Reporting the findings from research is an essential part of the research process (Meadows, 2008). After a study is complete, researchers usually write a paper to present research findings. The paper might be sent to a scientific journal to be considered for publication or presented at some conference.
Indispensable prerequisite for the publication is to ensure the appropriate audience by choice of relevant publisher. As some journals (e.g., Strategic Management Society) accept only 10% - 30% (Henderson, 2010) of submissions it might be reasonable to check their Call for Papers Section (Strategic Management Society [SMS], 2011) or Domain Statement (Academy of Management Journal [AMJ], 2011) to ensure the research problem might potentially be included in scope of publications. Title of the article, being not the least of important provisions to support the acceptance for publication, should reproduce the purport of the study as briefly and brightly as possible.
Science has a system for assessing the quality of research before it is published. This process is called peer review. Although every journal application process has its own protocols, they all follow the same basic structure.
On submission of the manuscript journal’s editor, who always has a certain level of expertise, accepts the topic relevance to the journal’s scope of subjects. After the editor confirms that the structure of the paper, contribution-to-length ratio (AMJ, 2011), and its stylistic fulfill submission requirements, he/she starts peer-reviewed process by sending the paper to the referees (reviewers) – no less than two leading experts who research and publish in the same field – asking them to assess the paper.

The updated Good Publication Practice (GPP) guideline, known as GPP3, builds on earlier versions and provides recommendations for individuals and organizations that contribute to the publication of research results sponsored or supported by pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostics, and biotechnology companies. The recommendations are designed to help individuals and organizations maintain ethical and transparent publication practices and comply with legal and regulatory requirements. These recommendations
Hand off reporting is the transfer of care of one patient from one nurse to another. During report, the nurse gives the oncoming nurse information about a patient’s health status, changes during their shift, pending labs or diagnostic tests, and overall relevant information regarding the patient’s condition and how it is being managed. During this time, the oncoming nurse has the opportunity to ask questions, clarify, or address any concerns that weren’t mentioned such as IVs and medications. The
Background on Mandatory Reporting Laws Elder abuse is causing emotional, physical or sexual harm, financial exploitation, or intentional or unintentional neglect to someone of greater age, whether it be from a family member or a stranger. Elder abuse has been a social issue for many years prior to any kind of legislation being made. Victims of elder abuse are often older adults ages 60 to 75 and the person abusing the elder is usually someone the victim knows, but could be a stranger in certain cases
Chapter 1. What Is Action Research? A succinct definition of action research appears in the workshop materials we use at the Institute for the Study of Inquiry in Education. That definition states that action research is a disciplined process of inquiry conducted by and for those taking the action. The primary reason for engaging in action research is to assist the “actor” in improving and/or refining his or her actions. Practitioners who engage in action research inevitably find it to be an empowering
poor hand off reporting and communication. Normally, a significant amount of communication takes place during nursing handoff. Sand-Jecklin and Sherman (2014) notes, “The safety of the patient can be compromised at this time” (2014, 2854). Adverse patient outcomes is a very serious matter for healthcare organizations.
1 Introduction This introduction section presents background information on the emergence of sustainability reporting and sustainability issues. Research problem discussion is also included that leads to the research objectives and research questions around which this research is proposed to be built. Further on the significant of the research and the target group that the research is aimed at are presented. 1.1 Background Nowadays, there are a lot of social, environmental and economic issues arise
Preparing and Organizing Data for Analysis The focus groups were transcribed by the third author and a thematic and semantic analysis was conducted (Berne, Frisén, & Kling, 2014). The transcription process allows the authors to be able to look at all the data for analysis. Exploring and Coding the Data The researchers conducted repeated readings of the transcripts, reviewed the transcripts to identify meaningful segments of data, collated and grouped potential themes and sub-themes, and reviewed
Overview Patient safety is a crucial component within the nursing discipline and is of utmost importance in health care. According to Kirwan, Matthews and Scott’s quantitative nursing research article, The impact of the work environment of nurses on patient safety outcomes: A multi-level modelling approach, published in 2013 in the International Journal of Nursing Studies, contributing factors that may have an impact on patient safety may include the nurse’s work environment as well as the nurse’s

Introduction Financial reporting is a basic requirement for companies worldwide. Financial reports offer investors a generalized overview of the company’s financial position. This includes the company’s investment decisions and financial performance. However, the concept of costing especially in oil drilling companies is an issue that can be hidden from potential investors. There are two fundamental costing approaches that include full-costing and successful Efforts. These two approaches form the

The Uniform Crime Reports would define crimes into two parts of offenses part A and Part B, this classification would separate the differences from intense crimes to less intense crimes for the purpose of National Statistics. There are a wide amount of agencies that frequently research, study and report their findings on juveniles who may be in trouble. In the past 75 years many more data has been collected that contributes to the knowledge of juveniles and their dilemmas. The
Introduction The following report is based on Ryanair’s environmental reporting. From my research online about airlines, I found that Ryanair are Europe’s greenest airline. I was surprised by this statement as usually you hear mainly negative publicity about Ryanair. When I researched how they were Europe’s greenest airline, I was pleasantly surprised by my findings. They have replaced a whole fleet of aircrafts which minimises CO2 emissions and reduces fuel consumption. I also found that their

Specifically, the code states that “informed consent should be obtained when the risks of research are greater than the risks of everyday life.” It is also included that in situations where individuals are illiterate, under correctional supervision, minors, have low social status, are under judicial supervision, have diminished capacity, are unfamiliar with social research or otherwise occupy a position of unequal power with the researcher, culturally appropriate steps should be
