The Scientific Article
PUBLISH, in English and/or Spanish, a scientific article derived from part of your own research results in the development of your doctoral thesis, ONLY in journals indexed in:
- JCR.
- Scopus (SJR).
- Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
- VHB Jourqual.
- European Reference Index for Humanities (ERIH plus).
- Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI).
- Carhus (for the area of Law).
The doctoral student must write the article and sign it as a doctoral student at UCAM. It must also be signed by all their supervisors. The journal must be listed as a ‘Journal’ in the impact index, the article must be listed as a scientific article within the journal, and the supervisor(s) and tutor cannot be directors or editors (principal or associate) of the journal. The same article cannot be used to pass the same activity as another doctoral student.
Person Responsible or teaching and and Assessment
The aim of this activity is for doctoral students to organise, synthesise, analyse and publish their own research results in high-quality scientific journals. This activity will enable doctoral students to familiarise themselves with the process of writing and reviewing a scientific article for publication in high-impact journals.
Competencies
CB11: Systematic understanding of a field of study and mastery of the research skills and methods related to that field.
CB12: Ability to conceive, design or create, implement and adopt a substantial research or creation process.
Each doctoral student, guided by their supervisor, will select the results suitable for publication, the journal to which the article will be sent (of which their supervisor or tutor cannot be the director, editor or reviewer), and the timing of the submission. Participation in this activity will be recorded once the article has been accepted for publication and the published article has been uploaded to Laurea Academic.
The activity is completed when the student publishes the article and uploads it to Laurea Academic, together with a screenshot of the journal's impact in the database in which it is included. The academic committee will not approve the deposit if the article is not uploaded to Laurea Academic. Only if the doctoral student is going to deposit the article before publication will the committee be able to take into account the letter of acceptance signed by the editor of the journal and uploaded to Laurea Academic.
