  Macrothink Institute encourages Doctoral Students to Join Open Access World 

  What Is The Macrothink Institute?

  Dedicated to scientific publications and promotion of scientific research, Macrothink Institute publishes research studies in their online, free-for-all scholarly journals. As a comparatively new scholarly publisher, Macrothink aims at providing significant contributions to the current scientific development in this digital era. Considering the many downsides of traditional scholarly journals, Macrothink Institute decided to create an online journal to keep up with the new trend for scientific publications.

  How Are The Current Scholarly Publications Doing?

  Although current research journals are doing great and certain organizations are doing a great job at creating awareness for scientific scholarly research, but they have their disadvantages. Print journals usually require large amounts of money to be poured in for tasks like printing and promotion. However, compared to digital journals, traditional journals are still less efficient. Another aspect, which needs to be highlighted here, is that traditional scholarly journals have a very limited distribution, which means they are only distributed in a small, scientific community, which in not the case with online journals like Macrothink.

  Why Should Students Submit Papers In Doctoral Phase?

  Well, for a number of reasons. First, it gives students a chance to become a significant part of the academic community by making their contributions, it provides ample awareness and helps create recognition for their work. Additionally, it also gives them the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary community who are more than glad to give their feedback from peers and reviews as well as from experienced senior scientists. Submitting papers online in the doctoral phase also allows students to have exceptional and diverse exposure from cultures and areas of study from around the globe.

  Macrothink- Strong Sense Of Responsibility-Serious Publisher

  Macrothink Institute came in to existence after realizing some common flaws in the traditional journals like high costs and very limited exposure. From then onwards, they started their online journal, which are not only cost effective but also provides great exposure to scholarly researchers from around the world. In addition, there was a need to adapt a way for publishing journals to stay up to date with the trends of the digital age. This depicts serious dedication on Macrothink’s behalf that they came up with a convenient and easy solution.

  A comparatively new player in the online scholarly journal publishers, Macrothink Institute has stayed on the top since its inception. Recognizing the need for a simple solution, the publisher also minimized its administrative system. Parallel to these efforts, the online presence also allows Macrothink to bring in work from a wide range of cultures and research areas.

  All these efforts show that Macrothink Institute is a serious publisher, with a purely supportive approach rather than concentrating on profits. All journals and research studies published on Macrothink’s website are open to all readers who have access to the internet, no subscription, or payments means a great opportunity for scholarly researchers to establish their name in the academic community.

  Macrothink Institute Support Federal Spending Bill Expands Research Funding 

  What is Macrothink Institute?

  Macrothink Institute is a private online publisher dedicated to the spread of knowledge through open access scholarly journals and articles. All of Macrothink Institute‘s journals are open to the general public for download to aide in their research.

  The online publisher is one of publishers who are in support of the new Federal Spending Bill. The bill, among other things, makes it mandatory for Labour and Health Service funded research to be open for viewing to the general public for free within a year after publishing.

  The Policy’s Impact on Publishers and Authors

  However, the Macrothink Institute supports the bill’s major directive i.e. to make more scholarly journals open for public viewing. This is due to the belief by the publisher that free flow of information is an essential step in the advancement of any field.

  By allowing open access to peer reviewed research, not only do authors of the articles gain more exposure due to their work being more widely circulated, but less noteworthy scholars may be able to establish a base on the findings of their peers.

  The bill will also help those agencies whose research budget had been cut short earlier, such as the Institute of Museum and Library Services, who were cut short of funding back in 2013. This allocates more budgets to agencies, thereby promoting advancements in their respective fields.

  Macrothink Institute’s Corporate Responsibilities

  Macrothink Institute firmly believes that electronic journals are the next step in the free flow of information due to the numerous advantages they have over traditional paperback journals, including lower paper waste, lower cost and a more organized reviewing process. The latter two are especially beneficial for authors who might be dissuaded from sharing their work due to these stipulations.

  The online publisher hopes for scholars from different parts of the world to share their ideas and research for more coordinated development. Thanks to their catalogue of scholarly journals, all of which have been peer reviewed and go through an extensive editorial process, scholars from all over the world can access high quality journals just using an internet connection.

  And best of all, there is no subscription fee or payment whatsoever; all of the articles at Macrothink Institute are free of cost and accessible for everyone. New online publications such as this have made it possible for easier access to scholarly journals. And thanks to the new bill, more agencies can now fund research with a higher allocated funding.

  How the Macrothink Institute Protects Intellectual Property 

  Macrothink Institute (Linkedin) offers scholarly journals and books that cover a broad range of fields like sciences, education, social sciences, engineering and business. Through its publications,Macrothink Institute aims at providing professionals with the latest research findings of their peers. They also sponsor, promote and offer financial assistance to researchers, students, international networks and corporations.

  When it comes to journal publication, Macrothink Institute takes thorough measures to ensure that all publishers, editors, authors and reviewers abide by the strictest ethical guidelines. As a result, a strong network of knowledge is established between researchers from across the globe. The following lines will further explain how this Canadian organization ensures the authenticity and integrity of intellectual property.

  Macrothink’s Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

  Journal publishers should be dedicated to supporting the efforts of the editors, authors and reviewers. If you are one, you should make sure that the publication process is smooth and free from hurdles. In addition, you need to ensure that all the entities working on the journals carry out their ethical duties.

  For Editors
  The Macrothink Institute has established a set of responsibilities for journal editors:

  • The editor should acknowledge receipt of submitted manuscripts within two working days of receipt and ensure an efficient, fair, and timely review process.
  • The editor should ensure that submitted manuscripts are processed in a confidential manner, and that no content of the manuscripts will be disclosed to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
  • The editor should recuse himself or herself from processing manuscripts if he or she has any conflict of interest with any of the authors or institutions related to the manuscripts.
  • The editor should not disclose the names and other details of the reviewers to a third party without the permission of the reviewers.
  • The editor has the right to make the final decision on whether to accept or reject a manuscript with reference to the significance, originality, and clarity of the manuscript and its relevance to the journal.
  • The editor should by no means make any effort to oblige the authors to cite his or her journal either as an implied or explicit condition of accepting their manuscripts for publication.
  • The editor should not use for his or her own research any part of any data or work reported in submitted and as yet unpublished articles.
  • The editor should respond promptly and take reasonable measures when an ethical complaint occurs concerning a submitted manuscript or a published paper, and the editor should immediately contact and consult with the author. In this case, a written formal retraction or correction may also be required.

  For Authors
  As an author, Macrothink bounds you to the following ethical guidelines:

  • The author should not submit concurrent manuscripts (or manuscripts essentially describing the same subject matter) to multiple journals. Likewise, an author should not submit any paper previously published anywhere to the journals for consideration. The publication of articles on specific subject matter, such as clinical guidelines and translations, in more than one journal is acceptable if certain conditions are met.
  • The author should present a precise and brief report of his or her research and an impartial description of its significance.
  • The author should honestly gather and interpret his or her research data. Publishers, editors, reviewers, and readers are entitled to request the author to provide the raw data for his or her research for convenience of editorial review and public access. If practicable, the author should retain such data for any possible use after publication.
  • The author should guarantee that the works he or she has submitted are original. If the author has used work and/or words by others, appropriate citations are required. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
  • The author should indicate explicitly all sources that have supported the research and also declare any conflict(s) of interest.
  • The author should give due acknowledgement to all of those who have made contributions to the research. Those who have contributed significantly to the research should be listed as coauthors. The author should ensure that all coauthors have affirmed the final version of the paper and have agreed on its final publication.
  • The author should promptly inform the journal editor of any obvious error(s) in his or her published paper and cooperate earnestly with the editor in retraction or correction of the paper. If the editor is notified by any party other than the author that the published paper contains an obvious error, the author should write a retraction or make the correction based on the medium of publication.For Reviewers

  Like everyone working on a journal, a reviewer has a few set of ethical guidelines to comply with:

  • If the reviewer ever feels unqualified for the task, cannot meet the deadline or feels a conflict of interest due to personal or academic relationships, they should notify the editor and excuse themselves from reviewing the document.
  • As a Macrothink reviewer, you should ensure the confidentiality of manuscripts.
  • You should be objective and avoid personal criticism of the author.
  • You shouldn’t use your own research or any data in the submitted yet unpublished documents.
  • In case you notice similarities between the document you’re reviewing and another article that has been published or is under review, you should alert the editor.

  Policy for Copyright

  To further ensure that all the entities working on its journals are performing their ethical duties, Macrothink enforces a zero-tolerance plagiarism policy. As a result, the organization first checks potential entries through the CrossCheck plagiarism tool from iThenticate. If they are plagiarism-free, submissions are then sent to reviewers.

  If you’re interested in submitting your research to Macrothink Institute, rest assured that you’ll be entrusting your work to a serious publisher with a strong sense of responsibility. However, remember to abide by its ethical guidelines first.

  Macrothink Institute: Supporting Open Access Rulemakings by US Federal 

  Macrothink Institute (Linkedin) was created with the aim of developing and publishing science and research. And since then, they have been working hard to achieve this purpose. Macrothink publishes online journals which are accessible to readers all over the world. They have taken the digital era to a new level by making full use of it for educational purposes. They understand the need and preference of the online journals over print media, which is why they constantly work to improve it.

  The major difference between Macrothink Institute and other academic publishers is that they have minimized the need for administrative system. They also work with the best scholars from all over the world, who want to publish their research projects. Not only do they work with international authors, they also allow people from all corners of the planet to access their journals and publications. They believe in using the cultural diversity to increase opportunities for research and education.

  Macrothink not only published research writings, they also sponsor, promote and offer financial assistance to researchers, students, international networks and corporations.

  US Federal Open Access Rulemaking means that most federal agencies will be required to come up with their own brand rules and processes. All publishing companies and others would also have to come up with ways to become a part of this rulemaking scheme.

  The basic idea behind the rulemaking process is the development, publication of rules and the submission of comments. The agencies would need the submission of written comment content, which means that there will be a need to collect comments as quickly as possible. But as of yet, this is not definitive. The end result of all of this would be that all the authors as well as publishers would need to inform about every article that is published through agency funding.

  What would happen is that the chances of lawsuits would reduce as policies will be written with clear cut honesty. The law would help bridging the distance between agencies and industries. The budget required to deal with Open Access Rulemaking has not yet been set and there is no certainty about whether or not there will be any regulatory review system.

  But whatever the case may be, this way of open rulemaking is about to hit the shores of publishing agencies and they should be well prepared to deal with it.

  The reason why Macrothink Institute supports this Open Access Rulemaking introduced by US Federal system, is that it gives way to positive communication with their customers and readers. They are a rigorous and serious brand of publishers who propose open and honest policies, beneficial not only to themselves but others as well.

  Macrothink Institute wants to improve the workings and publishing of scientific literature in scholarly journals and will always be in support of systems that cater to this need.
