Preparing your results for publication Hans Lambers School of Plant Biology My credentials Most importantly: (co-)author of many papers Senior author of a textbook: Plant Physiological Ecology (Past) member of (Advisory) Editorial Boards, e.g., Physiologia Plantarum Functional Plant Biology Tree Physiology (Co-)editor of several books Editor-in-Chief of Plant and Soil Did I pass the test? What to publish? Full-length articles are about 5,000 words: a series of experiments making a coherent story Short notes are about 200 words General rule: it is better to publish one solid paper than to split it into two or three short notes Articles in books and reports are less prestigious: publish your primary data in international journals Where to publish? Carefully select the right journal From which journals do you cite papers in your reference list? Which journals publish on a similar topic? Final decision Prestige (“impact factor”) Time to publish (check time between submission of the manuscript and publication) Your experience with a specific journal (attitude of reviewers and editors) Page charges Charges for colour photos What exactly is the “impact factor” (IF)? Put simply: IF is a rough indicator for the quality of a journal in a narrowly defined discipline, e.g., Agriculture Plant sciences Molecular biology It is silly to compare impact factors between disciplines, e.g., Ecology and Molecular Biology Calculation for journal impact factor: A = 1993 citations of articles published in 1991-92 B = number of articles published in 1991-92 A/B = 1993 impact factor Impact factors may change over the years, as published on the ISI website Plan your experiments in such a way that the data can be published Make sure you have a sound question (hypothesis) before you begin your research That hypothesis may not be the same you wish to use when publishing the data Research without a sound hypothesis is hard to write up, but … sometimes there are good reasons to make an “inventor
