Social Network Service for Scientists Difficulties Facing E-Publishing over Cloud Computing

Abstract

This paper illustrated the difficulties facing e-publishing over cloud computing pertaining to social network service for scientists from three axioms: the life cycle of the research document, an explanation of what a researcher juggles during the course of the production of the document related to research. Then this paper discussed discovering study of the researcher knowledge pertaining to both social network service for scientists, scholarly search engines and citation indices. The first axiom reflected the life cycle of the research paper and how each phase affects and influences the next phase. The second axiom showed the researcher worries and the different tasks that a scholar juggles: research financial support, institutional laws and regulations, time & money, legality and copy rights, language barrier, tech savvy, web metrics & university ranking. The third axiom was a discovering study that explored the weakness of the scholar pertaining to his/her knowledge about citation indices. Scholar's knowledge of social network service for scientists and citation indices like: ResearchGate, Google scholar, and academia.edu, Zotero, Coins, and figshare. CiteSeerX, getCITED, MyScienceWork, Mendeley; In addition, citation indices pertaining to Social network service for scientists and scholar search engines: i10-index, h-index, SCI, SSCI, and RG score.
