HOW TO GET PUBLISHED
WHILE DOING A PHD
(OR THESIS)?
WE’VE ALL FELT LIKE THIS AT
ONE TIME…
1. What is my publishing agenda?
2. Where should I publish?
3. How do I get published?
4. What are the key things that I need to know?
4 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
WHAT IS MY PUBLISHING AGENDA?
Be Strategic:
Consider…
• Your audience
• Your timeline and the Journal’s timeline
• Your long and short term publishing
goals
WHERE TO PUBLISH
Be Strategic:
Consider…
• Your audience
- Where does your supervisor publish?
- Where do other experts in your area publish?
- Relevance of the journal to your paper/study
(who reads this journal?)
- Large audience vs. niche audience?
WHERE TO PUBLISH
Be Strategic:
Consider…
• Your audience
• Your timeline and the Journal’s timeline
- What is the journal’s acceptance/rejection
rate?
- How long will it take the journal to review
your research?
- What is your publishing timeline? How many
papers/how quickly do you want/need to
publish?
WHERE TO PUBLISH
Be Strategic:
Consider…
• Your timeline and the Journal’s timeline
• Your long and short term publishing goals
- Quantity/Quality…
- Publish during your thesis…
- Publish after submitting your thesis…
WHERE TO PUBLISH
Publish in the ‘right’ journal for you & your research:
Journal Citation Ranking Lists
• SCImago Journal Rankings – main metric is SJR value
• Journal Citation Reports – main metric is Impact Factor
• Google Scholar Metrics – main metric is h5 index & h5 median
• ERA 2012 – inclusion on the list indicates it is recognised as good
journal
General information about Journals
• Ulrich’s – journal scope, publication frequency, language etc.
• Cabell’s – acceptance rate, time to review, number of internal
and external reviewers etc.
WHY EVALUATE JOURNALS?
Use journal metrics to evaluate the quality of journals for:
• Grant applications
• Academic employment/promotion
• Identify which journals are best for you to publish in
THE PUBLISHING PROCESS…
Identify audience or
readership
Determine publication
priorities and time frame
Check quality of
journal/publisher/editorial board
Consider publishing
options
e.g. open access
Potential target journal(s)
selected
EXAMPLE DECISION MAKING PROCESS…
Is the journal peer-reviewed?
Does the scope, publication frequency,
acceptance rate etc. fit with your goals
Is the journal of high quality?
Is the journal open-access?
Yes
No
Forget it!
Depends on your goals
- Ulrich’s
- Cabell’s
Consult
- Journal website
Consult
- Ulrich’s
- Cabell’s
- Journal website
ConsultNo
Forget it!
- JCR
- SJR
- Google Scholar
- ERA
Yes
Consult
YesNo
Give careful thought
about publishing here
Submitting your article to
this journal seems
appropriate
GENERAL TIPS
• Look at the reference lists of papers you read regularly to
see which journals are publishing the articles which are
central to your research.
• Identify a couple of options to publish in (rejection is
always a possibility).
• Carefully select the right journal… consider
quality/impact vs. acceptance rate/timeline. Beware of
scams!!!
• Skim read some of the titles/abstracts/authors who have
published in back issues to determine if your research
fits with what the journal has published previously
MANUSCRIPT TIPS
• Cite papers in your manuscript which were published in
the journal you hope to be published in
• Carefully follow author guidelines for submission
• Pay attention to the details. Editors/reviewers hate
badly written manuscripts full of spelling/grammatical
errors
• Answer all comments from reviewers; take your time
and show that you value their opinion
• Don’t take rejection personally – it happens to the best
of us!
If you have been publishing from your thesis during
your candidature, consider…
Reuse of your material > manage your rights > permission
• Confirm with your publisher what rights you’ve retained as the
author, and under what conditions you can use your own work.
• Ensure that your publisher gives you permission to use your
published work within your thesis and to self-archive.
• You can check and compare the policies of different publishers,
using the SHERPA/RoMEO and OAKList databases or go to
individual publishers’ websites.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
If you plan to publish either your completed thesis or
parts of it post completion……
An extra factor to consider is the choice you now have as a result
of recent amendments to Deakin’s Higher Degrees by Research
(HDR) Assessment Procedure about open access to your thesis
23 Candidates may elect to allow access to their entire thesis
via Deakin Research Online, or limit access to the thesis
citation, abstract and metadata only. Where access via
Deakin Research Online is limited to the citation, abstract
and metadata, the Library will make individual digital copies
available for consultation, loan and limited copying in
accordance with the Copyright Act 1968
DEAKIN RESEARCH ONLINE (DRO)
SUMMARY
1. Consider the match b/w your research and the journal (Ulrich’s, Cabell’s)
2. Develop a shortlist of potential journals which seem appropriate
3. Evaluate the quality/impact of these journals (JCR, SJR, Scholar metrics)
… then submit! Good Luck!

How to get published as a PhD student

  • 1. HOW TO GET PUBLISHED WHILE DOING A PHD (OR THESIS)?
  • 2. WE’VE ALL FELT LIKE THIS AT ONE TIME…
  • 3. 1. What is my publishing agenda? 2. Where should I publish? 3. How do I get published? 4. What are the key things that I need to know? 4 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
  • 4. WHAT IS MY PUBLISHING AGENDA? Be Strategic: Consider… • Your audience • Your timeline and the Journal’s timeline • Your long and short term publishing goals
  • 5. WHERE TO PUBLISH Be Strategic: Consider… • Your audience - Where does your supervisor publish? - Where do other experts in your area publish? - Relevance of the journal to your paper/study (who reads this journal?) - Large audience vs. niche audience?
  • 6. WHERE TO PUBLISH Be Strategic: Consider… • Your audience • Your timeline and the Journal’s timeline - What is the journal’s acceptance/rejection rate? - How long will it take the journal to review your research? - What is your publishing timeline? How many papers/how quickly do you want/need to publish?
  • 7. WHERE TO PUBLISH Be Strategic: Consider… • Your timeline and the Journal’s timeline • Your long and short term publishing goals - Quantity/Quality… - Publish during your thesis… - Publish after submitting your thesis…
  • 8. WHERE TO PUBLISH Publish in the ‘right’ journal for you & your research: Journal Citation Ranking Lists • SCImago Journal Rankings – main metric is SJR value • Journal Citation Reports – main metric is Impact Factor • Google Scholar Metrics – main metric is h5 index & h5 median • ERA 2012 – inclusion on the list indicates it is recognised as good journal General information about Journals • Ulrich’s – journal scope, publication frequency, language etc. • Cabell’s – acceptance rate, time to review, number of internal and external reviewers etc.
  • 9. WHY EVALUATE JOURNALS? Use journal metrics to evaluate the quality of journals for: • Grant applications • Academic employment/promotion • Identify which journals are best for you to publish in
  • 10. THE PUBLISHING PROCESS… Identify audience or readership Determine publication priorities and time frame Check quality of journal/publisher/editorial board Consider publishing options e.g. open access Potential target journal(s) selected
  • 11. EXAMPLE DECISION MAKING PROCESS… Is the journal peer-reviewed? Does the scope, publication frequency, acceptance rate etc. fit with your goals Is the journal of high quality? Is the journal open-access? Yes No Forget it! Depends on your goals - Ulrich’s - Cabell’s Consult - Journal website Consult - Ulrich’s - Cabell’s - Journal website ConsultNo Forget it! - JCR - SJR - Google Scholar - ERA Yes Consult YesNo Give careful thought about publishing here Submitting your article to this journal seems appropriate
  • 12. GENERAL TIPS • Look at the reference lists of papers you read regularly to see which journals are publishing the articles which are central to your research. • Identify a couple of options to publish in (rejection is always a possibility). • Carefully select the right journal… consider quality/impact vs. acceptance rate/timeline. Beware of scams!!! • Skim read some of the titles/abstracts/authors who have published in back issues to determine if your research fits with what the journal has published previously
  • 13. MANUSCRIPT TIPS • Cite papers in your manuscript which were published in the journal you hope to be published in • Carefully follow author guidelines for submission • Pay attention to the details. Editors/reviewers hate badly written manuscripts full of spelling/grammatical errors • Answer all comments from reviewers; take your time and show that you value their opinion • Don’t take rejection personally – it happens to the best of us!
  • 14. If you have been publishing from your thesis during your candidature, consider… Reuse of your material > manage your rights > permission • Confirm with your publisher what rights you’ve retained as the author, and under what conditions you can use your own work. • Ensure that your publisher gives you permission to use your published work within your thesis and to self-archive. • You can check and compare the policies of different publishers, using the SHERPA/RoMEO and OAKList databases or go to individual publishers’ websites. THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
  • 15. If you plan to publish either your completed thesis or parts of it post completion…… An extra factor to consider is the choice you now have as a result of recent amendments to Deakin’s Higher Degrees by Research (HDR) Assessment Procedure about open access to your thesis 23 Candidates may elect to allow access to their entire thesis via Deakin Research Online, or limit access to the thesis citation, abstract and metadata only. Where access via Deakin Research Online is limited to the citation, abstract and metadata, the Library will make individual digital copies available for consultation, loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968
  • 17. SUMMARY 1. Consider the match b/w your research and the journal (Ulrich’s, Cabell’s) 2. Develop a shortlist of potential journals which seem appropriate 3. Evaluate the quality/impact of these journals (JCR, SJR, Scholar metrics) … then submit! Good Luck!
  • 18. MORE INFO For information on making publishing decisions and using tools to evaluate journal quality, contact: • Your Faculty Liaison librarian • Check out our website • Try a journal finding tool like Journal Finder or JournalGuide

Editor's Notes

  1. NOTE: high impact journals generally take longer to review your research and have a low acceptance rate. However, middle of the range journals with similar quality can sometimes widely differ in how long the review process takes.
  2. Intro this slide by saying, “After considering your strategic goals, your second aim should be to publish in a journal of at least moderate quality, and you may even want to aim higher. You can evaluate the quality of journals using a number of tools. This slide lists some of these tools, so you can be selective and strategic in which journals you choose to submit your manuscript to”. *This is a summary of the tools – you will note I have not included everything. I think that ERA can be confusing since it doesn’t actually rank journals (but to be on the list a journal must be of decent quality). I see this slide as an overview of some of the key tools and not as a comprehensive list. I have not included much detail on the slide as I see you using this as an introduction to the tools and then demonstrating how to use each of them by going live.
  3. Point 2: to demonstrate impact of your work
  4. NOTE: high impact journals generally take longer to review your research and have a low acceptance rate. However, middle of the range journals with similar quality can sometimes widely differ in how long the review process takes.
  5. NOTE: high impact journals generally take longer to review your research and have a low acceptance rate. However, middle of the range journals with similar quality can sometimes widely differ in how long the review process takes.
  6. Find out more about the journal by searching for it on Ulrich’s, Cabell’s or the journals website. Consider the topic of your research – does it match the scope of the journal? What about your timeline – does the journal’s review time match yours – do you have a deadline/time when you need this paper accepted? Is the journal open access? Peer-reviewed etc.? Select a couple of journals that you think might be appropriate to publish your research in (always give yourself a back-up as rejection does occur – in fact, many journals have very high rejection rates and this differs with the quality of the journal – with higher quality journals having lower acceptance rates). Use factors such as the quality/impact of the selected journals, in conjunction with whether the journal is open access, peer-reviewed, the acceptance rate and how long the review process takes to decide which journal to submit your paper to.
