En los últimos años, las aplicaciones móviles han penetrado todos los mercados de cualquier industria, razón por la que cada vez es más importante para los desarrolladores conocer las técnicas y métodos de prueba específicos para aplicaciones móviles. Dichas aplicaciones son diferentes a las de la web y de escritorio tradicionales, por lo que requieren un enfoque distinto en su construcción. Este enfoque debe generar confiabilidad en el usuario final, quien puede ser cualquier persona que utilice un teléfono inteligente. Tal situación conlleva nuevos desafíos para las empresas o personas que desarrollan aplicaciones móviles. Por este motivo, este trabajo busca reflexionar sobre los avances de las técnicas y métodos de prueba para las aplicaciones móviles, así como de los retos que las empresas y los desarrolladores pueden tener a la hora de crear una estrategia para probar sus aplicaciones y poder lanzarlas al mercado disminuyendo el riesgo de errores en producción.

Significance of proofreading
If a paper is not proofread meticulously before it is submitted, it will earn poor marks due to careless mistakes including misspelled words, typo errors, misplaced commas, a problem with subject-verb agreement etc.

Most common proofreading mistakes that leads to poor marks
#Spelling
Punctuation
#Grammar
Wrong subject/verb agreement
#Spacing errors
Non-inclusion of words from sentences

Tips for carrying out effective proofreading
One more effective tip is to read the paper backward. It is not suggested to read the words in reverse but read the paragraphs in reverse.
Ask a colleague to proofread your paper.

Las actividades en los procesos editoriales de las revistas científicas Cuauhtémoc Jiménez Pérez Mesa: Técnicas y procesos editoriales Resumen Es innegable la necesidad de profesionalización de los equipos editoriales que llevan a cabo los procesos de las revistas científicas, se conoce, también, la diversidad de perfiles de las personas que realizan dichas labores ya que son de diferentes ámbitos académicos y, de alguna manera, se adaptan para el desempeño de las funciones editoriales. Por ello, el objetivo de este ejercicio fue obtener una lista de actividades que le competen a la edición de literatura científica, en concreto, a los procesos de las revistas científicas, realizando el análisis de textos que abordan a los procesos editoriales desde diferentes perspectivas. Se consideraron 22 textos: artículos, libros, tesis y páginas web; en los cuales se encontraron palabras de referencia para realizar selección de párrafos donde se describieran actividades editoriales, en estos párrafos se delimitaron etiquetas (verbos) que permitieron finalmente la redacción de una lista de 25 tareas editoriales de las revistas científicas. Con la identificación de estas actividades es posible discutir y enriquecer los procesos (en las entidades editoriales) o las funciones (de las personas involucradas) para diseñar perfiles profesionales o, en su caso, talleres y cursos pertinentes.

The work of an academic researcher is multi-faceted, and it takes determination and willpower in order to build a reliable and professional reputation. A researchers’ path into the coveted world of academic recognition, both on national and international level, is a long and challenging task driven by sheer determination, talent and the investment of valuable time and resources. This is true for every facet of a scholars’ work, but it is especially important when publishing research. This hurdle can be overcome with a high-quality academic editing or translation job which can drastically alter the chances of publication in the academic journal of your choice. Being that over 90% of academic journals are published in English it is crucial to have the best professional academic editor or translator to English possible.

Книгата представлява теоретично изследване върху същността и типологията на стилистичните грешки – един от най-значимите, но недостатъчно разрешени проблеми в българското езикознание. Ориентирана е предимно към студентите от хуманитарните специалности на ПУ „Паисий Хилендарски” – филолози, юристи, социолози, политолози, историци и др. Основната ѝ цел е да подпомогне техните практически занимания по текстообразуване (конструиране на различни по жанр и тематика речеви продукти).
Спецификата на разглежданата проблематика, богатият илюстративен материал и най-вече подробно разработените варианти за редакции на конкретни примери от кандидатстудентски съчинения правят настоящото изследване изключително полезно за преподавателите по роден език в средното училище, които се стремят да възпитат у подрастващите умения за създаване на стилистично издържани текстове. Наред с това книгата би могла да се превърне в ценен помощник на учениците от горния курс на обучение (особено кандидат-студентите), улеснявайки тяхната самоподготовка по български език и литература.
Надяваме се дискутираните в изложението проблеми да предизвикат интереса и на по-широк кръг читатели – специалисти филолози, журналисти, редактори, издатели, културни дейци, изобщо всички, за които сътворяването на словото е нещо повече от професия.

Learning to communicate research with scholarly and scientific impact requires effective writing. This demands clear, active narrative and engaging explanation. Researchers must explain the issues they address and the actions they take to answer research questions. They must provide a careful meta-narrative to communicate their thinking and research choices. The Research Writing Workshop provides a short, easy-to-understand overview of the process we use in communicating research. The workshop slides are available here in PDF format.

In ‘An Argument for Holism Part 1’ (Nunn, 2013), I focused on the meaning of holism within applied language studies considering in detail the relationship between focused atomistic studies and holistic views of epistemological diversity (Moser’s, 2002). In addition, I compared Moser’s view of holism with ecological views. While fully accepting the importance of context, I suggested that context-independence is also a legitimate focus. As such, my characterization of ‘holism’ is more closely associated with complexity theory (Pappamihiel and Walser, 2009 and Cvetek, 2008), emphasizing the need to take the unpredictable and unstable nature of complexity into account.
In part 2, I explore the implications of views of holistic diversity in relation to just a few important areas in our field: language and discourse use, motivation, assessment, task-based curriculum and materials planning. I provide evidence and specialist support for my view that all of these areas are essentially holistic and that recent scholarship in these areas seems to require us to situate focused atomistic studies within a broader framework.

Definitions of ‘holism’ in applied language studies need to remain broad enough to allow for true epistemological diversity and reject prematurely coherent impermeable systems that do not reflect the present state of knowledge in our field. In Part 1 of this two-part paper, I focus on definitional issues arguing that the atomistic parts of any whole are related within a complex, but fluid, organic system and are more easily understood in relationship to other parts of that system. After considering the relationship between holistic and atomistic phenomena, I argue that ecological studies (Van Lier, 2002), while providing groundbreaking new insights into the holistic nature of applied language study, appear to exclude context-independence as a legitimate perspective. My definition above is therefore closely associated with Pappamihiel and Walser’s (2009) characterization of complexity theory. Epistemological diversity and complexity lead us to accept dynamism, unpredictability and instability as natural conditions of our field which cannot be ignored.

The paper describes about the usage of E-Resources available under the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium and DeLCON Consortium by the scientific community Library Users of Assam University, Silchar representing from Bio-Medical Sciences and Ecology and Environmental Sciences.Survey method has been used using questionnaire as a data collection tool and Interview in some cases. Altogether 150 questionnaire was distributed and 117 responses received. This study was conducted during January 2013 to May 2013 only. This is a comparative study of utilisation of e-resources available under these two important consortia. The survey findings reveals that e-resources available under UGC-INFONET is more popular and heavily utilised by the scientific community of Assam University Library and they prefer to access e-resources mainly from their respective department and the evening is the preferred time among the teachers , scholars and students. The library users suggested to organised regular User Awareness Programme and enhance the infrastructural facilities in the departmental and university library.

תרגום טקסט אקדמי לאנגלית

לעבודתו של חוקר באקדמיה פנים רבות וקריירה אקדמית היא קריירה בעלת שלבים רבים אותם יש לצלוח כדי לבנות מוניטין מקצועי אמין ומבוסס. דרכו של החוקר אל ההכרה המיוחלת בזירה האקדמית המקומית והבינלאומית היא ארוכה ומאתגרת ולא תמיד פשוטה, אך היא מורכבת מרכיבים של תשוקה לידע, נחישות, כשרון והשקעה. ההשקעה וההקפדה, שמאפיינים כל שלב ושלב בעבודתו של החוקר, חייבים אמנם ללוות אותו לאורך הדרך כולה, אך על אחת כמה וכמה כאשר הוא מגיע לשלב פרסום עבודתו באנגלית בכתב עת או בהוצאה לאור אקדמית. זה השלב בו עריכה נכונה או תרגום איכותי, שייעשו על ידי אנשי מקצוע המתמחים בתרגום ועריכת טקסטים אקדמיים, יכולים להגדיל את סיכויי קבלת המאמר לכתב העת האקדמי או כתב היד להוצאה.

איך לבחור מתרגם?
זה ברור, אתם רוצים למסור את משימת התרגום של העבודה שלכם למתרגם טוב, אם אפשר לטוב ביותר. אבל מיהו מתרגם טוב? מה מאפיין תרגום אקדמי טוב?

ראשית כל נתחיל בכלל הברזל; כמובן שעל המתרגם להיות בעל ידע מעמיק בשתי השפות, שפת המקור ושפת היעד, אך חשוב להקפיד שהמתרגם לא רק יידע את השפה היטב אלא שיהיה דובר ילידי של שפת היעד.

Abstract:

This article, written for the Polygraph Journal, is a condensed compilation of a germinal study that provided current successful methods for obtaining confessions during interrogations. The foundation of the study derived from active-duty police detectives that illustrated methods they used to gain confessions from suspects in criminal cases. The study also provided a literature review of past practices of renowned interrogation techniques that collaborated with oral interviews with police investigators from selective east coast and west coast law enforcement agencies.

A cosa serve l’editing? Come si realizza un progetto editoriale? Che differenza c’è tra contratto “per edizione” e contratto “a termine”? Questo manuale non solo risponde alle domande più frequenti di scrittori e traduttori ma offre una serie di consigli pratici, ed errori da evitare, per chi desidera essere selezionato e (ap)pagato anziché pagare per pubblicare.
Il manuale è diviso in cinque parti e segue passo passo l’autore dall’allestimento del manoscritto alla realizzazione di un progetto di edizione e alla promozione del libro, passando per l’analisi di un contratto editoriale, fino alle fasi salienti dell’iter di stampa. Chi dice che non esistono case editrici non a pagamento sbaglia: esistono ma è necessario saperle riconoscere e, soprattutto, sapersi interfacciare.

The paper explores the lights and shadows of the process of peer reviewing, which constitutes a crucial stage of the editorial work in academic journals and scientific publishing in general. Albeit entered recently in the Italian scientific publishing practices (particularly in the humanities), this process is an essential step which all researchers, especially the younger ones, and especially in the international scenario, have to cope with - even from the early stages of the writing itself.

Summary:
A few months ago (in July 2014), George et al. (Nyakno J. George, Joseph B. Emah, and Ekong U. Nathaniel) stole
two of my (Hilmi S. Salem) best published papers which have been widely viewed, downloaded and cited by thousands of research scientists around the world, as they are posted at "Academia.Edu. The plagiarizers (George et al.) (re)published
the plagiarized work in the "Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences", which is
published  by the University of Bahrain (UoB), Kingdom of Bahrain, and hosted and produced by Elsevier, the Netherlands. The George et al.’s acts of Plagiarism and Infringement, with respect to the George et al.’s theft of my hard-work research, are a typical example of theft of “Intellectual Property”. This is with reference to the international laws and regulations of the Intellectual Property Rights, as they are the legally recognized as exclusive rights to creations of the mind. According to “Wikipedia.Org”: Under the Intellectual Property Law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of Intellectual Property Rights include copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights, trade dress, and in some jurisdictions trade secrets. According to the Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, "Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author". Although the relationship between intellectual property and human rights is a complex one, there are moral arguments for intellectual property. This is with consideration of the arguments that justify intellectual property, which fall into three major categories, which are: 1) Intellectual property is an extension of an individual; 2) Intellectual property stimulates social progress and pushes people to further innovation; and 3) Intellectual property is justified based on deservedness and hard work (Wikipedia.Org).

This study addresses reviewer development programs at 2 Asia-based English language teaching (ELT) journals which aim to raise awareness of peer review language. Little discussion or research about competence or standards in peer review exists, so developing competence for new reviewers is difficult. This research addresses how novice reviewers of manuscripts develop an understanding of appropriate feedback language by analyzing written review discourse in reviewer development programs. Attention is paid to how reviewers are socialized into their responsibilities through interactions with review mentors,
reflecting upon their feedback to authors over several practice reviews. The focus of the analysis is on changes to review language through correspondence between mentor and mentee. The process by which this analysis has been conducted and its outcomes may carry important messages for authors,
reviewers, potential reviewers interested in the peer review process, and senior editors interested in issues of quality in peer review.

Writing and Unrecognized Academic Labor acknowledges that much of the work we do to sustain the academy remains without recognition. It demonstrates that it is not only published work that influences development and innovation in scholarship. The book rethinks the "publish or perish" system to show that good, unrecognized work is a vital part of scaffolding the growth of the academy and individual academic careers. It takes openness and transparency as a blueprint to outline plans for not only producing but also reimagining key markers of academic life, such as dissertations without anxieties of influence, conferences without directors, journals without gatekeepers, large-sample peer review, and teaching and learning beyond the university discourse. A sustainable community model of academic life should have belonged to each of us from the start.

The paper shows how error statistical theory can be deployed to grasp the deeper epistemic logic of the peer-review process. The intent is to provide the readers with a novel lens through which to make sense of the practices of academic publishing.

This article is the result of the most extensive audit of U.S. law review articles ever undertaken. It presents and discusses the findings of an audit of articles published in the top fifty U.S. law reviews from 2014–2018 inclusive. Analyzing over 4,500 articles and the demographics of almost 6,000 authors, it demonstrates through hard data that: (i) letterhead bias is a real phenomenon; (ii) some journals have high rates of publishing their own faculty’s work, a phenomenon that tends to be worse in higher-ranked journals; (iii) overseas authors stand a very low probability of being published in a top fifty U.S. law review; (iv) there is no real correlation between a journal’s ranking and the extent to which it publishes practitioner-authored work; and (v) articles in more highly ranked journals have a greater tendency toward being co-authored.
These findings reveal some hard truths about the elite U.S. law review market, grounded in hard data, both for aspiring authors and editorial boards across the U.S. They further question the integrity and credibility of the student-edited journal model and have profound implications including for hiring; promotion; tenure; performance appraisal; and the extent to which rankings, perceptions, and biases operate as surrogates for an informed assessment of merits. Institutions must do better to ensure quality journal scholarship and to protect student editors from conflicts of interest and self-serving faculty. The paper concludes that only the universal adoption of a fully blind article selection process can offer redemption.
