Copy Editing Research Articles

Introduction of Open Journal System in the Framework of Supporting Scientific Publications for Physical Education Teachers Kuburaya District, West Kalimantan

One way to improve teacher professionalism is by encouraging teachers to write. The next step, once the writing is completed, is to publish it. Publishing before 2019 was still mostly done manually using printed journal books. Starting from 2019 until now, journals have begun to switch to online publishing. With online publishing, teachers automatically have to understand the procedures that apply in the open journal system (OJS) when sending articles. To bridge this need, Community Service is carried out so that teachers understand OJS which is now starting to become grounded. At least material on how to adjust templates, do submets, go through the process of review, copy editing, publishing and fees as a writer. This series of activities was given to teachers with the result that all teachers 100% understood the processes that occurred in the OJS journal.

THE IMPACT OF PARENTAL MENTAL VIOLENCE ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION OF EARLY CHILDHOOD

Psychological violence has a negative impact on early childhood. Many families cover up violence against young children in front of other people because they think it is their right to privacy. The purpose of this research is to explore the causes of psychological violence in young children in the family. The data in this article is presented descriptively which indicates a scientific study that can be further developed and applied. The object of writing a description in this article is about the problem of the impact of parental mental violence on the psychological condition of early childhood. The technique used in data collection begins with collecting relevant references, both in the form of written texts and soft copy editions, such as scientific journals, ebooks, online articles, and government publications. Soft copy edition references can be obtained from internet sources accessed online. After searching for references that are relevant to the data needed, then the authors analyze the existing data. The results of this study are children who experience mental violence have a tendency to imitate the behavior of their parents. Children will be more aggressive towards their peers. The child will transfer his aggressive feelings to his friends as a result of poor self-concept. This of course will also have an impact on social relations. Children prefer to be alone, have few friends, and enjoy disturbing adults. Examples of disturbing adult behavior such as throwing stones or other criminal acts.

Omit needless words: Sentence length perception.

Short sentences improve readability. Short sentences also promote social justice through accessibility and inclusiveness. Despite this, much remains unknown about sentence length perception-an important factor in producing readable writing. Accordingly, we conducted a psychophysical study using procedures from Signal Detection Theory to examine sentence length perception in naive adults. Participants viewed real-world full-page text samples and judged whether a bolded target sentence contained more or fewer than 17 words. The experiment yielded four findings. First, naïve adults perceived sentence length in real-world text samples quickly (median = 300-400 ms) and precisely (median = ~90% correct). Second, flipping real-world text samples upside-down generated no reaction-time cost and nearly no loss in the precision of sentence length perception. This differs from the large inversion effects that characterize other highly practiced, real-world perceptual tasks involving canonically oriented stimuli, most notably face perception and reading. Third, participants significantly underestimated the length of mirror-reversed sentences-but not upside-down, nor standard sentences. This finding parallels participants' familiarity with commonly occurring left-justified right-ragged text, and suggests a novel demonstration of left-lateralized anchoring in scene syntax. Fourth, error patterns demonstrated that participants achieved their high speed, high precision sentence-length judgments by heuristically counting text lines, not by explicitly counting words. This suggests practical advice for writing instructors to offer students. When copy editing, students can quickly and precisely identify their long sentences via a line-counting heuristic, e.g., "a 17-word sentence spans about 1.5 text lines". Students can subsequently improve a long sentence's readability and inclusiveness by omitting needless words.

Still A-Masing [Microwave Bytes

Publication lead times being what they are, I now find myself hurriedly rewriting my introduction to this offering, having originally submitted a jaunty little opening paragraph in which I made some comments about Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. Then, having gone through the statutory process of copy editing and just about ready to roll the presses, Her Majesty passed away. Given that coverage of such “current affairs” is in any case well outside my remit I will revert, with due reverence, to my original copy.

The launch of Seismica: a seismic shift in publishing

Seismica, a community-run Diamond Open Access (OA) journal for seismology and earthquake science, opened for submissions in July 2022. We created Seismica to support a shift to OA publishing while pushing back against the extreme rise in the cost of OA author processing charges, and the inequities this is compounding. Seismica is run by an all-volunteer Board of 47 researchers who fulfil traditional editorial roles as well as forming functional teams to address the needs for technical design and support, copy editing, media and branding that would otherwise be covered by paid staff at a for-profit journal. We are supported by the McGill University Library (Québec, Canada), who host our website and provide several other services, so that Seismica does not have any income or financial expenditures. We report the process of developing the journal and explain how and why we made some of the major policy choices. We describe the organizational structure of the journal, and discuss future plans and challenges for the continued success and longevity of Seismica.

『대동여지도』 모사본의 형태와 유형 연구

This paper aims to research on the 18 map-copies which are the transcript-edition of Daedongyeojido (大東輿地圖, 1861). In the relationship with the woodblock print, there are cases which are simply copied. In other cases, errors on maps were corrected. And in some cases the map folder system was changed, and the toponyms with the geographical notes were added. Based on the form and contents, the maps were classified into four types. Among them, a group of modified copy edition in which four maps were included has common characteristics in terms of form and contents. The size and geographical contents of those maps show that this transformation was modeled after a woodblock edition in the National Diet Library, Japan. Even though many of the geographical names and notes were originated from the previous manuscript editions of large-scale Joseon maps, newly added notes contain the historical geography of Joseon. The fact that those manuscript copies were made in the 19th century shows that there was a continuous demand for Daedongyeojido. And the addition of contents in maps is for the overcome of the limitations of woodblock maps.

Students’ Acceptance Level of Digital Newspaper Publication Performance Assessment Innovation

The alternative assessment was implemented in the Editing Course (AK20903) to analyze students’ group achievement in digital skills. This core course is compulsory for all second-year communication (UH6321001) students to prepare them with the skills of writing, analyzing, and copy editing. Students' digital skills are assessed through the publication of a digital newspaper that uses graphics applications provided by the university. However, this software can only be accessed within the campus area. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the landscape of student locations where students are no longer within the coverage area where the software is accessible. To address this issue, the Canva application is being tried out. This study employs a quantitative approach with a sample of 124 respondents consisting of current students who are registered in the AK20903 (Editing) course. This study aims to analyze the acceptance level of the students of the introduced innovation. To collect the data a set of four parts questionnaire was used that included the demographic information, perception of user-friendly, perception of usability, and students’ satisfaction. The results showed that most of the respondents highly agreed that perception of usefulness, perception of usability, and users’ satisfaction are the factors that influenced their acceptance of the innovation performance assessment of digital newspaper publications. The findings of the study indicate that students’ acceptance of the innovation performance assessment of digital newspaper publishing is influenced by the benefits and usability gained from the use of Canva.

Introducing the Australian Journal of Taxonomy, a new, fully-online, fully open-access journal for the rapid publication of new Australian species and other taxa

With this paper we introduce the Australian Journal of Taxonomy and outline its scope, rationale, workflow and governance. The journal is published by Taxonomy Australia, a national collaboration by the Australian taxonomic community. Australian Journal of Taxonomy is one of the world's first fully-online journals. Papers are born-digital and born-online: they are authored on the Australian Journal of Taxonomy online platform, and all subsequent steps (peer-review, editing, copy editing and publication) take place on that platform. At no stage does a paper in Australian Journal of Taxonomy need to exist as a document in a word-processing application. This fully-online processing substantially eases and accelerates workflows, and reduces the costs of production and publishing to a minimum. For these reasons, Australian Journal of Taxonomy is also diamond open access, with no access charges for either authors or readers. Australian Journal of Taxonomy is optimised for the rapid publication of new Australian taxa across all eukaryotic organismal groups (animals, fungi, plants etc.), and is part of the overarching strategy of Taxonomy Australia to substantially accelerate the discovery and taxonomic documentation of Australia's biodiversity.

Publishing Without Exclusive Rights

Journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights. Or, they don’t need them for publishing. They don’t need them to make a work public or to add value in the form of peer review, copy editing, metadata, formatting, discoverability, or preservation. Nor do they need them to make enough money to pay their bills and grow. Publishers only need exclusive rights for monopoly control over the published work and any revenue it might yield. Publishers who say they need exclusive rights are saying they need this monopoly control. The best evidence that journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights is that so many peer-reviewed journals do without them, for example, open access journals using CC-BY.

Notes and Correspondence

Guston, Anne DeLong, Curt Herrl, Lorna Piatti-Farnell, Sam Hirst, Anna Tahinici, Ed Cueva, Brianna Anderson, and Laken Brooks Charles L. Elkins (1940-2021) It saddens me to report the death, this past December, of Charles Elkins (Chuck to just about everyone but me, including his loving and beloved wife, Mary Jane). Charles was co-editor of SFS during much of my tenure in that capacity, starting in 1982. By then our predecessors had largely or totally dropped out. Dale Mullen, SFS's inspirational source and sine qua non, was the first to leave: health considerations had made it impossible for him to continue the arduous (and literally back-breaking) work of seeing to SFS's actual production (copy editing, printing, record keeping, and mailing inter alia). Dale, of course, returned in 1990-1991 to save SFS from extinction. Darko Suvin subsequently reduced his role, at least seemingly, to that of Contributing Editor while continuing to be a conduit for essays/articles. And Marc Angenot's "leave of absence" proved to be permanent. Dale's departure had dictated moving all of SFS's operations from Terre Haute to Montreal. That posed an intractable problem for Charles's and my co-operation, given the continuous pressure of publishing deadlines. The two of us, though in the same time zone, were 1,500 miles apart. And in 1982, the Apple computer had barely left Steve Jobs's garage, and the Internet wasn't even a figment of someone's imagination (at least so far as I know). We therefore decided, Charles and I, that he would deal mostly with book review(er)s. And he continued to do that, scrupulously, for the next five years (maybe more). My brain still retains film footage, as it were, of my first meeting with Charles. And while there's no date stamp, this must have been in 1980 at the initial Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts, held in the vicinity of Florida International University (where Charles taught for several decades and also put in a stint as a Dean). My brain hasn't retained a sound track of our meeting, but I'm sure that, inter alia, we discovered our shared admiration for Kenneth Burke, whom Charles knew personally. (I found out only a few days ago that the University of Pennsylvania holds their correspondence.) We also must have talked about Southern California, where he spent his early years and where I had gone to grad school. Charles had a rather distinctive voice which I found to be extraordinarily well-suited to conveying his mindset—a voice capable of at once expressing both amusement and (when called for) moral outrage. One instance in particular remains firmly in my memory. In talking with me, telephonically, about his first heart attack (my recollection is that it occurred 25-30 years ago, but Mary Jane says it was closer to 40), he told me that as he was lying on a hospital corridor gurney, a doctor filling a syringe asked: "Do you know how much this anticoagulant costs?" And then, uninvited, answered his own question: "$20,000." That made me furious: not at the price per se (which I subsequently found out was 50 times more than that of the same-purposed, but more efficacious, med. generally used in Europe), but because it hadn't occurred to Dr. Thoughtless to ascertain that his patient had medical insurance [End Page 200] before volunteering the price info. Charles instead found the whole bizarre incident mildly funny. Likewise self-revelatory is his October 2021 response to Art Evans's news re: the republication of one of Charles's early SFS essays. He expressed astonishment that anyone would be interested in his 1976 article on Asimov and would be willing to pay for its reprint. "Wow," he said, "maybe I should frame the check!" Charles didn't leave behind a long (auto)bibliography. Apart from a book on Robert Silverberg, his publications consist mostly of a relatively small number of essays and a larger number of book reviews. But I am not aware of any version of, say...

Women's Knowledge of Cervical Cancer: A cross-sectional study in Al Buraimi Governorate, Oman.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess knowledge of cervical cancer and its prevention among Omani women aged 20–65 years.MethodsThis cross-sectional study took place across eight primary healthcare institutions in Al Buraimi Governorate, Oman, between November 2018 and February 2019. It was carried out on the basis of a predesigned, validated and self-administered questionnaire containing 55 questions.ResultsData from 791 completed questionnaires were included in the final analysis, which represents a response rate of 79.1%. The results indicated that 86.7% of surveyed women had previously heard of cervical cancer and 13.0% expected this disease to affect them in the future. The results also showed that women were less aware of the association between the human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer (24.7%). The participants considered the HPV infection and initiation of sexual intercourse below 17 years of age as the lowest risks associated with cervical cancer. Moreover, 63.8% of the participants were unaware of the availability of a vaccination ‘against HPV-related cervical cancer’ and many respondents were unaware of a Pap test. Those women aged over 30 years, married and with a high level of education were more likely to be aware of cervical cancer.ConclusionGenerally, there was inadequate knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer among women aged 20–65 years. Young women aged 20–30 years showed relatively lesser knowledge of cervical cancer as compared to their older counterparts. Thus, concerted efforts are needed to promote such awareness among women in Oman.
