Summary:

"In the early years of a career, scientists face challenging decisions on how best to communicate their results in publications and at conferences. The impact of such decisions can prove career-defining. In this book, the reader is carefully taken through a whole range of factors and procedures for strategic consideration. The key to success is understanding the perspectives of the decision-makers and processes involved, especially the crucial role played by reviewers in deciding on submissions. Emphasis is given to a range of factors to be considered when choosing the optimal journals and conferences, with added guidance on how to avoid weak and predatory publishers, or disreputable conference organizers. In discussing the course of publishing, there are tips on how to respond to referees, how to handle any disputes, and how to act as a referee. Prominent ethical issues are also discussed, including improper use of AI, ghost authorship, plagiarism, and multiple publishing. Advice is given on the different opportunities provided by conferences with a broad or narrow focus, and those designed for national or international participation. By describing the expectations and duties associated with conference roles, including presenter, session chair, membership of a program committee, and conference organizer, the reader is prepared to better appreciate how to become successful at each level of activity as their career progresses."-- Provided by publisher.
