msig0000 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I have few question,may be not allowed to do so, in this beloved forum.. 1..Can anyone tell me what is the consequences i m gonna face if i use crack software for a research work and wanna publish in a reputed journal? Will i have to face any question like have u used licensed version or not? or any type of query in the near future like this or how much secure is it. In a nutshell what i wanna is: I have crack software that gonna be used in the research work and i not in a state to buy these softs- what upshots gonna happened.... 2..As a newbie, can i publish a research work done by me lonely- i mean only one author, corresponding or first author is me in a high to mid impact-factored journals.Is it the fact is that as neophyte i have to resort to a skilled and high-measured researcher in the author list- is it the fact? Thanks in advance... Edited July 20, 2014 by msig0000 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahmansunbeam Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Interesting question. First of all, it depends on the institution and the country you are in and secondly (of coarse) on yourself. You must study the anti-piracy/anti-plagiarism rules before you start work. Most of the time piracy is treated as plagiarism, and in most cases the consequence is severe. Use open-source alternative of your tools. Even if you must use them in secured environment, let the management know why in the first place. Leave no string attached, know the laws or hire someone who do. Can't understand the second question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks,I know there is no remedy but open source;they surly either do not suffice to proprietary capabilities or the capability of me. I wanna hear something practical dude.. in second question i asked the query that as a novice (and only one author/writer i.e. novice) can i publish in a renowned journal?

Lurker Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I know in some institution you can request some particular software, or you may contact the vendor to get some special license for education in my opinion, there is no novice or expert, if you write some scientific journal (not plagiarism, must be your own research) and you pass on their screening and editorial then you can publish it, just read their requirement and fulfill it, I think you can publish it IMHO PS, yes you can discuss anything in off topic, but please keep civil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarcamo Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 In my honest opinion I can tell you the following. 1) You cannot use cracked software to publish, in my case I use software cracked just to personal use and for nothing else, for instance if I want to publish something (I work a lot with STATA) I write all the commands and script on my personal computer, of course I test everything in order to be Ok, but in order to get all the tables, graphics, etc I use my university computers which are fully licensed. The second way is, as said before, using freeware or open source, there is one extra way, but I do not fully know all the possible consequences but can you use trial software?? I really do not know about this I am just guessing. 2) I think it is really hard to publish just by yourself in a reputed journal (not impossible, but really hard), because every reputed journal asks for contributions to current knowledge, therefore if you do not have the proper guide, sometimes it is really hard to adequately address this contributions in a really innovative way. It is common to see one-author published articles when he/she is well known in his/her respective field. I hope it helps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabersan Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi msig000, Your question is very relevant.There are several aspects to consider.If after the publication your article, you earn money, then you are in illegally and you may have some rights issues. In the other side, if it's only an article study or a publication analysis result made, then it is possible to do so without risk.As also said jcarcamo, you can also play the card that you are using a trial version.I take the example of the Ussein Nasser book that is the author of PacktPub Editor "Learning ArcGIS geodatabases" and "Administering ArcGIS Server" in which he uses evaluation versions. Anyway, earning money from crack app is not a good idea. Hope that our point of you help you to take your decision. darksabersan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank dude a lot, would you elaborate a bit the sentence "In the other side, if it's only an article study or a publication analysis result made, then it is possible to do so without risk.". What i have understood is i can publish in the renowned journal but the article will be of open access. But if my article costs then i m gonna face some interrogation about the license- but i will pass in the interrogation if i m able to manage license from somewhere say, alma mater or trial.

Hi mate, OK, I have to rephrase my sentence.. You can write all articles that you want only if they are free, simply because you are using a software with a non "official" license but if you can claim that you have used a trial version then you can expect to earn money. darksabersan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arturo1000 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I am researcher and I never think about this. Of course the specialties can be different and I imagine the most of you work in spatial things but not only that, more specifically in physical geography, I am geographer but work with social aspects. but if We see the main aspect in this topic We see a big, big problem if We are thinking in that; any cracked program you use to do the research, even the word processor, spreadsheet, unpacker, the operating system, must have the same relevance over research. If that is the situation no more research for us, because in some or a lot of cases maybe We can pay for license, but no buy shoes, food, water, etc for a time. For me that is nonsense, because the idea in research is find new knowledge, ideas, procedures and that is the significant We need to see. But if you think that is important, if you have a license or not and that is a requirement in Published standards, definitely yo can´t do research. And in that case try to write, calculate, execute the program and run the simulator, where is a licensed software, to meet the requirements that "System" claims, not the science (if this even is valid to) if you discover something new with or without license that is a discover and no matter if this was with a paid license or not, that is my opinion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uriendemonav Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 there are countries that dont cover these laws for plagiarism, software piracy etc. made by other countries who owned the soft, so if you live in one of those you dont need to worry bout such thing as using pirated softs for your studies. i wouldnt suggest about publishing anything though, unless your school owned a proper license for that particular software you are using as pirated copy. in the mining industry we usually let the company buy one proper license with only the modules needed for publishing reports on the reports,market, stocks, and website, the rest of us users in the company use pirated copies of the software bought, these type of setup usually get anyone under safe grounds on publishing anything. these usually are the norm nowadays in our industry since these softs are really overpriced for a regular joe to purchase one. $5000 for a limited core modules? yeah right 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry thinks research institutions are golden donkies. Yes, most of them are primarily subsidized by public authorities. No, I don't pay taxes to support the purchase of 1 module of several k $ for a few researchers using it 50 days in a year. A simplified sketch, but current policies of these companies just force one to do some naughty things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
