Publishing considerations
In addition to selecting the publication type (for example a journal article or conference paper) for your research,
some points to consider are:
- Is the publisher reputable?
- Do you have co-researchers or co-authors?
- Are there any issues relating to the authorship of your publication that you need to consider or resolve? See this article on authorship from the RMIT Researcher Portal.
- Would your research profile benefit if your selected publication was open access?
- Are there any copyright implications relating to the publication of your research output?
- How long does the process take from submission to publication?
- If you are planning to publish a journal article:
- read the aims, purpose and scope sections on the journal’s homepage.
