Publishing Journal Articles: Strategies for Success

Graduiertenakademie, Mommsenstraße 7, seminar room 02 (ground floor)

It is essential for PhD candidates and scientists to develop an impressive publication record. The publication of high quality journal articles is imperative in order to apply for jobs or for research grants, to communicate findings, and to define reputation in the field. This “publish-or-perish” approach, however, may decrease the quality of the journal articles. By providing adequate training, it is possible to maintain high quality of publications. This workshop will work with participants to develop a set of “how-to” strategies that will enhance the strengths of their journal articles, and increase the chances of acceptance.

Included Topics:

• How to select a target journal
• H-index, impact factor, Eigenfactor score, and article influence score
• How to make a section of a manuscript more persuasive
• The peer review system
• How to effectively communicate with editors and reviewers
• How to deal with rejections
• Ethical and authorship issues
• Copyright and plagiarism issues
• How to promote publications
