SEDONA User FAQs

Research Activities Entry

• If I wish to do multiple entries for Conference Presentations & Articles in Proceedings, which record I have to add first?

Conference Presentations.

• I wrote an article to present in a conference with someone from MSME/AU, why I cannot add these names when I add a Conference Presentations record?

Typically, only one faculty member from MSME/AU would be funded to travel to a conference and present his/her paper; not multiple coauthors from the same school. Once you update the Conference Presentation record (and duplicate to the Article in Proceedings, you can then update the Article in Proceedings later.

General Issues

• When we mouse-over journal title in the Journals Records screen, SEDONA displays Tooltip saying "Although this journal currently has a quality rating of 'x', it had a quality rating of 'x' ." Does SEDONA track journal ranking?

No, the message indicates that there is a difference in quality rating between what is stored with the article record and what the journal is currently rated. The quality rating is not tracked over time.
