What is publishing?• Process of making information available to the general public.
“Publish or perish”
• Traditionally, this is achieved by engaging with a publisher – resulting in the publication of a journal article, book chapter or book.
• Using a publisher is still the most common way of disseminating the results of research.
• Universities also offer means of making research available – (e.g. Open Access Repositories)
• There are means of ‘self-publishing’.

Publishing process • A manuscript is submitted to the publisher (pre-print)
• Reviewed internally by editorial staff
• Peer reviewed - normally externally, by one or more expert academics (post-print)• Academic publishers conduct external, independent peer-
review, which lends authority and prestige
• Production – of the final PDF/Print Copy (publisher’s final version)
• Publication of the paper

Using a publisher – considerations• Which publication would you be publishing in? Is it well respected?
• What publications do staff and students read? What do(n’t) they like about them? Opinions can be based on personal taste.
• Does the journal have an Impact Factor or other indicator of prestige?
• What are the acceptance rates? Are you being realistic about where you are pitching your article?
• What is the nature of the agreement you have to sign with them? Will you be able to retain any rights?
• Is it a commercial publisher or a society publisher? Or both?
• Do you need to obtain permissions for 3rd party copyright? Your publisher should guide you on this.

Who conducts research?
![Page 10: Benefits of Open Access to Early Career Researchers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55c5d1a6bb61ebad108b4592/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How much does it cost to access it?
![Page 11: Benefits of Open Access to Early Career Researchers](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55c5d1a6bb61ebad108b4592/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Eventually who can really access it?

What can I do as an early career
researcher to show my research work to the
world?

It is not as difficult as you may think…• Publish in open access journals • Deposit (self-archive) into a repository
(institutional or disciplinary/subject) • Deposit your data in a data repository • Identify yourself and your work • Use social media to create a research societal
impact

Publish in open access journals But doesn’t it cost authors a
lot of money to publish in open access journals!

Cost – free
Fee waivers
Low cost – high quality

What is the big deal with
opening data and sharing
lately?

Identify yourself and your work How many
people have my name?

Use social media Like Twitter, Facebook,
Blogs? Is this acceptable for researchers?
Your research project
I open my research
data
I publish in open access
journals
I deposit in open
repositories
I use social media to share it with the world
