Title: The Life Course of your Academic Paper from a Journal Editor's
Perspective
Abstract The life course of your academic paper from a journal
editor’s prospective Your hard work in the lab has finally paid off, it is
time to write down your results and send them to an academic journal. What
happens to your paper after you submit it? Who is deciding on its fate? What
is the role of the journal editor and the editorial office? How does the
peerreview process work and is it really important? Who are the referees of
your paper? How do scientific journals work? How do they finance themselves?
This introductory lecture will cover these and other aspects of scientific
publishing from a journal editor’s perspective. We will also discuss
authors’ best practices when writing the papers, what to consider when
choosing where to publish your work and how measure the impact of your paper
after its publication.
Bio Dr. Matteo Cavalleri is the Associate Editor of the Journal of
Polymer Science: Polymer Physics (Wiley). Before joining the “other side” of
scientific publishing, initially working in the Editorial Office of the
journals family ‘physica status solidi’ , he co-authored circa 20 scientific
papers in the fields of theoretical and physical chemistry, based on the
research carried on during his PhD at Stockholm University and PostDoc at
the Fritz-Haber-Institut of the Max-Planck-Society in Berlin.
