It covers the entire publication and ethics paeper proposed by UGC in PhD course work

1. RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION ETHICS
 Major Ethical Issues In Scientific Research.
 Development Of Different Research Metrics

2. Ethics In Researches.
 “It Is The Branch Of Philosophy Which Deals
With Dynamics Of Decision Making
Concerning What Is Right & Wrong.”
 Deals With “Protection Of Dignity”(गरिमा की
सुिक्षा)

3. 1. Informed Consent.

Voluntariness (स्वेच्छाधीनता) Are The Four Essential Parts Of A Consent.

4. 2. Benificence Vs. Non-malificence
 “If The Research Finding Prove That It Was Not Beneficial As It Is
Expected This Can Raise Immense Ethical Consideration Especially
In Biological Sciences. - E.H. Carr
 Non- Maleficence Requires A High Level Sensitivity To Realise
Harms.
 Harm- Physiological, Emotional, Social, Economical
 The Risk-benefit Ratio Should Always Be Less Than 1.
 Risk≥ Benefit Then Study Should Be Revised.

5. 3. Anonymity & confidentiality
Rights Of Beneficence, Dignity & Fidelity.
If Anonymity Is Impossible Then Confidentiality.
It Becomes Challenge In A Case Where Conduct Is
Personal & the Sample Is Smaller. ( Acid Attack

Child Labour, Prostitution,Age Injustice Etc.

8. Research metrics
Fundamental Tools To Measure Performance Of A Research
Article Both At Journal Level And Author Level.
Citation-based Metrics Vs. Usage-based Metrics.
Usage Based Metrics- Taylor And Francis Group, JSTOR,
EBSCO Are Some Platforms That Provide Data On Usage.
Altmetrics Attention Score- Attention, Influence & Impact In
Research Society.

9.  Clarivate Analytics (USA-2008) Earlier
Thomson Healthcare.
 Acquired “Institute Of Scientific
Indexing” In 1992 (Earlier Documation)
And Turned Thomsan Scientific.
 Web Of Science Database-
 Jcr- Journal Citation Reports-
 Impact Factor (1960s 2 Year Window)
 Eigen Factor (2007) – Network Theory,
No Self Citation,
 Article Influence Score-first 5 Year.
 Elsevier Analytics (Netherland-1880)
 Scopus Database 2004
 The Lancent, Cell, Science Direct
 H-index - Perseverance, Self Citation
 Citescore- (3 Year Window)
 SJR (Scimago Journal Rank)- Value Of The
Sources That Cite It.
 Snip (Source Normalized Impact Per
Paper)- Twice A Year
