Your publishing needs met

Academic authors aim to reach wider international audiences in order to share findings and satisfy requirements of research grants and other funding programmes. Research diffusion is also beneficial for their career advancement, as we previously covered in our data sharing  and research impact  news articles.

In the traditional publishing model, a paper is submitted to the journal’s editors. If the paper is of good quality and fits the journal’s scope, it is put through peer review, which will help the editors decide if to accept or reject it – perhaps subject to revisions.

Traditionally, an author’s impact was measured using the number of times he/she was published and the number of times his/her publications were cited by other researchers. Technology has been revolutionising academic communications.
