The selection of the “right” editor for a journal is one of the most important decisions made by OMICS Publishing Group. Anything published in the journal passes by editor’s desk. Organization is influenced by the editor and their decisions. The success of one’s own journal will depend on the performance of the editor. The job of the editor is to “make things happen!”
Editors, Executive Editors & Editor-in- Chief of journals must be senior researchers, e.g. chaired professors
The author scientific credits will be provided based on
• Rolling up a pronominal editorial board
• Calling initial articles from editorial board members
• Together with editorial board members, solicit on an ongoing basis a steady stream of articles
• Adding peer-reviewers to the peer-review database
• Assigning peer-reviewers
• Oversee the peer-review process & making sure that reviewers respond within the deadline set
• Ensure the quality of published material, through peer-review, own comments, and editing
• An editor edits, i.e. must have the superior skills to ask for revision without the reviewers decision and time to write and rewrite sometimes poorly written manuscripts.
Editor Scientific Credits
OMICS Publishing Group extends its gratitude towards the editor with the CERTIFICATE of updated SCIENTIFIC CREDITS regularly through online tracking system for fulfillment of potential Editor criteria.
The editor has been judged based on
1. Exemplary time lines (ET)
2. Quality of comments (QC)
3. Total Editorials Published (TE)
4. Justified decision (JD)
5. Suggestions to Editors/Authors (SA)
Scientific Credits for OMICS Editors Scientific Credit= Average individual credits for Exemplary time lines, Quality of comments, Suggestions to Authors, Justified decision of individual
assignments × Total Editorials Published
Average credit for overall reviewed articles (AC) = ET+QC+SA+JD/4
Total Editor Scientific Credit (SC) = AC×TE
Editor Credits can be given based on the above mentioned criteria as one of the following:
1= Satisfied
2= Good
3= Very Good
4= Excellent
5=Exemplary
Example 1:
An Editor XX has published 3 editorials and scored 2 credits for Exemplary time lines, 2 credits for Quality of comments, 3 credits for suggestions to author and 3 credits for justified decision. His Scientific Credit is calculated in the following manner.
Average credit for overall handled articles, for the four responsibilities mentioned above (AC) = ET+QC+SA+JD/4
2+2+3+3/4=2.5
Total Editor Scientific Credit (SC) = AC×TE
As his annual editorials published are three, his Scientific Credit = 2.5×3=7.5
Example 2:
A reviewer ZY has published 4 editorials and scored 2 credits for Exemplary time lines, 2 credits for Quality of comments, 3 credits for suggestions to author and 3 credits for justified decision. His Scientific Credit is calculated in the following manner.
Average credit for overall handled articles, for the four responsibilities mentioned above (AC) = ET+QC+SA+JD/4
2+2+3+3/4=2.5
Total Editor Scientific Credit (SC) = AC×TE
As his annual editorials published are four, his Scientific Credit = 2.5×4=10
