Description

Academic publishing is a cornerstone in any research career and the foundation for how universities and funders evaluate the researchers. This course will address the opportunities and challenges that you as PhD student might face in the process of publishing your research as journal articles (or monographs) and data publications. The aim of the course is to provide you with knowledge, skills and tools for publishing your research openly and responsibly while fulfilling the demands of your university, your funder and your research community.

The workshop sessions will cover:

Copyright in publishing
Creative Commons licenses
Open access publishing
Responsible metrics and evaluation of researchers
Research impact and evaluation
Management and optimization of researcher profiles
Data management and the FAIR principles

You will also have the opportunity to put forward your questions and problems for discussion. Active participation and exchange of ideas is encouraged.

After the course, you will be able to:

Plan your research and develop suitable publishing strategies together with your supervisor and colleagues
Apply your new knowledge to publish your research in a responsible way
Interpret terms and conditions from publishers
Choose appropriate and preferably open publishing models for your manuscripts and research data
Increase the visibility of your publications and research data
Use bibliometric indicators responsibly and strategically to make your research visible in applications for funding and research positions

Workshop format
This course consists of different workshop sessions. All sessions contain a combination of presentations, discussions, teaching cases and hands-on activities.
