1. Single-blinded

2. Double-blinded

3. Open review

4. Prepublication

5. Open and/or post publication

6. High volume

7. Independent

What are the seven types of peer review process?

Single-blinded

Type of peer review process where reviewers are hidden from the author but reviewers know identity of the author.

Open Review

Type of peer review process where identities of both reviewers and authors are known to each other.

Prepublication

Type of peer review process where articles are first submitted to a community of peers, who correspond with author.

Open and/or post publication

Type of peer review process that treats the process as a public conversation; the author’s ideas are made available online and readers are invited to publicly post their comments; the author can choose to adopt comments.

High volume

Type of peer review process that involves mega-journals that publish hundreds of articles per year; single editor/editorial team manages light review and could delegate more detailed review to independently managed community of reviewers; the goal is basic validity, not uniqueness or impact of research.

Independent

Type of peer review process where the review process is independent of a particular journal; reviews can be reliably verified by journals interested in a specific submission.

Double blinded

Type of peer review process where the identities of both reviewer and author are hidden from each other.

1. Laboratory notes

2. Primary journals

3. Conference preceedings

4. Scientific posters

5. Patents

6. Rapid Fire

What are the 6 different types of scholarly publications?

Laboratory notes

These are the first and fundamental application of the language of science and the basic part of sound experimental work.

Laboratory notes

It is a record of actions and thoughts that specifically notes experimental design, methods, observations, and results. It may be used in the future for verification and replication.

Laboratory notes

It is also a basis for writing laboratory reports or professional papers, applying for patents, and planning further research.

Laboratory notes

The front matter comprises the following:

• cover title

• sign-out page (witness signatures within the pages)

• instructions page, table of contents, preface, and list of abbreviations.

Content and structure are basically:

• introduction and background

• methods and materials

• observations and results

• discussion and conclusions

Primary journals

These are periodical publications that further the progress of science by reporting new research and uses standards for publication.

Primary journals

These publications are highly technical; highly specialized; contain the latest theoretical research and experimental results; and are peer-reviewed.

Primary journals

The different types of articles contained therein are:

• letters (fast-tracked research)

• research notes

• main articles

• supplemental articles (tabular)

• review articles (state of the art).

Conference proceedings

Are produced through scientific conferences usually organized by scientific/professional organizations. Here, scientists present their research developments to those in attendance. As well as sharing their own research with the scientific community, scientists keep abreast of new developments in their field obtained by their peers, and thus gather ideas for their own research.

Conference proceedings

These provide an opportunity for scientists to network with others interested in their field. Such publications are a collection of academic papers that contain contributions of presenters and are mostly published in-house.

Conference papers

These form the proceedings and contain the description of the area of inquiry; an account of what was done, why it was done, and what the outcome was; the relationship of the work to other published research in the area; relevance to the conference theme; and is of interest to the conference participants.

Scientific posters

These are large, mainly visual documents that communicate research at scientific meetings.

Scientific posters

These are meant to be short, stand-alone, and movable materials that promote interaction with interested people.

Scientific posters

It usually contains the short title, introduction, overview of approach, salient results, and acknowledgements.

Patents

These are legal documents regulating the commercial use of scientific discoveries and intellectual property, among many other things.

Patents

A government grant giving inventors exclusive rights to their inventions. These contain claims (techniques) or disclosures (utility and application).

Patents

It is an important scholarly document because it has specific technical detail, 80 percent of which are not published elsewhere.

Rapid Fire

This is a novel and popular means of succinctly sharing ideas; it is also known as Pecha Kucha, Ignite Talk, Lightning Round, and Speedy Presentation.

Rapid Fire

In this type of material, the presenter only has about 5 minutes to share the essence of the idea. It is a monologue with specifically timed visuals, which are very, very simple; has no more than 8 words on a slide, or 1-2 images; with 2-3 sentences per slide.

1. Literature search

2. Networking and collaboration

3. Presentation of research

There are three main areas in the first level of science communication where development communicators have major roles. These are?

information managers and communication specialists

These three aspects can be further categorized under the two major roles of development communicators. These roles are?

Information management

The process of accessing and gathering the necessary data (raw material); processing them into meaningful information (finished product) with suitable packaging designs; and marketing them to serve the needs of intended users (Sison, 1998).

1. Databases and digital repositories

2. Open access

3. Citation analysis

What are the following concepts related to literature search?

1. Databases and digital repositories

Tools that can help organize a collection of related data; data are structured and organized and access is provided by a database management system or DBMS.

Open access

Helps make research more accessible online by offering it for free immediately after publication.

Citation Analysis

A statistical analysis of publications that measures how often a published work is cited by other scholars. It helps gauge the importance of a publication by counting number of times it has been cited by other scholars.

conciseness, clarity, cosmetic appeal

In presenting research results, visual aids can help achieve the following. These 3 are?

Labels

Help readers locate information in a graphic and understand what it shows.

Titles

Help readers locate information in a graphic and understand what it shows. Include both a number and a description.

Photographs

Help take readers’ point of view; provide context and pointers; display the condition of the subject or show identifying marks.

Drawings

Help identify the most important features of the subject; focus on a good angle of the subject matter; and focus on key features of the subject matter.

1. tables

2. bar graphs

3. pictographs

4. line graphs

5. pie charts

To illustrate numerical information, the following may be used. These are?

diagrams and organizational charts

To illustrate logical relationships, the following may be used. These are?

1. checklists

2. tables

3. flowcharts,

4. logic trees

To illustrate process descriptions and instructions, the following may be used. These are?

1. photographs

2. screen shots

3. line drawings

4. maps

To illustrate visual and spatial characteristics, the following may be used. These are?
