Company News, Training Services and Author Publication Tips

A predatory journal can be defined as a publishing outlet that is purely interested in taking your money and not interested in properly disseminating or publishing your work. Such journals advertise widely, often over email.

Peer review is the cornerstone of academic publishing, the process by which research manuscripts submitted to journals are appraised. Based on the comments of ‘peer reviewers’, journal editors make decisions whether, or not, to accept articles for publication.

One key part of academic development is developing the skills to give great conference presentations. These are skills that can be learned; although some people are naturally talented public speakers, you candevelop and train yourself to be better at presenting your work and ideas.

One of our goals at Charlesworth Author Services is to help you ensure that you get your message across in your papers and that your writing and content is memorable.

In academic publishing, ‘aiming high’ means selecting a target journal with the best possible impact factor.

Increasing volumes of new information are constantly added to the existing medical literature because of new research and data collection, as well as novel clinical experiences.

Typically, academic authors tend to submit their articles to journals via online automated systems and then sit back and wait.

The demands of a PhD can often feel overwhelming, and it is not uncommon to hear of doctoral students being stressed and overworked.

One of the best ways of sharing your research is by publishing your findings, innovative methodologies or original knowledge that you have created through your PhD. 

A preprint is a research article draft completed prior to publication that is then publicly shared by the author(s) prior to, or after, formal journal-controlled peer-review, but before publication. Preprints are documents that are often not typeset or built into online content.

In most cases, the written PhD thesis is the principal way of clearly and cohesively conveying all the elements of your research.

What do I write? How do I start writing? Is my writing good enough? If you’ve found yourself asking these questions, you are not alone. 

The PhD can often feel overwhelming to researchers who are just starting the journey.

Re-using an image from an earlier paper is re-publishing something that you, or another author, has previously used in an earlier article. This is possible, but requires permission in some form or another.

Accurate citation is so important: ensure you’ve actually read a paper before citing it in your own work and be honest with your references.

Most active researchers and academics these days are aware of the concept of open access (OA) publishing and how it works, even though recent scholarly surveys have shown that most remain confused about or simply unaware of how this model could be useful for them career-wise.
