The workshop will be held in English and run for two days, on November 24 and 25, 2022.

"Publish or perish" – nowadays this caveat is more valid than ever in science. The motivations driving

scientists to publish their work are diverse: ranging from the dissemination of research results to strengthening one’s own reputation as a scientist. All, ever more important in the context of persuing a scientific career.

The quality of one’s research is commonly measured on the basis of his/her publication output and the visibility of one’s research. Thus, it is vital for young scientists, early in their career, to learn to present their scientific results and to develop publication strategies.

This workshop is aimed at young scientists, who are currently developing or have already developed their own research results and want to publish them in view of a strategic career plan.

The participants will:

• Gain insights into the publication process and different publication formats and platforms
• Discuss pro and contra of Open Access publications
• Receive information about quality criteria for a „good“ publication (the reviewers point of view)
• Come to know about quality assessment (peer review) and measurements of a scientific publication
• Learn about the structure of a scientific publication and the role of tables and graphs
• Be informed about good scientific publication practice
• Learn about a reasonable publication strategy
• Develop an outline for an individual publication strategy based on their short-time and mid-term career plans.

METHODS: This workshop will include a mixture of tools, from short presentations to group work and individual exercises to plenum discussions.

Eligibility: Since this event is organised by the KHYS Postdoc Office, postdocs (who are members of KHYS) will have priority for attending. Doctoral researchers, however, can still register and will be offered a spot if not all places are taken.

If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.

The workshop will be held in English and run for two days, on November 24 and 25, 2022.
