Paper Pollution is refuse created in pulp and paper mills and paper that is discarded into landfills. In Canada and the United States, paper and pulp are the third largest industrial pollutants, paper making up 35 percent of municipal solid waste that goes to the landfills. Once used as a communication tool, the paper has become material for packaging, consuming 42 percent of the world’s harvested wood.
The production of paper today has been leaving a strain on the Earth. Tree removal practices like deforestation destroy animal habitats and allow for substantial erosion in areas that rely on tree roots for support. At the same time, the production of paper products releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and the use of large amounts of chlorine for bleaching, releasing large quantities of dioxins.

What is “paper bidding”? Why is that before the submission deadline?
In conferences with paper bidding, reviewers get to indicate their preference for each paper (i.e. “I’m interested in reviewing this one, not interested in reviewing that one”).

The primary means of submission is through mstracker.com. The authors should identify an Associate Editor (co-authors are disqualified) with expertise in the scope of the manuscript. The Associate Editor will be responsible for identifying reviewers and, after receiving reviews, for making a recommendation on the acceptability of the manuscript for publication. All final decisions on acceptability will be made by the Editor-in-Chief. The Associate Editors will be listed in the article as the Handling Associate Editor. Corresponding authors of accepted articles may be invited to join JAD as Associate Editors. Associate Editors are given free access to the online content of the journal for the length of their terms but are not exempt from publication fees. See Information for Authors for details.
JAD is a member of the Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium. The Consortium is an alliance of neuroscience journals that have agreed to accept manuscript reviews from each other. If you have submitted a manuscript to another Consortium journal and your manuscript has undergone their review process, we will accept the reviews from that journal, should you decide this might be helpful. You can find a list of Consortium journals and details about forwarding reviews at http://nprc.incf.org.

what is a review article

Not in the mood for a video? Read on!
Here is a more detailed explanation of review articles.

A literature review is a comprehensive summary of previous research on a topic. The literature review surveys scholarly articles, books, and other sources relevant to a particular area of research. The review should enumerate, describe, summarize, objectively evaluate and clarify this previous research. It should give a theoretical base for the research and help you (the author) determine the nature of your research. The literature review acknowledges the work of previous researchers, and in so doing, assures the reader that your work has been well conceived. It is assumed that by mentioning a previous work in the field of study, that the author has read, evaluated, and assimiliated that work into the work at hand.
A literature review creates a “landscape” for the reader, giving her or him a full understanding of the developments in the field. This landscape informs the reader that the author has indeed assimilated all (or the vast majority of) previous, significant works in the field into her or his research.

Dictionary entry details

Before formal publication in a scholarly journal, scientific and medical articles are traditionally certified by “peer review.” In this process, the journal’s editors take advice from various experts—called “referees”—who have assessed the paper and may identify weaknesses in its assumptions, methods, and conclusions. Typically a journal will only publish an article once the editors are satisfied that the authors have addressed referees’ concerns and that the data presented support the conclusions drawn in the paper.
other scientists to see, discuss, and comment on the findings immediately. Readers should therefore be aware that articles on medRxiv have not been finalized by authors, might contain errors, and report information that has not yet been accepted or endorsed in any way by the scientific or medical community.

“Indefinite article.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/indefinite%20article. Accessed 27 Jul. 2020.

The two indefinite articles in English are a and an. The indefinite article an is used to make pronunciation easier when reading a text aloud. The general rule is to use a when the indefinite article precedes a word beginning with a consonant sound and an when it precedes a word starting with a vowel sound.

articles to read

Thanks for checking out my blog. On July 7, 2015, I published my first article on DariusForoux.com. The last time I checked, I published more than 300 articles on this blog about many different topics. But I’ve always written about topics that are related to personal growth.
By reading books and articles, we can accelerate our learning curve. Instead of spending a lifetime figuring things out through trial and error, you can learn faster from other people’s experiences. That’s the reason I started this blog.

what is a peer review article

Keep in mind that articles from peer reviewed journals are considered scholarly, but not all scholarly articles are from peer reviewed journals (in other words, just because an article was not published in a peer reviewed journal, doesn’t automatically mean it isn’t considered a scholarly source).

1. The article was written by an expert or scholar in the field or on the topic.
2. The article was reviewed by other experts or scholars in the field or on the topic who assess the article for accuracy and other indicators of scholarship before providing feedback to the author.
3. The author made any necessary edits or changes to the article based on the feedback provided before the article was published.

You will need to look at the journal information to find out if the articles it publishes are peer-reviewed. If the article is from a printed journal, look at the publication information in the front of the journal. If the article is from an electronic journal, go to the journal home page and look for a link to ‘About this journal’ or ‘Notes for Authors’. Here it should tell you if the articles are peer-reviewed.

• Chapters tend to be lengthy
• Reading requires your undivided attention
• The author provides a complete list (bibliography) of the sources used
• The book contains few pictures and advertisements
• Often there are illustrations or graphs supporting the author’s research
• The author’s credentials are provided
• The book is published or sponsored by a scholarly or a professional association or an academic press

Peer-review essentially means that a written work has been evaluated by people with knowledge in the same field who have verified the sources and information found within that particular work, usually a journal article. Looking at some of the characteristics of peer-reviewed articles is a good way to check if a book is a good, scholarly source:

Peer review is a formal quality control process whereby an article submitted to a journal is evaluated by several recognised experts in that discipline. These “referees” judge whether it makes a sufficient contribution to knowledge in the discipline and is of a sufficient standard to justify publication.
Academic book manuscripts, conference papers, trade journals can also be commonly peer reviewed. Many library databases, including Discover, allow you to limit your search to only peer reviewed articles.
