Strategic publishing

This guide provides information on applying strategic measures when considering publishing, promoting and tracking your research.

Choosing a publication type

Selecting an appropriate publication type for your work is critical, so consider:

  • Which publication type (book, book chapter, conference paper or journal article) is most appropriate for your research? Can you justify and explain your selection?
  • Are books and book chapters well regarded in your discipline? For example in the humanities field of Art, books are an acceptable type of publication. Are your colleagues / supervisors publishing in books?
  • Are conference papers well regarded in your discipline? For example in the field of Computer Science, conference papers are an acceptable type of publication. Are your colleagues / supervisors attending conferences and publishing peer reviewed conference papers?
