Appendix aur Supplementary Materials: Bade Antar (Differences) Samjhein

Ek appendix aapke document ke andar bound hota hai. Supplementary material kahin aur host kiya jata hai aur link ke zariye wahan pahuncha jata hai. Bas yahi poora difference hai, aur isse judi har baat, jaise material ko kaun copy-edit karta hai, kya iska peer review hota hai, aur kya ise published record ka hissa mana jata hai, sab isi par depend karta hai.

Ye consequences jitne log sochte hain usse kahin bade hain, aur publishers is par khulkar disagree karte hain. Nature ka kehna hai ki supplementary information ka peer review hota hai. IOP Publishing kehta hai ki uski supplementary files ka default roop se review nahi kiya jata aur ye Version of Record ka hissa nahi hoti hain. Dono statements unke apne author pages par hain. Neeche: kya cheez kahan honi chahiye, har major publisher aakhir kya kehta hai, aur kisi specific item ke liye decision kaise lena hai.

Ek Line Mein Difference

Ek appendix document ka hissa hota hai. Ise baaki sab cheezon ke saath typeset kiya jata hai, ye table of contents mein dikhta hai, aur jo reader thesis ya PDF padh raha hai uske paas ye pehle se hota hai. Ek supplementary file document ke bahar rehti hai aur ise alag se retrieve kiya jata hai, aam taur par usi file ke roop mein jo aapne upload ki thi, bina kisi badlav ke.

Pediatric Radiology mein ek peer-reviewed editorial ek practical line draw karta hai: appendices mein reader ke reference ke liye aisi concise material hoti hai jo manuscript ke main part ke bahar rakhi jati hai, jabki supplementary material mein badi, cumbersome, ya bade-format wali material hoti hai aur journal staff ke dwara iska detail mein copy-edit nahi kiya jata.

Iske baad ka rule of thumb ye hai: agar reader ise padhte waqt dekhna chahega, toh ye ek appendix hai. Agar unhe iski zaroorat sirf aapke kaam ko check karne ya reuse karne ke liye hai, toh ye supplementary hai.

Appendix Mein Kya Jata Hai

Instruments, abbreviated tables ke full versions, interview schedules, coding frames, consent forms, mathematical derivations, aur detailed protocols. Wo material jise ek motivated reader mid-argument mein refer karna chahe.

APA 7 iske formatting conventions set karta hai, aur unhe sahi karna faydemand hai kyunki unme marks asani se milte hain. Agar sirf ek hai, toh iska title Appendix hota hai. Agar kai saare hain, toh unhe Appendix A, Appendix B, aur isi tarah aage, usi sequence mein order kiya jata hai jisme unhe text mein mention kiya gaya hai. Har ek reference list ke baad aata hai, jisme label center mein hota hai aur title agli line par hota hai. Aur body mein kahin na kahin har appendix ka reference hona zaroori hai, jaise "see Appendix B", kyunki ek aisa appendix jise kahin point na kiya gaya ho, aisa lagta hai jaise aapko uske liye koi jagah nahi mili.

Do conventions jo log aksar galat karte hain. Appendices reference list ke baad aate hain, pehle nahi. Aur ordering text mein pehle mention ke hisab se hoti hai, na ki us order mein jisme aapne unhe banaya tha.

<ProTip title="🖇️ Label it:" description="Write the in-text pointer at the same moment you create the appendix. Appendices added at the end almost always end up unreferenced, and an unreferenced appendix is the easiest thing in a thesis for an examiner to query" />

Supplementary Material Mein Kya Jata Hai

Datasets, analysis code, video aur audio, bahut bade tables, extended methods, additional figures, aur aisi koi bhi cheez jo typeset hone par article ko bahut bada bana de. Iske defining features unka size aur rawness hain na ki unki importance.

Publishers real limits lagate hain. Nature maximum das files allow karta hai, jisme sound ya video har ek 30 MB tak ho sakta hai aur cumulative total 150 MB tak ho sakta hai. PLOS har file ko 10 MB se kam rakhne ki recommendation deta hai. IOP individual files ko 50 MB aur total (article ke saath) ko 150 MB par cap karta hai.

Numbering conventions publisher ke hisab se badalte hain aur ye optional nahi hain. PLOS chahta hai ki text mein items ko S1 Table, S2 Fig, aur isi tarah cite kiya jaye, aur unhe sirf caption mein diye gaye hyperlink ke zariye access kiya jaye. Files banane se pehle apne target journal ki scheme check kar lein, kyunki baad mein ek darjan supplementary items ko rename karna bada mushkil kaam ho jata hai.

Publishers Agree Nahi Karte, Aur Ye Maayne Rakhta Hai

Yahan wo table hai jo is topic par kisi aur page par shayad hi mile. Ye sab kuch publishers ke apne author guidelines se quote kiya gaya hai.

IOP baaki sabse aage badhkar saaf taur par kehta hai ki supplementary material Version of Record ka hissa nahi banta. Ye ek bada statement hai. Iska matlab hai ki material available hai par ye, formally, published article ka hissa nahi hai.

Ek hi publisher ke alag journals bhi differ karte hain. Journal of Monetary Economics authors ko batata hai ki jabki ye supplementary materials ko encourage karta hai, ye core paper ki tarah unhe detail mein review nahi karta.

<ProTip title="🚦 Decide:" description="Read your target journal supplementary policy before you decide what to move out of the article. If that journal does not peer review supplementary files, anything load-bearing for your conclusion belongs in the main text" />

Kya Supplementary Material Ka Peer Review Hota Hai?

Imaandari se iska jawab ye hai ki ye poori tarah publisher par depend karta hai, aur aap ise assume nahi kar sakte. Iska seedha asar is baat par padta hai ki aap kaise likhte hain.

Agar aapke results section mein koi claim aisi cheez par depend karta hai jise koi reviewer kabhi nahi dekhega, toh wo claim ek tarah se unreviewed hi hai. Aise venue mein jo supplementary files ka review nahi karta, supplementary PDF mein chhipa robustness check bilkul bhi scrutiny se nahi guzra hai, chahe wo kitna bhi rigorous kyun na ho. Safe practice ye hai ki aap apne conclusion ke liye zaroori kisi bhi cheez ko reviewed article ke andar hi rakhein, aur supplementary space ka use un materials ke liye karein jo reuse aur replication ko support karte hain na ki unke liye jo argument ko aage badhate hain.

Isse juda ek aur trap: jin reviewers ke paas access hota hai, wo aksar files ko kholte nahi hain. Result report karne ki jagah "see Supplementary Table S4" likhna ek aam tareeka hai jisse aapki finding ko aise treat kiya jaye jaise wo wahan thi hi nahi.

<ProTip title="🗃️ Archive it:" description="Never let a supplementary file be the only copy of anything. Publishers change platforms and links rot, so keep the same material in a repository with its own persistent identifier" />

Kya Ye Citable Aur Indexed Hai?

Ye bhi publisher par depend karta hai, aur yahan practical differences kaafi sharp ho jate hain.

IOP har supplementary file ke liye ek DOI generate karta hai, aur kehta hai ki har ek ko ek unique identifier milega taaki ye citable aur discoverable ho sake. Nature aur PLOS supplementary files ko article ke apne DOI ke under host karte hain bina kisi alag identifier ke, halanki PLOS ise Figshare par bhi deposit karta hai.

Toh: ek supplementary file independently citable ho sakti hai, ya phir is tak sirf article ke zariye hi pahuncha ja sakta hai. Iske opposite, ek appendix kabhi bhi independently citable nahi hota, kyunki ye document ka hissa hota hai, aur yahi cheez ise dependable banati hai.

Data Availability Statements Ek Teesri Cheez Hai

Ise alag karna zaroori hai, kyunki log aksar dono ko mix kar dete hain. Supplementary material wo content hai jo aap article ke saath upload karte hain. Ek data availability statement ye declaration hai ki underlying data kahan mil sakta hai, jo aam taur par journal ke bajaye ek repository hoti hai.

Nature ki policy chahti hai ki statements us minimal dataset ko describe karein jo methods ya findings ko interpret, replicate aur build karne ke liye zaroori ho, jisme accession codes aur links shaamil hon, aur ye kehti hai ki bade datasets ko share karne ka preferred tareeka public repositories ke zariye hai. Phir datasets ko files ke roop mein attach karne ke bajaye reference list mein cite kiya jata hai.

Is preference ko follow karna apne aap mein beneficial hai. Subject repository mein maujood dataset ko ek persistent identifier, ek license, aur ek maintainer milta hai. Supplementary ZIP ke roop mein upload kiye gaye ussi dataset ko inme se kuch nahi milta.

Ye Decide Karna Ki Koi Item Kahan Jayega

Char sawal, isi order mein.

Kya mera conclusion is par depend karta hai? Agar haan, toh ye main text mein hona chahiye, ya agar aap thesis likh rahe hain toh appendix mein. Unreviewed supplementary space mein kabhi nahi.

Kya reader ise padhte waqt chahega? Agar haan, toh appendix. Agar wo ise sirf verify ya reuse karne ke liye chahte hain, toh supplementary.

Kya ye exposition ke bajaye data hai? Agar ye ek dataset hai, toh ise file ke roop mein attach karne ke bajaye ek repository mein daalein aur data availability statement likhein.

Kya ise typeset kiya ja sakta hai? Video, code, aur interactive material ko nahi kiya ja sakta. Ye baat baaki teenon sawalon ke bina hi decision le leti hai.

Khaas taur par thesis ke liye, isme se zyadatar cheezein collapse ho jati hain: theses mein appendices hote hain, jo document ke saath bound hote hain, aur supplementary material tabhi ek active question banta hai jab aap kisi chapter ko article mein convert karte hain. Us point par jo material appendix mein aaram se fit tha, use main text, supplementary files, ya repository mein sort karna padta hai, aur ye default roop se sab kuch supplementary mein daalne ke bajaye dhyan se karna chahiye.

<ProTip title="📦 Where it lives:" description="Before submitting, list every non-text item and write beside it whether it is reviewed, typeset, and citable at your target venue. Anything that is none of the three has to be something your argument can survive without" />

Load-Bearing Material Ko Wahan Rakhein Jahan Ise Padha Jaye

Ye difference administrative lagta hai par iska real connection scrutiny se hai. Ek appendix us cheez ke andar hota hai jiska exam ho raha hai. Supplementary material ka review ho bhi sakta hai aur nahi bhi, iska lagbhag kabhi edit nahi kiya jata, aur kuch publishers ke yahan ye formally published record ke bahar hota hai.

Ye pooch kar decide karein ki ye material aapke argument ke liye kya kar raha hai, aur phir jis venue mein aap submit kar rahe hain uski specific policy check karein, na ki ye assume karein ki ye pichle wale jaisa hi hoga. Wahi dhyan jo paper ke parts ko structure karne aur apne methods ko describe karne mein lagta hai, yahan bhi lagna chahiye, kyunki jo reader aapka instrument nahi dhoondh sakta, wo aapki study ko evaluate nahi kar sakta.
