what you ask is not understandable in the thread text. But to reply just to the title, that is not the doable thing in my prediction or seems like an invalid /unapplicable question. Because the golde ratio is a number. and the curve you shown is a type of gaussian distribution function. (I presume it is NORMAL distribution function graph)

the journal which I successfully conducted a review returned me an acknowledgement with additional kind invitation as to express that they would like to see me again in the future as also an author . But I do not mind really. why to do that ? First, I have already regular job (but this is not thoroughly an academic position really) and I believe I will have no earnings. So, why to bother myself,why ? that is ok that I accept I deal with science and I sometimes believe I have found some very sensitive and really effective things/results for community (by community I both mean folks (big data) and scientists. (because scientists are also member of folks) but why to bother myself ? for what ? for which aim? will I have a benefit? no. because, I left formal academic life more than 7 years ago. I am still young or feel so, but really not willing to follow all the expectations (especially for zero benefit) What I do ? I currently deal with only patents. Anyway, I believe I am right but wonder if there is suitable and significantly meaningful & understandable critiques. Note please as I have no plan to enroll currently to a PhD and MSc program in my home country,I do not look for advices, but critiques are welcome. Sincerely, ahmet

hi, this is a portative dental instrument and I am not willing to share any else information unfortunately. sorry for this case. if possible, could someone please give me an idea, on how much money should I want for licensing in case I get in touch with some corporations?

hi, I completed the review, and may anyone explain whether I could share my recognition of reviewer certificate wherever I want?

you can consider every aspect of beuty really. so, all of them.

I might have used wrong term here, not sure. by steady I mean the strong effect as a force across radiation ( when that metals are exposed to alpha, betta , gamma radiation)

hi, can someone explain please whether there are steady metals. The property I look for is about being steady across (nuclear) radiation,too. but as this issue does not fall inside the areas of my interests, I think i can easily make some mistakes. if this is a case, I kindly request the correction and understanding. Thanks

Thank you swansont.

can we reviewers add references in a report ? (is it the done thing? and are there cases which render the referencing as mandatory action?

I was not asking the formal qualifications. I was just pointing out to timely manner. Anyway, I think swansont's comment is more realistic in this theme or it seems so. Thanks

I am expected or required to provide the report in 14 days. but the journal has sent me that they do not look for a report in strength lenghty. so may I ask if I present the report, will this be a normal peer review? I remember, I sent papers to some journals and could not receive a report more than 3 months. there are some cases or friends expresing that too much longer times are also experienced. Thus, I asked that question. note please,I know that waiting a report for a manuscript and review time range are not same. But I wanted to ask,though.

hey joigus, do you know, when anyone mentions a beauty , then I should be recalled beauty simply means me. absolutely. hahahaha

is there a bad scenario if I revew the article but it is not found as expected? I think there should not be, because as you say I have no earning and I do not know the reason why I was invited. after entering to editorial manager, I saw that I submitted three manuscripts to journal but some of them were removed without any decision whille a decision available for one as I remember.

unfortunately it is late now. I accepted but... it is containing a bit difficult contexts even if not wholly. and do not know what to do now. but I cannot see decline button now. just it shows a link to message to send to handling editor.

okay. This was helpful really. I shall have 14 days but after reviewing full article, I shall try to update whether I am willing to make detailed assessment (i.e. to review it) or not with the best timely manner however possible. some last questions: 1)will I be able to send messages to handling editor or can I do that now (including a question: the reason why he did select me) 2) there are some details about me but unfortunately I am not willing to explain. the second question here is: will the authors see my comments / review report or will the report be open only to handling editor? Thank you

actually I can see just abstract. Of course an abstract may include many contexts but... what do you mean by "being succesfull through peer review process". I submitted articles to many journals but never received direct acceptance. Also, there is just one acceptance but even this was with minor revision demand. I still did not deal with that aricle. no, not a problem. I understand. Thank you for feedback. I shall try to be more careful than ever if I aggree to assess the manuscript. Thank you. a question: I presume that I wouldn't have option to decline the duty again in case I push to "agree to assess/invitation" button,right?

it was not by phone call. I mean chat service as support service. I look it up independently and their support service confirmed that I was offered for (peer) review when I provided the article number based on the supporter's question.

support service did not start to work by itself without effect. I mean after offer reached to me, I contacted to support service.

so, do you mean that the selection was not a mistake, it was by their demand (and free will),Right ? if yes, and what do you think on what I should do? will it be logical if I accept. I know you will presumably think like: "this is your decision, if you want you can accept , if not you can decline" but I want to ask more, what will I have as a benefit (if I accept) if the understandings I made are correct here? someone may think like : "you will be a reviewer of scientific article" but... are there some more embodiment? a clue for you to make a constructive but personalzed comment: I think the article abstract might not be sufficiently or directly relevant to my interests. (Currently I cannot see the full article, just abstract is viewable)

I am avare of Beall's List. And this, I think cannot be a unique cireterion. Anyway, I am going to explain which journal it was. it is MethodsX ,Elsevier. yeah yes, I also consider Elsevier and Springer might be accepted as predatory even though they do not appear on Beall's list. if you ask that whether I previously carried out peer (review) job, no. if you ask, whether I published with any scientific journal, no; but I attempted many times to publish, stating that I submitted my 1-2 or more mansucripts more than several journals, then yes. maybe, we can dicuss other details on external issue of this subject in another thread. the journal is as you see is multidisciplinary I think, but the editor who sent me the information falls in my area of competence,yes.

nope. forget please it anyway. no I did not say I have no academic background. I said I have no formal academic background. These are not same.

nope. I just said that if he continues to act in that way, someone else might consider that. not me.

how may a well known brand of a journal try to give harm to me? (I do not say that it cannot be a case, but do not know much too) I contacted to their support service, they confirmed that that manuscript was waited my decision to accept the invitation or not. meanwhile, am I allowed to share the name of that brand? note please I saw the manuscript abstract also in my account of that journal. They say I need to make a decision on whether I wanted to accept or not and I need to send my comments (assessment) to them within 14 days. I think that this is an official request but why did they select me is interesting. Because I thought just like you. ok. continue to act in that way. you will eventually learn how it is. joigus, what is your personal idea? should I reject the invitation? I have no formal academic background except a strong BSc program. if you meant that someone else may give harms to me, then could you clarify how?

Do not please tease with the people you do not know! it might negatively affect you.

a wery well known brand of journal group's member journal today has sent me an invitation to assess a manuscript. I am investigating the reason why for the case. have an idea?
