(Invited) How, Where and Why Do and Should We Publish Our Findings?

Abstract

Your publishing of your scientific findings has many facets; it is the publish-or-perish paradigm, it is a demand to get your degree, it is evaluated at all levels of your future carrier, etc. And surely you are also busy right now with writing your next manuscript to be submitted as soon as possible to a journal with an as high impact factor as possible? But as an early carrier researcher, why not already now stop and reflect a little on your own (future) publication pattern and habits? Have a solid re-think about it, come out more motivated and with a thought-through idea on who you want to be in the publishing landscape. And for those of you in the field of batteries, you will be armed with a bit of concrete input based on some statistics as well as guidelines.1-5 References ”Good practice guide for papers on batteries for the Journal of Power Sources”Li, C.
