Publishing in Materials Science and How to Maximize your Success
Abstract: Publishing your research results is an integral – if not the most important – part of your research. In this talk, some insight in the publishing process at the inhouse editorial offices of the successful journal family of Advanced Functional Materials will be given. I will clarify the workflow at a publisher from the moment the manu>> arrives until it is published and emphasize the role of the editor in that process. In the second part, I concentrate specifically on the requirements for successful publication in our high-impact journals and explain our requirements for acceptable articles in our journals – and which pit falls authors should avoid in the preparation and submission process. Furthermore, some questions regarding publishing ethics and the use of AI tools in the publishing process will be discussed.
