Crinetic does believe in the peer-review system. It provides a reasonably fair procedure to screen for valuable articles; however, the downside is that only a relatively small number of people can participate in the system. The goal of Crinetic is to strengthen the peer-review system by allowing more people to take part. By collecting thoughts and challenges from the public, a new “impact factor” reveals an article’s real value. Your participation gives Crinetic the power to filter out fraudulent, unreproducible, misconceived or misleading work. With your input, Crinetic enables the real gems to be uncovered.
Any individual who is over 13 years old and accepts the “Terms and Conditions” is welcome to register an account to participate in Crinetic and help it grow.
Definitely not! Each individual can have only one account on Crinetic. Periodic checks for abuse will be performed to ensure fairness.
A digital object identifier (DOI) is a serial code for persistent unique identification of objects, particularly for electronic documents such as journal articles. By now over 120 million DOIs have been assigned. For more details about DOI, please refer to https://www.doi.org/.
An article's rating is the average of commenters’ ratings. Each reviewer will be asked to leave a rating to the question “How useful and helpful is the article?” when they leave a comment. Keep in mind that every reviewer can only rate an article after they leave a comment and will only be allowed to do so once.
Crinetic’s search engine will show you results matching the following information: DOI, article title, author, journal name and #keyword. If you are trying to locate a specific article, DOI is recommended.
You are welcome to post any article with a DOI and author information. Articles with a DOI but without author information will not be accepted.
The whole procedure has four elements: enter a DOI, assign keywords and categories, rate the article and leave a “Praise” or “Criticism”. At Crinetic, ease of use is our priority.
An assigned “#Keyword” makes an article accessible via Crinetic search engine, and helps readers find it easily. Each user is welcome to add one more keyword to an article.
All kinds of praise and criticism are welcome as long as they are well-intentioned. Crinetic respects your comments, and we also hope other readers will too. Any kind of personal attack is strictly forbidden on Crinetic; your comments must focus only on the article.
Yes, Crinetic respects your privacy and understands sometimes you would like to share your comments anonymously just as in the peer-review system. When leaving a comment, you can simply activate “Go Incognito” to make your comment anonymous. Please read our “Terms and Conditions” to use the “Incognito” identity properly.
There are two sides to every coin, so is your comment. With the “Praise” and “Criticism” labels, readers can easily focus on each side of your comments. This enables readers to approach the article in an organized and systematical way.
Every article deserves praise but we believe “Criticism” is the more productive and is able to be leveraged for the best. A limit on the number of “Praise” and “Criticism” comments is applied to encourage users to give priority to the most important comments.
The limit is not intended to be constraining. The intention is to encourage users to express their opinions in a concise way. Crinetic hopes that the 500-character limit will help users quickly gain insights from different perspectives.
For some cases, this limit may cause troubles for some comments. If you feel your opinions are constrained by the 500-character limit, you can upload a file to support your point of view. Crinetic currently accepts one file less than 1MB in the following formats: Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, JPEG or PNG.
Yes. You can simply attach one file of less than 1MB while leaving a comment. Crinetic currently accepts the following formats: Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, JPEG or PNG.
For fairness, you can only edit your comment before any other user has interacted with it by an action such as “Agree”, Disagree” and “Report”. If you are the first reviewer of an article, you can edit its keywords anytime. In other words, you are an administrator of that article.
You might associate them with the “like” button on other social networks, but here “Agree” and “Disagree” have additional important functions. Once you spot a comment which you agree with, by clicking “Agree” you can bump its order up on the comment list. The comment with the most “Agrees” will be located at the top if the sorting method “Most Agreed” is used. “Disagree” works in the opposite fashion to “Agree”. On Crinetic, to share your thought and contribute to academia, you don’t even need to type a word!
As an expert in your profession, you are able to suggest valuable articles for other readers. If you have a suitable article to which you think readers should give priority over the existing one, simply click “Suggest an article” on the bottom of the “Suggested Reading” list. A DOI is the only requirement.
Certainly, you can choose to hide “Education” and/or “Work” on the “Edit Profile” page. To go completely anonymous, try to activate “Go Incognito” when you post an article or comment.
Crinetic is equipped with a mechanism to filter potential abuse. Simply activate “Report this comment” on the abusive comment, and the process starts automatically. Of course, you can also report any abuse by directly sending an email to report@crinetic.com. We are always by your side on the mission to secure a professional and friendly atmosphere!
