报告内容简介:

Innovativeand impactful studies conducted by researchers should bepublished in reputableinternational peer-reviewed journals to ensure that they are disseminated inthe international community. This session targets researchers who wish tosubmit their papers to top-notch international journals and want to increasetheir awareness of the latest developments in academic publishing.

STEM publishing has beenundergoing constant evolution because of the rapid growth and fast progress ofscientific and interdisciplinary research as well as new technologies beingimplemented in the publishing industry; however, researchers remain unaware ofthese changes. Numerous papers get rejected during the submission stage byjournal editors without actually being seen by a peer in the field.

In this session, we focus onsome key recent developments in academic publishing; tips on how to prepare andsubmit your papers; how to deal with editors and referees; the challengesrelated to research and publication ethics; and the latest developments in openaccess (OA) publishing along with the relevant funding mandates. We will alsoshare some insights about how researchers can approach Enago to improve theirchances of publication.

We hope this talk will helpresearchers understand STEM publishing better and improve changes of papersgetting accepted by top-tier international journals.
