Abstracts

How to Get Published in High Impact Journals
You've discovered something extraordinary and you want to tell the world about it. And so you want to publish your discovery in a high impact journal. But which one should you choose? In this talk, the speaker will try to answer any questions you have about getting published in a high impact journal. He'll also cover: what editors look for in the papers that they consider for publication; the mechanics of how submissions are handled; how to decide if your paper could be for them; how to prepare a submission; and what to do when you think the editors (or their referees) have got a decision wrong. And, of course, what are they looking for in China?

From Open Access to Open Research
The Open Access movement began with the belief that the fruits of research should be available to all. Its aspirations have now grown, with calls on scientists to open up all aspects of their research. Premier Li Keqiang recently declared that, “Open access to scientific knowledge and the nurturing of next generation researchers are what are needed nowadays and fit well with our future direction.” In this talk, the speaker will cover some of the recent developments in open access publishing and the global trend towards making science more open. He’ll discuss some of the things that motivate researchers to publish their work open access — from the altruistic to the selfish. And he'll describe some of the things his group are doing to help scientists distribute their papers — and even their data — to the widest audience possible.
