Alternative Method for Evaluation of DaGang Deep Drilling Applications

Deeper oil and gas drilling is one of the main concerns caused by of the exploration and development updated technologies and problems. The high cost of deep drilling followed by the complex geological conditions in deep strata of the DaGang oilfield leads some researchers to suggest some decision making methods for evaluating the DaGang deep drilling applications. This article tries to strengthen the mention studies, with suggesting and testing an alternative decision method. Compare to previous studies with complex multi-criteria mathematical decision making methods, the suggested method of this article is more mathematical user friendly and more suitable for design makers with less mathematical knowledge. This article suggests and tests theSimple Additive Weighting (SAW) method which is a valid accurate method of decision making. KEYWORDS: Deep drilling; DaGang oilfield; Simple Additive Weighting (SAW)

Publication Phishing: A Growing Challenge For Researchers And Scientific Societies

Publication phishing has the potential to develop further into a serious gainful enterprise if effective security measures are not in place. Be that as it may, there is growing concern over the erosion of users’ trust towards journals, conferences and other channels of publication stemming from the rise in scam cases involving users’ money, research articles and personal identifications. Phishing is becoming a major issue for users and will be making an ever greater and prominent issue for good scientific societies who need to devise anti-journal hijacking measures to mitigate the impacts of phishing to their operations. Researchers and scientific societies need to design adequate technical security systems to mitigate phishing threat to users. This note highlights some issues and basic steps to anti-phishing educators and scientific societies to ensure the viability of anti-phishing initiative

Fake Graduates

There is growing concern regarding the erosion of industries’ trust in the reliability and validity of university graduates. Fake graduates are described in this letter. This article endeavors to warn of a new version of the scholarly black market, in which theses and dissertations are sold to students seeking to graduate under false pretenses

Basic Developments of Quality Characteristics Monitoring

Process control tools are a widely used approach in many operations and production processes. Process control chart ranks as one of the most important theories used in these disciplines. This paper reviewed the bias of quality characteristics monitoring. Specifically, this study tries to provide a comprehensive understanding of theories of process control. The text starts with a theoretical review of statistical process control theories and follows by a technical introduction to developed tools for process control

Mini Literature Analysis on Information Technology Definition

Experience of authors highlights a lack of generally accepted definition of information technology, between scholars and in their research reports. In this study, authors aim to review information technology studies to conclude a comprehensive definition to fill the mentioned gap in this part of knowledge.

A scientometrics-based journal Management framework: A strategic move

Managing a scientific journal is a critical and challenging service for academics and practitioners. There must be a way for journal editors to gain a clear picture of their publication’s performance and gain insight into how they can make improvements to expand the journal’s impact. Knowing the journal’s performance and its leading contribution to a particular field can be useful for journal managers readers, authors, and science policymakers. This article presents a management framework informed by scientometrics and bibliometrics as a science that uses statistical techniques to analyze information distribution models, to help journals contribute more to the field by optimum engagement of editorial knowledge and expertise and expanding the boundaries of what is known. We examined one prominent journal as a case study in this paper. The outcomes are used to assess the feasibility of the proposed framework. The top contributions of the case journal are identified systematically, and strategies for potential growth are proposed accordingly. Based on the findings, this study not only provides an overview of the benefits of scientometrics-based journal management but also provides recommendations to strengthen the journal’s impact on the field as a contribution to practice. As a result, this article is intended to benefit publishers, journal editors, readers, and policymakers
