The end of term is always a busy time. Postgraduates and doctoral students focus on completing the curriculum, publishing the necessary articles and preparing for the dissertation defence. How to publish the necessary articles before the end of the semester and get admission to the thesis defence?
Writing and publishing a research article is not only an opportunity to demonstrate your achievements, but also an important step on the way to a successful thesis defence. However, it is important to remember proper planning, timely editing and selection of a reliable journal for publication, as well as active co-operation with your supervisor. A clear adherence to these steps will help you achieve the desired result.
How to successfully prepare a scientific article for publication?
Early preparation of scientific publications is important for every scientist, as it allows to efficiently organise all stages of the publication process and increases the probability of successful publication of the research. Careful planning, preparation of materials and attention to detail are crucial to achieve the desired outcome.
How can you influence the timing of publication?
- Journal selection. Before submitting your article, carefully review the journal's topic area, editorial policy, and average publication deadlines.
- Article formatting. Make sure your article meets the journal's requirements and is properly structured and formatted. This will help reduce the time it takes to review and finalise a research article, which can take several weeks.
- Communication with editors. Responding quickly to enquiries from editors and reviewers will help speed up the review and publication process significantly.
- Publishing in open access journals. These journals often have shorter review times and a faster publication process.
- Research relevance. Interest in and relevance of your topic increases the chances of getting published in an upcoming issue.
In order to have time to publish your article before the thesis defence, it is important to choose the right journal. To publish an article in a rating journal, which is indexed in Scopus or Web of Science databases, in a few months is not an easy task. But “Scientific Publications” can help you with this.
