Challenges Facing E-Publishing Over Cloud Computing on Scientists' Social Network Service

Abstract

This chapter illustrates the difficulties facing e-publishing over cloud computing pertaining to scientifically-oriented social network services from three axioms: the life cycle of the research document, an explanation of what a researcher juggles to conduct proper research, and the researcher knowledge pertaining to both scholarly search engines and citation indices. The chapter discusses the essential role of the researcher in teaching, being a beacon of hope, and explains the steps towards research conducting, when an original idea is deduced, as well as the step of writing research addressing the financial support for researchers: from submitting proposals, follow up proposals, grant management if funding is secured, whilst conducting the research, and publishing the results in accredited journals approved by the researcher's institute and financing partner, while publishing the research in accordance with the laws and regulations of the institute.
