Participants can expect to:

  • learn how to plan an individual publication strategy in line with their career goals.
  • receive a comprehensive overview of how publication processes work in both journal and book publishing.
  • learn about practical aspects of academic publishing such as peer review processes, the pros and cons of co-authorship, usage rights, Open Access, and many more.
  • learn how to increase their public profile as an academic author via suitable online platforms. 

 

This practice-oriented online workshop develops the foundations of a successful academic publishing strategy for early career scholars and helps the participants in building a highly visible publication portfolio. The participants will learn how to assess their research in the context of the scientific publishing market and develop a publication strategy in line with their individual career goals.


The workshop covers a wide range of topics, from choosing the most appropriate publication format and applying the most salient selection criteria for target publishers to the management of review processes and self-marketing in an impact-oriented academic environment. A separate part of the course is dedicated to help the participants create and maintain a lively publication profile through the usage of suitable online platforms.


Further practical modules deal with the creation of optimized titles and abstracts for both books and journal articles as well as with the advantages and disadvantages of co-authorship. It also provides an overview of the most important aspects of plagiarism and usage rights, as relevant e.g. for the ‘recycling’ of dissertation chapters towards journal articles or contributions to edited collections. Finally, the importance of Impact Factors, Open Access and other facets of the digital dimension of academic publishing will be addressed.
