Publishing strategies and research visibility doctoral course
The PhD course Publishing strategies and research visibility is primarily aimed at doctoral students and junior researchers at Örebro University.
During the course we will go through different aspects of the publishing process, such as how to choose the right journal, both when it comes to scientific quality and potential impact. Other topics will be open access, predatory journals, Creative Commons licenses, researcher profiles and basic bibliometrics.
The course is taught through interactive meetings (e.g. seminars and workshops), as well as lectures. Focus will be on active participation during workshops, where the participants learn by doing. In preparation of each teaching session there will be assigned reading and/or an individual assignment.
Publishing strategies and research visibility is offered every Autumn and Spring term, and it is equivalent to 3 credits. The teaching sessions are mandatory and consist of meetings both on campus and in Zoom. The campus-based meetings will be on Campus Örebro and Campus USÖ.
Language of instruction is English.
The course is filled on a first-come, first-served basis, but priority is given to applicants who have completed at least one year of their doctoral studies. There is a maximum of 20 participants, and a minimum of eight participants is required for the course to be offered.
