Abstract:
This talk will discuss the challenges of getting published in major international journals. As national agencies, universities and other institutions require researchers to publish in high impact periodicals, this has meant a greater difficulty to publish in major journals, as the number of these remains stable but the number of submissions has increased exponentially. The talk will illustrate these problems with data, provide examples of submissions and respond to questions from the audience.
