Abstract
Abstract: Research Tools can be defined as vehicles that broadly facilitate
research and related activities. Scientific tools enable researchers to collect,
organize, analyze, visualize and publicized research outputs. Dr. Nader has
collected over 700 tools that enable students to follow the correct path in
research and to ultimately produce high-quality research outputs with more
accuracy and efficiency. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mindmap, titled Research Tools, which is updated periodically. Research Tools
consists of a hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main nodes: (1) Searching
the literature, (2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable journals, and (4)
Enhancing visibility and impact of the research. Several free tools can be found
in the child nodes. In this workshop some tools as examples from the part 3
(Targeting suitable journals) will be described. The e-skills learned from theworkshop are useful across various research disciplines and research
institutions.

Cover letter
Dear Professor Katsuhiko Ariga,
Good Day!
Enclosed is a paper, entitled " Small and Medium Enterprises; Virtual R&D (Research and Development) Teams and
New Product Development: A Literature Review." Please accept it as a candidate for publication in the Advanced
Science Letters Journal.
Below are our responses to your submission requirements.
1. Title and the central theme of the article.
Paper title: " Small and Medium Enterprises; Virtual R&D Teams and New Product Development: A Literature Review." This
study reviews the concepts of new product development and distributed teams in small and medium enterprises. It
proposes the state-of-the-art literature review in order to provide an overview on the structure and dynamics of R&D collaboration
in SMEs.
2. Why the material is important in its field and why the material should be published in theAdvanced Science Letters
Journal?
The necessity of having an effective virtual team network is rapidly growing alongside the implementation of information technology.
Finding an appropriate virtual teams management has become increasingly important today's distributed environment. However,the conventional centralized architecture, which routinely requests the information by face to face meeting, is not sufficient to
manage the growing requests for new product, especially in small and medium enterprises.
Recently, a new phenomenon that uses virtual teams to assist the distributed R&D teams has emerged. The virtual teams reduce time-
to-market, distribute SMEs risk in new product development, and improve SMEs operational performance. Given today's virtual
teams demand over the SMEs, it is important for the Advanced Science Letters Journal readers to understand this new
phenomenon and its benefits. This study gives a comprehensive literature review on different aspects of virtual R&D teams
collected from the reputed publications. It is the first in the literature that reports the analysis of proceeding about the topic. We
strongly believe the contribution of this study warrant its publication in the Advanced Science Letters Journal.

Acceptance Procedure
Editor-in-Chief tests the manuscript according to the several criteria
of subject scope, style, apparent technical validity, topical
importance, relationship to prior publication, conciseness,
appropriate references, and length. Papers that vary widely from the
prescribed archival style (those written as speeches, ill-defined
manuscripts, progress reports or news releases, or those stronglyflavoured with advertising) will not be considered for publication.
Associate Editor (Editor) evaluates the paper according to the
same criteria and, in most cases, has the paper sent to one or more
reviewers in the field (usually two) for confidential review. The
Associate Editor may, however, at his or her discretion, accept the
paper without review, reject it giving explicit reason, or request that
the author prepare it in a different format.

The reviewing process
Each paper is reviewed by the editor and, if it is judged suitable for the publication, it is then sent to
two referees for double blind peer review. Based on their recommendations, the Editor then
decides whether the paper should be accepted as is, revised or rejected. The Editor may,
however, vary this process in some circumstances.

Acceptance Procedure Con.
Reviewer is asked to judge the technical validity of the manuscript
and the extent of its advance over work previously published. The
reviewer is asked also for advice as to whether the paper merits
publication in the journal. However, the decision to publish, to
require major revision before publication, or to reject for reasons
cited lies first with the Associate Editor and ultimately with the Editor-in-Chief.
Editorial Decision to Accept or Reject - The Editors will inform the
author of their decision (acceptance, conditional acceptance, or
rejection). In the case of rejection, the author will be given specific
reasons related to the criteria. In the case of conditional acceptance,
the required revisions will be clearly indicated. On some occasions,
the Editors may anticipate a need for further reviews after revision; if
so, the author will be notified.

24/47
What are the criteria by which the
paper will be judged? Is the subject appropriate to the editorial aims and scope of the journal?
Originality: does the article say something original, does it add to the body of knowledge, etc.? If a case study, is
this its first use?
Research methodology: most journals are concerned about this, as would be expected for an academic publisher.
Is the research design, methodology, theoretical approach, critical review, etc. sound? Are the results well
presented, do they correlate to the theory, and have they been correctly interpreted? Is the analysis sufficiently
rigourous?
Is the paper set in the context of the wider literature, are there sufficient relevant citings, are these well referenced
and are other people's views credited?
Is the paper accurate, is any information missing or wrong?
Is the structure logical, is the sequence of the material appropriate, is there a good introduction and are the
summary and conclusions adequate?
Does the titleof the article accurately reflect its content?
How useful would the article be to a practitioner, is it a useful example of "good practice"? Could the study be
replicated in other situations?
Is the material clearly presented, readable? Are graphs and tables used to good effect? Is the level of detailappropriate? Is the use of terminology appropriate to the readership?
Is the perspective appropriate for an international audience?
Questions of format: are the abstract, keywords etc. appropriate?
Is it an appropriate length (note: many journals will stipulate length requirements in their author guidelines)?
