22.How to prepare paper for publication in journal with if?

1) Take some time before even writing your paper to think about the logic of the presentation. When writing, focus on a story that progresses logically, rather than the chronological order of the experiments that you did.  It is necessary to try to make simple sentences, without complication and complex terms. So that the editors could not lose time, you can find a scientist who will read your publication and write a review

2) Ask a colleague to check your work 

One of the problems that journal editors face is badly written papers. It might be that the writer’s first language isn’t English and they haven’t gone the extra mile to get it proofread. It can be very hard to work out what is going on in an article if the language and syntax are poor. 

3)  You can get published by writing a review or a response 

Writing reviews is a good way to get published - especially for people who are in the early stages of their career. It’s a chance to practice at writing a piece for publication, and get a free copy of a book that you want. We publish more reviews than papers so we’re constantly looking for reviewers.

Some journals, including ours, publish replies to papers that have been published in the same journal. Editors quite like to publish replies to previous papers because it stimulates discussion.

4) Pick the right journal: it’s a bad sign if you don’t recognise any of the editorial board

Check that your article is within the scope of the journal that you are submitting to. This seems so obvious but it’s surprising how many articles are submitted to journals that are completely inappropriate. It is a bad sign if you do not recognise the names of any members of the editorial board. Ideally look through a number of recent issues to ensure that it is publishing articles on the same topic and that are of similar quality and impact.

5) Always follow the correct submissions procedures

Often authors don’t spend the 10 minutes it takes to read the instructions to authors which wastes enormous quantities of time for both the author and the editor and stretches the process when it does not need to

6) Don’t repeat your abstract in the cover letter.

accompanying letter should not repeat information from the article. The cover letter is addressed to the editor-in-chief of the magazine. The cover letter must necessarily be signed by all authors of the scientific article. By this letter they claim that they do not violate any copyrights. also the author must approve that the article was not previously published and will not be if the editor decides to publish an article.

You shouldnt send a request in several journals at the same time, becouse they all refuse to publish an article. it is better to wait until they answer your first request.

23 Give an assessment to work of the international organization intas.

The INTAS-International Association for Strengthening Cooperation with Scientists from the Newly Independent States (NewIndependentStates) from the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was established in 1993 as an independent international organization with the aim of preserving the scientific potential within the borders of the partner countries. But on September 22, 2006 it was decided to terminate the program on the basis of the recommendation of the European Commission. From the beginning of 2007 the gradual curtailment of the fund's activities began. Despite the fact that all current INTAS programs were promised to be fulfilled, from April 1, 2007 the distribution of new grants was stopped.

The members of the organization were the countries of the European Union, Bulgaria, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Romania, Switzerland and Turkey. The partner countries are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Russia.

INTAS is a non-profit, charitable organization, exempt from taxes; was located in Brussels, financed mainly from the budget of the EU framework programs and on the basis of voluntary contributions from EU countries. The programs were aimed at solving a wide range of joint research problems for the EU and the CIS. During the period from 1993 to 1998, INTAS allocated nearly 65 million euros for scientific development.

A rigorous but affordable budget allocation procedure allows you to quickly and flexibly meet the needs of scientists from the CIS countries. Within the framework of the INTAS program, the following activities are presented:

- joint research projects and networks (associations of scientists and various research organizations) covering all fields of science (exact and natural sciences, economics, sociology and life sciences);

-conferences, seminars, meetings;

- Grants and scholarships for participation in conferences of young scientists from the CIS; Infrastructure, expanding access to research (protected unique databases), providing scientific literature;

- Dissemination and use of the results of research projects.

INTAS has developed a special system for the transfer of funds for partners from the CIS countries, which allows scholars to receive grants from local banks. The organization works directly with scientists on the basis of individual contracts, and apart from grants, finances trips, equipment and pays for other expenses. During the fund's work, more than 20,000 scientists from the CIS took part in 2,000 INTAS projects, many of them received individual grants to continue their research. 1250 joint projects were completed, high quality results were reflected in publications in many international journals, as well as in patents. Every year, INTAS allocated 4.6 million euros for accompanying events (accompanyingmeasures), which included:

- support of infrastructures, for example, the dissemination of the latest scientific articles or the preservation of unique collections of data;

- support for holding conferences that allow INTAS to evaluate completed projects;

- support for the participation of young scientists in scientific programs and conferences.

The INTAS budget until 2002 was 75 million euros, of which 70 million euros came from the Fifth Framework Program. This amount was spent on financing joint research in the following areas:

- physics (astronomy, nuclear physics, plasma physics, condensed matter physics, engineering sciences, space and sciences related to the exploration of outer space);

- chemistry and biology (life sciences and medicine, earth sciences, environment and energy);
