  9. CHALLENGES • DEFINITIONAL PROBLEM • WRONG CLASSIFICATION • WRONG OUTLET • PERCENTAGE CALCULATION – It involves all listed publications including Edited Proceedings & Technical reports where applicable • MARGINAL/BORDERLINE PERCENTAGE CALCULATION

  10. SOLUTION • ALWAYS INDICATE THE PUBLISHER OF YOUR PUBLICATION IN YOUR CV • AVOID PUBLICATION BY INDIVIDUAL AND/OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS/PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS. • AVOID PUBLICATION BY STATE BRANCH • AVIOD STUDENT JOURNALS AT ANY LEVEL EVEN IF PROFESSORS ARE LISTED ON THE EDITORIAL BOARD E.G. POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS’ JOURNAL, RESIDENT DOCTORS’ JOURNALS, EITHER STATE OR NATIONAL • AVOID JOURNALS NOT FOCUSED ON A SPECIFIC ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE e.g. Wilolud Online Journals - Akure (23 disciplines), Research Communications – Lagos (20 disciplines).

  11. SOLUTION • AVOID SELF PUBLICATION - (BY PRINTERS) • AVIOD PUBLICATIONS BY NON-DEGREE AWARDING INSTITUTIONS • AVOID DUPLICATION OR REPETITION OF YOUR PUBLICATIONS. BEWARE OF SELF PLAGIARISM • DIVERSIFY YOUR OUTLET. DON’T PUBLISH MANY PAPERS IN THE SAME JOURNAL

  12. SOLUTION • PUBLISH ONLY IN COMMITTEE OF VICE-CHANCELLORS OF NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES (CVC) RECOGNIZED JOURNALS – National List is being Compiled. • AVIOD PUBLISHING WITH UNRECOGNIZED AND COMMERCILIZED ON-LINE PUBLISHERS Features: -Publishers of many titles -Asking you to nominate Reviewers -Publishing within 2 weeks of submission -Payment of charges /handling fees -$450

  13. SOLUTION • DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PUBLISHER AND ON-LINE HOST THAT WAREHOUSES ACADEMIC PUBLICATIONS– AJOL. Elsevier, Medwell. • FOR THE INDENTIFICATION OF PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS WORLDWIDE, CONSULT: * ULRICH’S PERIODICAL DIRECTORY * WEB OF KNOWLEDGE - Obtain at least 3 original copies of your publications and keep them for professorial/readership assessment NOT photocopying.
