2. LOOK FOR A MECHANISM NOT FOR PHENOMENON
look for a functional test which demonstrates that the
effect you describe can be significantly increased or
reduced by a well-defined intervention.
ADDRESS THE SAME QUESTION WITH ADDITIONAL
METHODS
Sophisticated labs may use a number of different
genetically modified mouse lines in one publication to
address the same question.
3. RE-ANALYZE YOUR SAMPLES WITH A DIFFERENT OR
MORE COMPLEX METHOD
just by obtaining more data from your existing samples
you may improve the quality of the study. However, you
may also end up with a lot of unrelated or contradictory
findings.
ADD FANCY TECHNIQUES
A very well-known method to improve a study is to use
fancy techniques.
It always helps to include new and exciting technologies
which corroborate your findings.
4. DEVELOP A FANCY TECHNOLOGY
One of the most effective strategies to increase the quality of
your publications is to include a new techniques you have
developed yourself.
If the technique is used later by many others your publication
will also be cited multiple times.
COLLABORATE WITH A STATISTICIAN
In order to increase the quality of your findings it is in
principle obligatory to work together with one or more
statisticians – especially when you work with big datasets or
small sample numbers which are not independent from each
other.
5. FUSE SMALLER STUDIES
A classical saying in science is “One message per paper” often
leading to “salami tactics”, thus, a big study is divided into
several smaller publications.
The opposite strategy may be useful to increase the quality of
two smaller studies provided they are complementary.
COLLABORATE WITH EXPERTS IN THE FIELD
Young researchers often think that collaborating with experts
in the field may help to publish in journals with a higher
impact factor. This hypothesis may be true or not.
6. LOOK FOR A JOURNAL WITH THE PERFECT SCOPE AND
CHECK WHERE YOUR COMPETITORS PUBLISH
This is a simple advice which may substantially improve your
publication output. Many researchers have the tendency to
publish again and again in the same journal.
SUBMIT TO A JOURNAL WITH A MUCH HIGHER IMPACT
FACTOR TO GET REVIEWERS COMMENTS
Finally, try to submit always to a journal with a substantially
higher impact factor than the average of your group.
If you submit too high the chances are high that the paper
gets immediately rejected and you lost some valuable time
and maybe the submission fee.
