Science Journal
Introduction:
Science is the academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is one of the world's top scientific journals.
Main Body:
The major focus of the journal is publishing important original scientific research and research reviews, but Science also publishes science-related news, opinions on science policy and other matters of interest to scientists and others who are concerned with the wide implications of science and technology. Unlike most scientific journals, which focus on a specific field, Science and its rival Nature cover the full range of scientific disciplines. Science's impact factor for 2010 was 31.364 (as measured by the Institute for Scientific Information).
Academic publishing describes the subfield of publishing which distributes academic research and scholarship. Most academic work is published in journal article, book or thesis form. The part of academic written output that is not formally published but merely printed up or posted is often called the "grey literature". Most scientific and scholarly journals, and many academic and scholarly books, though not all, are based on some form of peer review or editorial refereeing to qualify texts for publication. Peer review quality and selectivity standards vary greatly from journal to journal, publisher to publisher, and field to field.
Crisis:
A crisis in academic publishing is "widely perceived"; the apparent crisis has to do with the combined pressure of budget cuts at universities and increased costs for journals (the serials crisis). The university budget cuts have reduced library budgets and reduced subsidies to university-affiliated publishers. The humanities have been particularly affected by the pressure on university publishers, which are less able to publish monographs when libraries can't afford to purchase them. For example, the ARL found that in "1986, libraries spent 44% of their budgets on books compared with 56% on journals; twelve years later, the ratio had skewed to 28% and 72%." Meanwhile, monographs are increasingly expected for tenure in the humanities. The Modern Language Association has expressed hope that electronic publishing will solve the issue.
A scientific journal is a collection of articles written by scholars in an academic field. An editorial board reviews articles to decide whether they should be accepted. Articles in scientific journals usually cover very specific topics or narrow fields of research. Since journals are published on a regular or periodic basis they are grouped in the category called "periodicals." Electronic journals, called e-journals, are published on the Web by scholarly organizations and publishers and are made available to you from the ITC library web pages.
A scientific journal article is an original contribution that appears in a published scientific journal.
We distinguish two types of scientific journals:
ISI journals:
The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) is part of Thomson Scientific, a commercial scientific information provider, which includes the search engine and citation index Web of Science and the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) available via the ITC library website.
The ISI selects among all the journals a list of so-called ISI journals. Many institutions and organizations, including ITC, only give credit to researchers for papers published in thee journals.
There are currently about 9 000 ISI journals in all fields, about 3 700 of them in the sciences. These are selected from a much larger group of candidate journals by expert editors by a holistic process. The selected journals are referred to as ISI journals, and are listed in the master journal list and in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR).
Non-ISI journals:
Recalling the standard to qualify as an ISI journal (selectivity, review process, reputation of its editorial board, international diversity of its authorship; importance of its papers) there are journals that fail some of these (e.g. not diverse, not important) yet still have good quality control.
This is especially true for non-ISI journals published by regional or national societies whose main reason for omission from the ISI list is their narrow geographic focus. Papers in these journals may include valuable information, especially about local conditions, for example in a study area.
Conclusion:
Science is the academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is one of the world's top scientific journals which is circulationg in all over the world.
