Yes this is gamification in paper review. This journal is one of my favourite journals in the area of e-Health and it is categorised as Q1 journal indexed in Web of Science.  I was surprised and at the same time very excited when I received the invitation to review an article.  I wonder what and how is it I was invited heheh. After reading the paper, then I realised that the authors has cited our paper which was also  published in a Q1 journal.  : <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ijmedinf.2017.05.008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ijmedinf.2017.05.008<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Wow, yes this paper has been cited 35 times (as reported by Google Scholar)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/minshah\/files\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-24-at-12.37.31-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"629\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/minshah\/files\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-24-at-12.37.31-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/minshah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/720\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-24-at-12.37.31-PM.png 629w, https:\/\/people.utm.my\/minshah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/720\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-24-at-12.37.31-PM-300x69.png 300w, https:\/\/people.utm.my\/minshah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/720\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-24-at-12.37.31-PM-480x110.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Google scholar search as at 12.38 pm, 24 February 2021.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So there are 2 main benefits for publishing in journals indexed in Web of Science:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The chance and probability that your published paper is being cited is higher<\/li><li>You got to chance to be invited as a reviewer.

In addition, points accumulated can be used to pay the article processing fee, since this Q1 journal indexed in Web of Science is charging authors for publications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alhamdulillah, for this experience.  Apart from assisting UTM to achieve good standing and marks for the MyRA Audit, actually we should realise that publishing in Q1 and Q2 journal articles provide vast benefits to researchers. Let us aim for this. Unless&#8230; you publish and do not bother if other researchers read them or not, then why publish? ha ha ha <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it is not easy to publish in the reputable journals, but we have to start some where. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read and learn from the articles published in those journal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write write write to leave a legacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write write write to contribute to knowledge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write write write to share your thoughts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write write write to benefit others<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>READ &amp; WRITE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first time I got points for reviewing a journal article.
