for development of multi-national projects in education and research
The system perspective of this conceptual modeling is important for understanding the complexity and for identifying the feasible steps to improve scenario predictions and decision support.
Although the focus of the SI program is on countries in the “European Eastern Partnership” (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russian Federation, Sweden, Ukraine), we expect to include other partners with an interest in developing cooperation. In addition to Univ. Gothenburg (Sweden; coordinating) the initial PLATFORM consortium included Khazar Univ. (Azerbaijan), Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (Russia), and SWS Scholarly Society (Austria).
We do not begin with building project consortia for specific case studies because we believe the tools for integrating the correct expertise with the relevant stakeholders is essential for addressing complex issues and providing decision support.
Participants In PLATFORM will hopefully come away with both tools and networks for this process of project initiation. Specific case studies (depending upon partner interests) will become increasingly in focus once the methods have been introduced. The initiation and development of the case-study group project activities will illustrate the PLATFORM methodology for new project development.
The scope of the SGEM Conferences on Earth & Planetary Sciences combines 6 main sections: Science and Technologies in Geology, Exploration and Mining; Informatics, Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing; Water Resources, Forest, Marine and Ocean Ecosystems; Energy and Clean Technologies; Ecology, Economics, Education and Legislation Ecosystems; Nano, Bio, Green and Space - Technologies for a Sustainable Future (see all details here).
The Scientific and Program Committee selects researchers, part of the Reviewers list, to be reviewers for every SGEM event. If you are selected, you will receive an invitation from the Scientific and Program Committee for the paper’s peer review process. Then you will have an access to the Abstract & Manuscript Management System (AMMS).
A modern Abstract & Manuscript Management System (AMMS), will help each Reviewer review and evaluate abstracts and manuscripts in the easiest way in a user-friendly environment. There will be a double-blinded peer-review - very important, in order to assure a completely fair peer-review process, without any conflict of interests.
The estimated criteria in the AMMS: Within scope, Originality, Structure, Title, Abstract/Introduction, Methods, Figures and Tables, Results, Conclusion, Language.
The reviewer as well as the Scientific and Program Committee will decide:
The fair and timely review process done by the reviewers is the key factor for the selection of high-quality papers for presentation and publication. We greatly appreciate reviewers for their contribution to the success of the conference.
If you think you could fulfill these requirements and are interested in becoming a SGEM Proceedings reviewer, send us email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with all the needed documents as attached files.
We are expecting you! Be part of the big scientific SWS Society of Earth & Planetary Sciences.
If you are already a member of the big SGEM Conferences family, please write us the exact year, your published paper title and SGEM ID (preferably).
The SWS Scholarly Society International Scientific Committee dedicates itself to the broad dissemination and recognition of your scholarly work. We prioritize elevating the impact and accessibility of all articles published within our network, and do our best ensuring their prominence across a wide array of abstracting and citation databases. Our efforts aim to make these contributions readily accessible and influential within the global scientific community.
We collaborate closely with esteemed databases such as Elsevier's databases / Scopus, Clarivate Analytics' databases, ProQuest, EBSCO (Academic Search Complete), Crossref, GeoRef, Petroleum Abstracts, Google Scholar, Mendeley and RSCI (part of Web of Science), among others. The evaluation and indexation of our proceedings and journals in these and other databases are vital in presenting comprehensive insights into research trends and citation impacts, thus shaping the academic discourse.
Working with these databases and having contracts with part of them, we ensure that our authors' research receives global recognition. This commitment involves submitting conference proceedings for evaluation annually on these platforms. It’s important to note, however, that the timeline for evaluation and indexation is not within our control. It varies according to the databases’ procedures, submission volumes, and specific scientific interests of the specific databases.
We try to navigate these complexities with a nuanced understanding of the databases' expectations and timelines, ensuring that our authors' works are positioned for maximum visibility and impact. While the journey from submission to indexation may differ in length, our team remains dedicated to monitoring and facilitating every step of the process. Our proactive approach and continuous communication with these databases underscore our commitment to advancing the reach of the research we champion.
The entire peer review process takes within 2 or 3 weeks after abstract/manuscript submission, according to the number of submitted manuscripts.
Measuring Your Impact - how it will be calculated? Some basic help with Impact Factor, Citation Analysis, and other Metrics...
OVERVIEW: The term Bibliométrie was first used by Paul Otlet in 1934 and defined as "the measurement of all aspects related to the publication and reading of books and documents" The English version of this term bibliometrics was first used by Alan Pritchard in a paper published in 1969, titled Statistical Bibliography or Bibliometrics? He defined the term as "the application of mathematics and statistical methods to books and other media of communication". Bibliometrics also has a wide range of other applications, such as in descriptive linguistics, the development of thesauri, and the evaluation of reader usage.
OVERVIEW: Citation analysis has a long history, the Science Citation Index began publication in 1961 and Derek J. de Solla Price discussed the citation graph describing the network of citations in his 1965 article "Networks of Scientific Papers". However, this was done initially manually until large-scale electronic databases and associated computer algorithms were able to cope with the vast numbers of documents in most bibliometric collections. The first such algorithm for automated citation extraction and indexing was by CiteSeer.
Journal and Proceedings ranking is widely used in academic circles in the evaluation of an academic journal's and Conference Proceedings impact and quality. Journal and Proceedings rankings are intended to reflect the place of a journal within its field, the relative difficulty of being published in that journal/proceedings, and the prestige associated with it. They have been introduced as official research evaluation tools in several countries. Consequently, several Journal and Proceedings-level metrics have been proposed, most citation-based:
