-date system, is Emerald's approved system of citing other works. Articles submitted to Emerald are required to use this system. This guide explains how and where to use references within the text of your article and how to compile the reference list at the end. We also look at some of the software tools that are available to simplify these tasks.

How to... structure your article

According to one survey on why articles fail to get published in economics journals, there are two main reasons. Either the paper does not make, or does not demonstrate that it makes, a contribution to knowledge or the paper is badly organized, with the parts not fitting together to form a coherent whole. These two factors, which rated more highly in this survey than targeting the wrong journal, both relate to the paper's structure. Papers that are well structured will have a logical organization with a beginning, a middle and an end, and above all a sense of purpose which communicates itself to the reader, will motivate him or her to continue reading in the belief that the author is making a contribution to knowledge.

How to... write more simply

Reviewers of academic papers often point out that the language is unnecessarily obscure and obtuse. The reviewer or editor feels there is a good point in there somewhere, but it is not easy for the reader to find. In contrast, good English is economical and spares redundant words. In Lost for Words: The Use and Abuse of the English Language, John Humphrys describes the qualities of good English: "... clear, simple, plain and unambiguous ... free of jargon, although there will be exceptions. It should be easy to read and listen to rather than a chore. At the very least it should not make our tongues fur up". This guide provides suggestions on how you can make sure your style is as clear as possible.

How to... prepare papers if English is not your first language

Preparing and writing an academic article for publication in an English language journal is a daunting experience for anyone, but particularly so if your first language is not English. This guide gives you some support with preparing articles in a non-native tongue. It is not possible to give specific advice about English, because teaching English as a foreign language is a highly specialized area requiring a great deal of skill. However, we will provide general advice on writing articles and list some useful resources including editing services.

How to... proofread your work

As far as writing an article for publication is concerned, we are talking about authors proofreading before it goes to production. In many ways, it is more like copy-editing, which is about close attention to the detail of the script, reading at sentence level to make sure there is nothing that can detract from accuracy and clarity, be it errors of grammar, inconsistency, spelling, or punctuation. "If a paper is not carefully checked, then it looks not just sloppy, but as though the author does not care. So why should anyone else?" (John Peters, Emerald CEO and editor of Management Decision).

How to... survive peer review and revise your paper

What gives being published in a journal especial credibility is that other experts have read the work and deemed it acceptable. The peer review process is therefore what gives the journal in which you have chosen to place your article, and your paper if you have done the necessary revisions, a quality control stamp. This guide offers advice on minimizing the chances of having to revise your work by getting it right in the first place, to a practical example of carrying out your own peer review.

How to... collaborate on writing an article

Many Emerald articles result from collaboration. Reasons for this include the: increasing importance of publication for tenure, promotion and satisfying the UK Research Assessment Exercise; tendency towards large, multidisciplinary projects; nature of research funding; pressure for PhD students to get out publications even before their PhD is approved; and greater ease afforded by electronic means of communication. This guide focuses on authorship and dissemination issues arising from collaborative research (issues concerning setting up a large research project team are covered in our Research Zone). This guide is based on the experiences of several authors from three continents.

How to... promote your work

A good promotions strategy will increase the impact of your work by getting more people to read your article, improving your citation ratings, and ensuring that your work becomes more widely known both within your academic and practitioner community and outside it. It will also help disseminate the practical and policy-related implications of your work to those who can implement it. This guide concentrates on strategies that will help you and your colleagues make your articles, as well as the wider research on which they are based, better known. If you are working as part of a research centre or larger research programme with major funding, then you will need to talk to your partners and your funding body about developing a proper communications strategy.

How to... write a book review

Book reviews are a special form of academic writing. They have well-known structures with familiar components. Here, James Hartley of the School of Psychology, Keele University, UK, consults with academics on writing the perfect book review and presents a potential checklist for book reviewers.

Remember to create your PIN today!

Now you need a PIN

From tomorrow there will be a third step into logging onto the databases. The first two being surname and staff number.

You may have noticed that between 06.00 and 18.00 tomorrow (07.02.08) the databases will not be available.

Students (and staff) wanting to access the databases will be prompted to create a PIN.

Students and staff who have forgotten their PIN number can contact the Circulation Desk who will then detail the PIN field and assist clients to create a new PIN.

Those who want to change their PIN can do so via MyUJLINK. The process is similar to that of changing passwords where one will be prompted first for the old PIN and then the creation of a new PIN.

The PIN is 6 characters long and is alpha-numerical.

Faulty URL linkages from your Alerts

We are currently experiencing some problems with faulty links to articles from the database alerts that are emailed to you (if you've registered for them)

While we are waiting for the databases to fix the faulty links to articles, there is a way of manually fixing the URL to retrieve the article.

This can be useful for if you want to include links on web pages or Library Live or Edulink

You need to insert the UJ code into the article URL.

The code is in 2 parts: one part (0-) comes directly after the http:// and the other (ujlink.uj.ac.za) comes directly before the first stroke /


So you need to change this:
https://apkmail.uj.ac.za/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://web.ebscohost.com./ehost/detail?vid=2%26hid=12%26sid=38613024-f154-4a9c-8d09-4abfd1bdfd1c%2540sessionmgr7

To this:
http://0-web.ebscohost.com.ujlink.uj.ac.za/ehost/detail?vid=2&hid=12&sid=38613024-f154-4a9c-8d09-4abfd1bdfd1c%40sessionmgr7

Do not change anything else in the URL, only insert the coding.

More Information on the Emerald Author Workshop

I've received quite a few positive responses for the upcoming Emerald Author Workshop to be held on 7 April from my departments - thank you for your enthusiasm!

I've also had numerous requests for more info on:

• the venue for the workshop
• the costs involved
• the amount of participants that can attend
• more information on what the workshop actually entails
  

Venue
The venue will only be finalised and communicated to me at the end of March, however, Eric Broug (Emerald Business Manager - Africa) indicated that due to the positive response of UJ we have quite a strong case to host it.

Costs
It's free!

Amount of participants that can attend
"I don’t have a maximum amount of attendees for the workshop, the more the merrier!" - Eric Broug's answer to this question.

More info
Although I do not know what Eric will be addressing specifically, I was able to find an Introduction to Emerald Author Workshops available on Emerald's database in the section dedicated to authors (and well worth a click.)

Here is what the introduction says: The main part of the session is the presentation that includes:

• background information on Emerald
• what being published means to the author
• the people (editors, their advisors and reviewers, publishers and authors themselves) involved throughout the process
• advice for authors on preparing and submitting articles
• the review process in detail
• how to get involved with your publisher

It is common for the presentation and workshop to be tailored to the audience (particularly if it is to take place at a conference) or reflect the subject coverage of a journal or range of journals if an editor is to give the presentation. The presentation will always include a question and answer session; they have occasionally (where the presenter has experience of journal editing) featured a clinic for a handful of one-on-one consultations with students or delegates. Emerald also supply a booklet - the "Author Workshop Resource" - for delegates to take away. This can also be customised to suit either audience or presenter and aims to back-up some points made in the presentation and broaden others.

I hope that this answers any immediate questions that has come up.
As always I will keep you informed of any change in detail or if more information becomes available.

Library training for your students

Please remember that I am more than happy to provide Library group training for your undergraduate as well as honours students.

In these typically one hour-sessions I provide the students with an overview of:

• How to search for books
• Which databases are suitable for their subject area
• Using Bibliographic as well as Full Text databases
• Finding the full text article from a citation/reference/abstract
• Reference techniques
• RefWorks (if time permits and if asked for specifically)

If you have a specific topic that you would like me to focus on I am more than happy to do that.

As the Masters and especially the PhD students research are very topic specific it requires more intense research (from them) and Library training (from me), I prefer to train them in one-on-one sessions.

In the one-on-one sessions I cover all of the items mentioned above, but focus specifically on the individual topic the student has to research. I also explain:

• the Interlibrary Loan process
• the Letters of Introduction allowing them access to other universities
• RefWorks

As mentioned these sessions are more intense in nature and usually takes up to an hour and a half to two hours.

To the right of this blog you will find my Office calender where I indicate the dates/times that I am already booked for training - please consult the calender when you plan to schedule Library training.

I look forward to seeing your students this year!

Enhancement & Changes to RefWorks

General Enhancements
Write-N-Cite III for Windows with Offline Capabilities (Beta)
Windows users can now write and format a paper completely offline with this new version of Write-N-Cite. Simply download your RefWorks database from within Write-N-Cite while online, then feel free to disconnect from the internet. Click here for all the details from the online help section Working Offline.

Improved APA Bibliography Formatting
RefWorks is the first to automatically detect whether a reference has a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or other electronic information and print the appropriate information in your bibliography when an APA output style is selected – meeting the new APA guidelines.

To do this, RefWorks made changes to the Output Style Editor. Now when you create or modify an output style in RefWorks, there’s a new option in the Bibliography Settings area that allows you to Apply APA Rules for Electronic Source field inclusion. This option can be used in any output style. Here's how it works: When this option is selected, RefWorks will look for Digital Object Identifier (DOI) information for the reference and print that first. If there is no DOI in the reference, then the RefWorks will print the information in the Links field. If there is no DOI or Links information, RefWorks will print the Retrieved Date and Database information for a particular reference. Note: This setting only applies to references where the Source Type field is set to Electronic.

Automated Marking of Duplicate References for Deletion
When using the Exact Match or Close Match duplicate detection features, RefWorks now pre-selects (marks) for deletion the newest duplicate reference. Only one reference per matched references is selected (so if you have three versions of the same reference only the most recently added is pre-selected). This can help make the deletion of duplicate records even easier!

Improved RefGrab-It Results For PubMed and Amazon
RefGrab-It will now retrieve all the related articles for a record when looking at the detailed record view in PubMed. When used with Amazon, related books will also be included. This provides users with even more supplemental information to import directly into their RefWorks database.

Deleted References Folder
References deleted from your account are now automatically stored for 30 days in the Deleted References folder. This folder is accessible by selecting Folders, View, Deleted References from the toolbar. References can be restored to their original location in your database from within this folder. File attachments, RefShare comments and folder designation all remain until the reference is permanently deleted.

Miscellaneous Enhancements
Reference Type Name Change
The current reference type Journal has been changed to Journal Article to better reflect the type of information being cited.
Reorganized Help File
The online help file has been reorganized to make it easier to find and locate information. Topics have been consolidated into fewer, more logical groupings.

Emerald Author Workshop Invitation

Diarise 7 April because Emerald’s Business Manager for Africa, Eric Broug will be visiting Johannesburg and will hold author workshops for lecturers, researchers and students. The idea is to focus on and encourage South African (aspiring) authors to submit articles for publication to their journals.
The workshops will be held either at WITS or here at UJ. A time/venue has not been discussed yet - I think Eric wants to test the response to this invitation.

Emerald publishes in the following subject areas:

• Accounting, finance & legal


• Human resource management


• Industry sector management


• Innovation and enterprise


• Information & knowledge management


• International business


• Library management and library studies


• Management science, economics and social policy


• Managing quality


• Marketing Operations management


• Property and real estate


• Strategy and general management

A full title list of all Emerald journals is available here. These workshops are not only for lecturers, but also for postgraduate students and staff who would like to venture into scholarly publishing.

I will give you more details as and when it becomes available closer to the date.

My new email address

My email has finally been changed to reflect my married status - it's now sophievdw@uj.ac.za for Sophie van der Walt.

All emails sent to sophievn@uj.ac.za will be routed to the new address.

New in THES this week

SA lecturer's 'freedom to criticise' verdict welcomed by UK
Melanie Newman
Academic freedom includes the right to criticise university managers, a High Court judge has ruled. Although the case was heard in the South African courts, the ruling has been welcomed by UK campaigners, who argue that academics' right to question received wisdom must not be restricted to cover only their area of research expertise.
http://www.thes.co.uk/current_edition/story.aspx?story_id=2039630

Feedback must be top priority
Tariq Tahir
While student satisfaction overall is high, survey shows improvements are needed. It is students' single biggest gripe, and universities are rapidly waking up to the fact that, if they want to enhance that all-important "student experience", their lecturers must provide better feedback.
The Higher Education Academy's assessment team has confirmed that it gets more requests for help to improve the system of feedback in universities than on any other issue.

How to get to the Full Text of an article

If you find in the databases/Internet only an abstract/citation/summary, please follow the steps below to get to the journal and ultimately article:

You will need to use a database called A-Z list (the very first database on our list).
A-Z list is an index of all the journals we are subscribed to plus in which database you will be able to find the journal in full text. So when we do a search in A-Z list we do NOT do an author search or an article title search or a topic search. You have to do a JOURNAL TITLE search as it is only an index of journal titles. (This will not be a problem as the reference will include the journal title)

Here are the instructions:
* Go to UJ library list of database
* Click on A-Z list (a list of all our electronic journals)
* Your surname is your user id and your student number your password.
* Click on Search
* Type in the journal name that you are looking for and click on search
* A list of journal titles that contain the words you type in will be displayed
* Click on the blue database title and the journal will open (If your journal is NOT listed i.e. you get a 0 matches found reply, then we do not have a copy in our library ~ please request the article through an Interlibrary Loan)
* Click on the volume and issue
* Click on the article you are looking for (blue and underlined) and it will open up

Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) reports ...

Tough new hurdle for top UK researchers

UK academics will have to have their research papers cited by their peers at least three times more than the current average rate if they are to meet the new standard for “international excellence” in research.

Credit crackdown: cases in which a senior academic takes credit as a co-author on a junior colleague’s research paper should be defined as plagiarism if he or she has not made a significant contribution to the work, it was argued this week.
