Educational Text for the Course Publishing Advisor
Effective communication is crucial for the advancement of science and society. Publishing the results of scientific work in a way that makes them credible, visible amidst the information flood, and accessible to everyone who might need them is easy for some, but harder than the research itself for others.
Especially early-career scientists have trouble navigating the complex, peculiar, and sometimes illogical landscape of scientific publishing, shaped by the diversity of scientific disciplines, historical decisions, technological developments, financial pressures, compromises, and the unimaginable amount of voluntary work that authors, reviewers, and many editors contribute to the system without expecting compensation. Those who were not fortunate enough to have a well-informed mentor can accept the helping hand of a librarian-publishing advisor.
A guide through the world of scientific publishing will lead the reader from the dawn of the first scientific journals to the latest open publishing platforms. It follows the path of a scientific article from conception and writing, through finding the right journal and the challenges of peer review, to publication, evaluation of science, management of electronic information resources, and the vision of the future of libraries in the digital age.
