Imperial Journal of Civil Engineering (Formerly Journal of Geoinformatics and Natural Hazards (JGNH))
ISSN :2454-5317
Journal Information
While the terminology Geo-informatics is a multi-disciplinary subject concerning scientific developments & applications in the field of Geo-informatics such as - Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, Geographic Information System, Global Positioning Systems, spatial data infrastructure etc. The journal of Geo-informatics and Natural hazards (JGNH) comprising / aims to be media through which civil engineers exchange their technical and professional knowledge. The current up-to-date scientific knowledge and technical understanding of the various components are characterizing the field of natural hazards. The journal aims to serve as a permanent guide and reference source for a great variety of topics linked to numerous types of natural hazards which are being observed in different parts of the world.
In
this journal, you will learn about the different parts of a scholarly journal
article and what makes it different than a popular journal article.
A scholarly or research article is an article that
presents the findings of a study, research or experimentation. This type of
article is written by experts in a discipline for other experts in the
discipline. Scholarly articles are considered more reliable than most other
sources because the results are based on research not conjecture or opinion.
When
you are doing research, you will probably want to use scholarly journal
articles. It will depend a little on the assignment but in many situations, you
will need to find research (or scholarly) articles. So it is important that you
can identify a scholarly journal

Research Documentation:
It is important
that the authors record the results of their research in a form that its
analysis and review could be done before the publication and by other
researchers for a reasonable period after publication. Fabrication, like
reporting results that were never conducted or deceive or intent to
mislead, is a form of scientific misconduct and regarded as highly
unethical and in some jurisdictions may be illegal.
Publication Practice:
The authors should
submit their research papers in the journal’s précised format for each
publication. The information provided by the authors should be concise,
authentic and give details of the research experiments performed.
Authors should include recent research articles and bring in comparative
analysis to support their research. However, in doing so authors should
rewrite the information in their own words and represent it in a form
that supports their original work of research. This information, used
from the work of competitors, other researchers and partners, should be
citied as references in the research papers. They should also cite
publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the
reported work.
Authorship Practice:
Authorship credit
should be based on substantial contributions to conception and design,
or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; drafting
the article or revising it critically for important intellectual
content; and final approval of the version to be published. A citied
author should meet all of these criteria. Individuals that made other
contributions to the research like obtaining funds for the research,
collecting important data and materials, or co-ordinating with the
publication, are significant but do not qualify for authorship. These
individuals can be acknowledged in the research papers.
The source of funding for the research project or the
publication of the document should be stated. The author should clearly
declare that the submitted work and its essential substance have not
previously been published and are not being considered for publication
elsewhere. If a primary research report has been published, the author
should clearly state it and also mention the advancement and new
analyses or syntheses of data in the secondary research report. An
overlap of about 10 per cent is considered acceptable between such
journals.
Plagiarism is an unethical practice in the field of research
and is completely unacceptable. Authors are required to state they are
the copyright owners or they have taken the copyright owners’ permission
before submitting the research report. Any breach of copyright is not
acceptable. Besides journals, FCS also publishes Conference Proceedings
for a no fee. These are intended to serve the community as a means of
sharing the most recent work-in-progress in respective areas of
research. Conference organizers have to declare that the proceedings
will not be shared with or published in any other journal.
Editorial Responsibilities:
The editor of a
journal has a complete authority and responsibility to accept or reject a
submitted paper and is not influenced by the management or owners in
any form. The editor may confer with associate editor, co-editors and
peer-reviewers while making a decision. The editors should judge all
submissions on their scientific merit and minimize the influence of
other factors. The decision should be timely and fair irrespective of
caste, culture, origin, gender or citizenship of the author. Editors,
authors, and peer reviewers have a responsibility to disclose interests
that might appear to affect their ability to present or review data
objectively. These include relevant financial, personal, political,
intellectual, or religious interests. Editors and board members should,
whenever these are relevant to the content being considered or
published, declare their interests and affiliations. The editorial team
should not disclose any information about a submitted paper under
consideration other than to reviewers. Situations that may lead to
conflicts of interest should be avoided.
