The pros and cons of different publication strategies are discussed. Students will also learn on which criteria editors and reviewers base their decisions about a submission. Therefore, the course helps students to understand and to manage the publication process. Emerging developments, trends, and issues in conducting and publishing academic research will be discussed.
