Greetings prof wip7 et al. Pls I need clarification on this Candidate must have a Bachelor Degree with First Class (Honours) or Second Class (Honours) Lower Division and Master degree in relevant discipline. Does it mean if one graduated with a first class, the masters degree is not mandatory? Thus requirement is for the role of Assistant Lecturer at the ongoing FUPRE Recruitment 1 Like |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 5:16am On Aug 14, 2020 |
Houston17: Although what the university wants is not very clear; however, it seems so that first classholder will be taken directly or second class lower division holders with a master degree. Best wishes 3 Likes |

Good day Prof WIP, well-done for the impact you are making on us. Please.. 1. Sir, how good is cogent environmental science journal (Taylor's and Francis group) 2. Also which Turkish public University will you recommend for Environmental Engineering PhD studies by international students (interms of easy admission, English language instruction medium, location and of course good quality of education) My dream is to have my PhD in Turkey or any good University abroad. Bsc (second class upper) Msc (PhD grade/5.5 of 7 GP scale) one Conference and Three journal papers published. Thank you sir. 3 Likes |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 7:36pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
mustyy: Cogent is open access journal meaning they will charge you for publishing with them. Currently, it has no impact factor and only indexed under ESCI (emerging science citation index). For me, I wont publish in this journal, what are my reasons: 1. No impact factor and low metrics 2. I will never pay 1$ to publish any paper; rather I will publish in journal where I will be paid around 1000-3000$ by my university and Turkish goverment. 3. There are over 100 environmental science journals with better impact for now and free of charge to publish like Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Environmental Science, Environmental Pollution etc 2. Also which Turkish public University will you recommend for Environmental Engineering PhD studies by international students (interms of easy admission, English language instruction medium, location and of course good quality of education) I dont have any specific university to recommend, you can apply to any of the university of your choice provided it has your course and have the facilities you want and you can afford it.

Good day all, it's really nice to locate a thread like this for PhD students. B.Sc Industrial Chemistry M.Sc Industrial Chemistry M.Sc Materials for Energy and Environment PhD Chemical Engineering (in view) My research interests are in: photocatalytic water treatment (major), photocatalytic organic synthesis, plastic depolymerisation and titanium dioxide application. Two published papers in peer-reviewed international journals with one as first author. One under review and one in writing stage. I wished I had joined nairaland and followed this thread some years ago. I feel like crying but it is not too late as I am in my final year in UK. @ prof wip7 and fellow researchers, you are doing a great job to have sustained this thread for over 6 years. I am looking forward to doing a postdoc in biomass conversion or plastic depolymerisation/conversion anywhere in the world. 5 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 2:57pm On Aug 15, 2020 |
Katlyst: Impressive emerging profile. Expand more on your publications especially on the areas you intend to undertake a postdoc. The biomass conversion is impressive research area. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Ongoing Research: Fabrication of paper-like Battery Here we are working in fabrication of flexible energy storage cell. We have tested it under several conditions it work fine. Some of it features; —-Fast charge —- Discharge rate is fine for the intended application (used to power small drone) —- however energy density still lower than intended...we are still trying to improve ——uniqueness: gel Electrolyte —-extremely light weight and considerably cheap 5 Likes 2 Shares

Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 8:22pm On Aug 21, 2020 |
mustyy: This is a paying Journal. They will charge you 1350$ to publish with them on a normal ground. It does not worth it to waste such money that can feed a family for months on low lmpact journal..........I encourage you go for non-paying journal. Why I will not publish in this type of journal: ---- I cannot pay 1$ to publish any research work when more valuable journals are free. --- This journal just got accepted to WOS and has just published 308 articles ever......meaning quite new journal with very low metrics ------NO Impact factor, Not currently under SCI, SCI-E ---There are over 100 of journals in the same field or sbject area with better metrics for now than this. Why not Journal of Environmental Sciences, J of Env Science and Health PART A or B? these are free and more valuable for now. 2. what is RG impact factor (is it the real impact factor)----2018/2019 RG impact factor is 0.38 No impact factor.........this is 2020...so all impact factor were updated in June for 2019-2020 and this one has NONE. just got one my papers accepted with them, asking a publication fee of USD675. They must have given you 50% waivers because they originally publish for 1350$. So if I may ask why would you pay that much money when you are not Hushbaby? Anyway if you are funded by the organization to pay, go ahead. Best wishes 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Good day Prof. WIP Please sir throw more light on ESCI: Emerging sources citation index, are those Journals good, What is the faith of someone's article accepted by ESCI Journals. Also the SCIE, please differentiate it with the SCI. Also what is different between Scopus indexed Journal and SCI journal...? I can see some Journals being indexed by both the above two. More light Prof WIP Thank you 2 Likes |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 6:36pm On Aug 31, 2020 |
mustyy: First, I like to start by saying Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) are all databases. ESCI: This is a newly established database currently managed by Clarivate Analytics and achirved in Web of Science. It was established in 2015 to cover newly commissioned journals. So, large percentage of journals covered by ESCI are new journals with no or low metrics. According to Clarivate, ESCI will cover "peer-reviewed publications, quality work and emerging scientific fields". Before ESCI was established, there are several less‐established journals that are not in WOS (web of science) and that often limits authors that publish in journals not indexed in WOS. So now Clarivate as ensured ESCI is part of WOS making less‐established journals or low-ranked journals to now be part of WOS. Are the journals indexed under ESCI good? Clarivate claims that the quality criteria and rigour of the ESCI are equivalent to those of its other products like SCI or SCIE or WOS. However, in view of the large number of titles that have been included in it in a short time in ESCI; it seems otherwise. -----A research paper d[/b]edicated to this found that the visibility of the journals included in the ESCI is far lower than that of the classical indexes of WoS or of Scopus. ------ESCI has a higher percentage of [b]open access journals nearly one-third of the journals; meaning they charge you when you publish. -----A total of nearly 20% of the journals covered by ESCI are not indexed by other international abstracting and indexing databases. What is the faith of someone's article accepted by ESCI Journals Internationally and in well-respected universities, industries, funding organizations and evaluators; paper published in Journals indexed under SCI, SCIE and achirved in WOS are taken to be valuable and thats how they rank or evaluate such person profile and worth for now. As an example, in 2013; there was a research associate job with 5000 euro monthly salary which was directed for a particular project supported by Marie-Curie Fellowships in Holland. After removing all unqualified applicants, there are 5 left which has similar number of papers, their research field fits well to the target, all have similar years of experience, the last criteria adopted was to rank them according to their outputs. The one that graduated from not-very known universities had highest papers under WOS and SCI/SCIE while the ones from well known universities had higher number of papers but not as much of these papers were selected as reputable; so those were dropped. Nowl ESCI is under WOS but the journal’s index in this ESCI will not come with an impact factor(IF). However, each journal in this new index will be evaluated every year and those qualified will be transferred to SCIE. In summary, the faith of the person that publishes in ESCI journal will be hanging on the speed and quality such journal will employ for its papers so it can be included in SCIE. Some journals are under ESCI and also have SCIE affliations so thats fine. Also the SCIE, please differentiate it with the SCI. SCI was a smaller database that contained those valuable journals and to exapand it and allow more journals; Clarivate introduced SCI-E (expanded) which has larger coverage. Currently, all of those quality journals in SCI have been merged into SCIE. Also what is different between Scopus indexed Journal and SCI journal...? SCI was the original or among very first notable database Created in 1964 and the quality or metrics of Journals in SCI is then measured by impact factor....so in many cases and in some corners, people that published in higher impact factors are praised or respected compared to lower impact factors journals (this has some baises anyway)”. ... While Scopus is also a database launched in 2004 and to rank or measure the quality of the journal, it introduces four types of quality measure which are: h-Index, CiteScore, SJR and SNIP. All SCI/SCIE papers will be under SCOPUS but not all SCOPUS will be indexed in SCI/SCIE or even in WOS. All SCI/SCIE are in WOS but not all SCOPUS I can see some Journals being indexed by both the above two. More light Prof WIP In my university, You will be paid 1200$ if you publish in Journals indexed in Science Citation Index (SCI)/SCI Expanded (SCIE) while you will be paid 190$ if the journal is only indexed in Scopus. So for me, I prefer that bigger money anyway......All SCI/SCIE and majority of Scopus journals have adhered to the strict manuscript evaluation process through the rigorous and blind-folded review by the well-experienced reviewers across the world. This increases the visibility of the research articles; unlike those fake and predatory journals. I hope this helps to clear some stuffs! 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Yes, I'm shamelessly advertising my YouTube channel. But who is better qualified to talk about international postgraduate scholarships than the person who has been awarded 5 scholarships (3 masters & 2 PhDs) in the UK, US and Germany. Kindly see the "receipts" below (obviously blowing my trumpet). I started a YouTube channel in June to share tips & tricks of getting international scholarships and the community has grown to about 700 subscribers. As I proceed to begin my PhD in the UK, I wish to continued putting out contents on scholarships and studying abroad. To cut the long story short, SUBSCRIBE HERE: https:///dKFcS8m 2 Likes 2 Shares

Your proposal defence is an area of interest of your chosen field which I presumed was prepared by you and also related to the area of interest of your selected advisor/professor. I will advice you to concentrate on fundamental principles or mechanisms that governs your chosen topic. If your topic has none of this, then there might be trouble in the defence.
