Do I have to go to the designated website to check for plagiarism?

210_ME1 2022-10-20

Welcome everyone to consult me about ISA-related matters. However, I hope that when applying to be friends, you can briefly introduce yourself, leave your contact information, and briefly describe your questions. I may not see the information on the website in a timely manner, but I usually check my emails frequently.

210_ME1 2022-10-20

Exclude preprints from plagiarism checks, I got the shop owner at xx store to directly exclude them, but I don't know the specific steps. For preprint articles, it might be possible to withdraw them? I don't know much about preprint articles either, so if you want to do something related, communicate directly with the editor. I can only give advice, but please refrain from posting preprint articles casually.

210_ME1 2022-10-20

I won't recommend the plagiarism-checking store mentioned, as I am concerned about potential issues and responsibility. I can only tell everyone that they can check at the xx store. You don't need to ask me which store it is.

After submitting the plagiarism report, it has been over two weeks since the editor invited Wang. We don't know what Editor-in-chief Wang is doing.

中SCI多多益善 2022-10-05

I simply searched on Baidu to find out what preprint articles are all about. Preprint articles are not considered as published. When I submitted my article before, the journal asked me to tick the agreement for preprints, so I did. Now that it has been rejected and I have submitted it to another journal, I am a bit worried if the previous journal will convert my paper into a preprint because I clicked on the agreement button.

中SCI多多益善 2022-10-05

Hello, may I ask what is a preprint article? Isn't a preprint article supposed to be published only after acceptance? Can someone please explain? I previously submitted to a journal and it was rejected, but I remember ticking the box to agree to preprint. Now I'm a bit confused. Will my rejected article be published as a preprint in the rejected journal?

Hello, can you recommend any Taobao sellers for plagiarism checking?

shi_jie 2022-09-29

How can I exclude the preprint article? I previously published a conference paper and added content to it, but it was a painful process of paraphrasing and revising. Can this also be excluded from the detection?

The time nodes for the first three rounds of minor revisions were at #94 floor, and I made a mistake by reopening the first floor.

In addition, I have previously received a review from ISA. After accepting the invitation, I am required to respond to the review within 20 days. Everyone can calculate the time when their last reviewer completes the review. My reviewers have always responded within the specified time, so most of the status changes can be predicted.

Hello, may I ask if you can submit the complete work to this journal that you previously presented a portion of at the meeting?

Rocket 爱吃红柚 2022-09-13

The entire paper should have less than 25% of content borrowed from other sources, and each individual citation should be less than 2%.

I would like to ask how much is the requirement for plagiarism check? Please, I beg you!

Submitted in April 2022, after undergoing one major revision and one minor revision, accepted in September 2022.

1. The first round of review took about 20 days, with a total of 6 reviewers providing over 30 comments. The comments on the article were very objective, with some hitting the key points. After nearly 3 months of revisions, it was resubmitted.
2. The second round of review took about 20 days, with a total of 4 reviewers. Three reviewers accepted the article directly, while one still had some minor issues.
3. The third round of review took about 15 days, and the article was accepted.

Overall, this journal's anonymous review process is very fair and the speed is fast. The reviewers' comments greatly improved the quality of the article. It is highly recommended!

Posted on November 6, 2021, after two major revisions and one minor revision, accepted on September 9, 2022.

1. The first round of peer review lasted for 4 months, major revision:
The editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, and 4 reviewers provided over 20 comments, indicating high requirements for language and innovative ideas.

2. The second round of peer review lasted for 1 month, major revision:
All reviewers from the first round had no comments, and the journal added two new reviewers. One had no comments, while the other requested major revisions with harsh language. In order to meet the demands of this reviewer, extensive adjustments were made to the logic of the entire modeling section.

3. The third round of peer review lasted for 2 weeks, minor revision:
The editor-in-chief requested the removal of certain references and conducted a plagiarism check using the ithenticate English official website. After consulting multiple sources, it was discovered that the ithenticate English official website does not provide invoices and one has to pay $100 out of pocket. It should be noted that there are some differences between the results of plagiarism checks on the ithenticate Chinese website and the English official website, but they are not significant. Everyone can decide for themselves.

4. On September 9th, it was formally accepted:
After the third revision, it took 2 days to receive the acceptance notice, which was a day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wishing everyone smooth manuscript submissions and many papers!

Supplement: ithenticate plagiarism checker, the references need to be removed.

210_ME1 2022-09-05

Received on September 3, 2022:

It was said that the plagiarism report would be received on the same day, but I waited for two weeks... It was still very painful.

Summary:
1. My editor is QingGuo Wang. I found out that he handles journal matters on every Saturday, while other dates are random.
2. Do not casually publish preprints.
3. You can check for plagiarism on Taobao. I found a reliable Taobao store on Zhihu, thanks to kind-hearted people. It costs 65 yuan for one check due to the length of my article. Since I published a preprint, although I can exclude it from the check, the abstract part cannot be excluded, and it was still very painful to revise. Therefore, I suggest not casually publishing preprints.
4. ISA Transactions has a slow review process. I probably won't submit to this journal again.
5. ISA Transactions is recommended by the Instrument Society of America.
6. The journal does not provide a Word template. Just write according to the formatting requirements. I think this journal is not very strict with the initial formatting requirements of the article. I wrote 26 pages and didn't have to pay any overlength fees. Everything is normal.
7. I have to mention the customer service of Elsevier, the publisher of ISA. Their service is excellent. They can actually chat in Chinese and even make phone calls. Their assistance was of great help when I filed a complaint!
8. I hope everyone's wishes can be fulfilled in ISA.

Articles related to measuring instruments, submitted on January 15, 2022, accepted on September 3, 2022.
1. The first round of review ended on June 11, 2022:
It should have invited two rounds of reviewers, so the first review took a long time. A total of 6 reviewers were invited, and 5 returned their opinions.
Reviewer 4 believed that the preprint article I submitted was a formal article and had already been published in another journal, so it was rejected without providing other comments.
I appealed to the editor, and the final result of the first review changed to major revisions.
I think the questions raised by Reviewer 1 were particularly good and hit the key points, while the other reviewers were average.
The revised manuscript was returned on June 29, 2022.

2. The second round of review ended on August 5, 2022, minor revisions:
I was always worried that Reviewer 4 would come up with strange new review comments, but he agreed directly, showing some conscience.
Reviewer 1 was satisfied with my response to the first review, with only a very minor issue that needed clarification.
The other reviewers all agreed to publish.
The revised manuscript was returned on August 6, 2022.

3. The third round of review ended on August 20, 2022, minor revisions:
All reviewers agreed to publish.
The editor suggested deleting the references suggested by the reviewers.
Some formatting modifications were provided.
It is required to use iThenticate to check the similarity of the article, with a full-text similarity rate of less than 25% and a single-document similarity rate of less than 2%. The similarity report needs to be directly sent to the editor via email.
The revised manuscript was returned on August 20, 2022.

I had my first trial less than two months ago, but it has been almost five months since the second trial and there is still no response. I'm getting worried!

Friday彡 2022-08-21

My editor has been absent for over two weeks... How long do I have to wait?

huangmenji 2022-08-15

No problem, after the minor repair, there won't be any major issues. Wait for good results and congratulations in advance!

huangtx1 2022-08-15

Thank you, thank you for sharing!

huangmenji 2022-08-15

I highlighted it, and I also uploaded the plagiarism report. At the same time, I declared my originality and that it has not been published in other journals.

huangtx1 2022-08-11

Congratulations! My second review result is also minor revisions. After submitting the modifications, the status has been "With Editor" for many days. Because the revisions mainly involve content duplication removal, I only submitted a clean version without highlighted modifications. Is there any problem with this? Should the revisions in minor revisions be marked in red?

huangmenji 2022-08-11

2022.7.20 resubmitted
2022.8.4 minor revision
2022.8.5 resubmitted
2022.8.9 accepted.

Took three months, the second short paper. Feels like ISA trans values theory and application, both need to be included. This way, the peer review process will be quick.

啊哦 2022-08-08

What is the result after "under review"?

啊哦 2022-08-02

Does anyone know how the status changes from "Required Reviews Completed" to "Decision in Process" and then back to "Required Reviews Completed"?
