Navigating the academic publishing system
Content | Getting your first research articles published can feel like navigating the waters of a stormy ocean. While the academic publishing system is designed to ensure quality, transparency and fairness in the dissemination of scientific knowledge, its structures and processes are not always intuitive, especially at the beginning of an academic career. In this workshop, we will demystify the journey of scientific publication. Participants will gain an overview of the entire process: from preparing a solid manuscript and choosing an appropriate journal, to submission, peer review, revision and final publication. Beyond the publication workflow itself, the workshop will address key aspects of today’s scholarly communication landscape. These include Open Science and Open Access, current developments in Open Access transformation, different types of scientific publications, and how to identify reputable journals and avoid predatory publishing practices. Additional topics include science metrics and ethical considerations in academic publishing. The aim of the workshop is to equip participants with the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate academic publishing in a critical and informed way. It is particularly suited for students and early-career researchers preparing their first scientific publication, but everyone interested is welcome. |
