How Science Works

Publications are the money of science
It is money you print yourself
Unlike real money, when you spend it, you get to keep it
Sometimes when you spend it, the amount you keep gets
bigger
You use it for real money from funding agencies
It’s fun
It’s a lot of work
It makes your brain hurt
Sometimes you print a lot of money but it is useless
If you use counterfeit money (plagiarism) you can never
earn money the same way again
Strategy
• When choosing where to publish consider
– What you have to say
– Who you want to reach
– Your time frame
• CFP date, event date
– How much money you have for travel
– Who on your team should go where
Places to Publish
• Journals
– Open dates
• Special Issues of journals
– Cutoff dates
• Conferences
– CFP dates, meeting dates
• Workshops
– Often at conferences
– More select audience
– Less rigid criteria
• Often follow on opportunities
– Conference and Workshop pubs are often extended to
become journal pubs
– Some new info should be included
