Researcher Essentials

Why Publish?

Publishing your research is important and has many benefits including:

  • contributing to society’s body of knowledge
  • increasing the visibility of your research and raising your research profile
  • contributing to the research cycle, where others test and build on your findings
  • increasing your chance of successfully applying for research funding and building new collaborations
  • meeting the expectations of the university, affiliated institutions, and funding bodies.

Strategic Publishing

As a researcher, publishing strategically is an important skill you need to develop. You should choose where you publish based on your career goals and aims.

Benefits of a strategic approach include that you:

  • submit to high quality journals
  • avoid publishing with questionable publishers
  • increase the visibility of your research, raise your research profile and engagement with your work
  • are less likely to have your article rejected as you have carefully considered whether the journal is relevant to the topic of your article.
