PhD students and PostDoc researchers feel intense pressure to publish their thesis through a prestigious publisher or journal. Usually as a monograph (AHSS) or extracting papers for journals (STEM) * 2 REF pressure. Academics, particularly those in the early stages of their career, feel a compelling pressure to publish material. Anecdotally, their publishing related strategies appear skewed toward quantity of publications, rather than fewer with more cohesive narratives. 3 Map out next steps based on publication timetable. Reliable publication timescales appear to be rare. Understanding when work will be released publicly is essential to the planning of future publications, next steps in research, appointments, promotions, REF and grant applications to name but a few instances. Note: new publishers e.g. Openbook and eLife have differentiated themselves by focussing on providing reliable publishing timescales. 4 Determine publishing strategy How, when, where and what to publish is a complex decision. Factors include: the status of the topic in the wider academic community, the perceived impact of the work, the need to publish, the desired audience, timing in relation to similar work and the presentation style. Note: Early career academics are rarely able to practice this decision making process. Additionally, the complete range of factors determining the outcome of a publishing decision have not been identified in this study. Research to Identify the range of factors is highly recommended. 5 Pay for copyright material. The type and amount of material nor the final publication media are know in advance of completing work, making it hard to plan for and fund licensing copyright material. Open Access publication models will complicate this as volume may not be prescribed in the initial contract. 6 Pay APC (after acceptance). The tasks and responsibilities surrounding the organisation, management and payment of APC charges are confusing and surrounded by myth and rumour. Adoption of and engagement with Open Access is hindered by anxiety centred around loss of academic autonomy. 10 Appointments and career development. Peoples approach to publishing varies between fatalism and optimistic determination. PostDoc and early career academics perceive an unequivocal link between the prestige of the publisher or journal and their career. The current publishing system is opaque, complex and changing rapidly. The success of their career hangs on publishing early, frequently and for maximum prestige. The decisions that lead to publishing are difficult to judge there are opportunities to more junior academics make these decisions better whatever their attitude is to begin with. 7 Negotiate & agree contract with publisher. The publishing landscape has changed substantially since senior academics learnt their negotiating skills. The established processes of sharing wisdom and skills with junior academics has been overturned. Contract negotiation is now tackled with little opportunity for rehearsal. People are apprehensive about their legal position regarding their work and their responsibility to Open Access. 8 Publish to a departmental website. People will always take the path of least resistance to complete a task, particularly tasks where the value to the individual is perceived as minimal e.g. engaging with university / departmental IT services to update webpages or adopting 'new' services like DSpace. People around the university are inundated with information, services and requests for help where the value to the individual is hard to see. The case for using services needs to be coupled to value and aligned to a path of low resistance. 9 Research Excellence Framework. Everyone is completing the REF for the first time and therefore it's not well understood. Lack of understanding breeds disquiet and myths are advanced. Politically, it appears, the REF should be deplored, leading to an increased circulation of REF myths. ê,SXEOLVKQRZWRLQćXHQFHWKHZRUOG QRWWRLQćXHQFHP\FDUHHU,MXVWZDQW WREHUHDGë WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD ,EHFDPHDVHQLRUIHOORZ\HDUVDJR(DUOLHULQP\FDUHHU, FRQVLGHUHGTXLWWLQJDVP\GHVLUHWRGRWKHULJKWWKLQJDQGVKDUHP\ NQRZOHGJHFRQćLFWHGZLWKP\SXEOLVKLQJREOLJDWLRQV :KDWPRWLYDWHVPH 0\ZRUNLVDQH[WHQVLRQRIP\EHOLHIWKDW,VKRXOGWU\WRPDNHWKHZRUOGDEHWWHUSODFH SXEOLVKLQJLVRQO\DPHDQVWRDQHQG :KHUH,ZDQWWRJHWWR ,ZDQWWRFKDQJHWKHZRUOGVRLWèVLPSRUWDQWWRPHWREHZLGHO\UHDGDQGNQRZSHRSOHDUH UHDGLQJDQGPDNLQJXVHRIP\UHVHDUFKDQGLGHDV0\EORJ7ZLWWHUDQG$FDGHPLDHGXKHOS PHXQGHUVWDQGVRPHRIWKHUHDFKDQGLPSDFWRIP\ZRUN 0\DSSURDFK ,NQRZKRZWRSXEOLVK,èYHEHHQGRLQJLWIRUWKHEHVWSDUWRIP\OLIH$WWKLVVWDJHLQP\ FDUHHU,KDYHWKHIUHHGRPWRSXEOLVKP\ZRUNWRKDYHWKHJUHDWHVWLPSDFWRQWKHJUHDWHVW QXPEHURISHRSOHZKLFKLVQèWQHFHVVDULO\WKURXJKDSUHVWLJLRXVWUDGLWLRQDOMRXUQDO ,DFWLYHO\EORJDERXWP\ZRUN,KDYHDODUJHDXGLHQFHRQ7ZLWWHUDQG,HQMR\UHDGLQJDQG UHSO\LQJWRFRPPHQWV,OLNHWKDWGLUHFWLQWHUDFWLRQDQGNQRZLQJKRZPDQ\SHRSOHDUH VHHLQJDQGKRSHIXOO\UHDGLQJP\ZRUN,DOZD\VFRQVLGHUZKR,ZDQWWRUHDFKDQGKRZZHOO UHDGDPHGLXPLVZKHQGHFLGLQJZKHUHWRSXEOLVK :KDWIUXVWUDWHVPH ,èPIUXVWUDWHGE\WKHVSHHGDQGDPELJXLW\HVWDEOLVKHGSXEOLVKHUVRSHUDWHDWDQGWKHLU XQZLOOLQJQHVVWRGLVWULEXWHP\ZRUNPRUHZLGHO\,GRQèWZDQWWKHPWRGLFWDWHKRZP\ZRUN LVSXEOLVKHGDQGGLVWULEXWHG3XEOLVKHUVVKRXOGEHWKHUHWRVHUYHPH,UHFHQWO\FKRVHDQ 2SHQ$FFHVVSXEOLVKHUDQGIRXQGWKH\ZHUHPXFKPRUHWUDQVSDUHQWDQGIDVWHU ,èPQRWXQGHUWKHVDPHSUHVVXUHDV\RXQJDFDGHPLFVWRGD\,WIUXVWUDWHVPHWKDWFDUHHUV DQGDSSRLQWPHQWVDUHRIWHQGHWHUPLQHGE\PHDVXUHPHQWVOLNHLPSDFWIDFWRUZKLFKUHDOO\ OLPLWMXQLRUDFDGHPLFVSXEOLVKLQJFKRLFHVDQGIRUFHWKHPWREHKDYHLQZD\VWKDWGRQèW VXSSRUWWKHLUUHDOJRDOVDQGEHOLHIV :KDW,WKLQNDERXW2SHQ$FFHVV ,EHOLHYHLQ2SHQ$FFHVVDVLWDOORZVSHRSOHZKRZRXOGQèWRUGLQDULO\UHDGP\ZRUNWRDFFHVV LW6KDULQJP\UHVHDUFKZLGHO\LQFUHDVHVLWèVYDOXHWRWKHZRUOGDQGRIFRXUVHLWèVWKHULJKW WKLQJWRGR+RZHYHU,èPDQ[LRXVWKDWWKHRSHQDFFHVVPRGHOSURSRVHGE\WKH5&8.PD\ GLVUXSWP\IUHHGRPWRSXUVXHLQWHUHVWVSXEOLVKDQGGLVWULEXWHLQWKHZD\,ZDQW :K\DUHWKH\DFKDOOHQJH" ,YDQUHVSHFWVWKHIUHHGRPWKH8QLYHUVLW\SURYLGHVEXWIHHOVWKHVHIUHHGRPVDUHXQGHU WKUHDWDVWKHDFDGHPLFZRUOGFKDQJHV+HQHHGVUHJXODUUHOHYDQWFRPPXQLFDWLRQWRDOOD\ WKRVHIHDUV ,YDQ 62 ,1)/8(1&(6$1'027,9$7,216 5() 6WDWXVTXR 6HHNVFUHGLW ,QćXHQFHWKHZRUOG 0HQWRUMXQLRUV ([SORUHĆHOG 7HFKQRORJ\XVH &DUHHU 6WUDWHJLF )RFXVVHG %URDGFDVW (PHUJHQW 38%/,6+,1*$3352$&+ .(<&+$5$&7(5,67,&6 5HDFKHVRXWWRWKHZRUOG $FWLYHO\EORJV &RQQHFWVWKURXJKVRFLDOPHGLD &ROOHJHSRVLWLRQ Senior fellow 'HSDUWPHQWDOSRVLWLRQ N/A 'LVFLSOLQH Chemistry 6W\OHRIZRUN Group 3XEOLVKHG Journal, book, conference, blog, Twitter %$&.*5281',1)250$7,21 I’ve been a senior lecturer for many years now. I try to use my publishing experiences to help junior members of my team because I know that the pressure on them is more intense than it used to be. I use every opportunity to push them to network and to publish in relevant publications. What motivates me Setting aside my life commitment to research, I get most satisfaction from helping early career researchers develop their reputation and their academic skills. I want to improve academia simply because I recognise that there are limited opportunities to learn from mistakes. The publishing landscape is too complex and the stakes are too high for it to be left to chance. Where I want to get to My experiences of academia as a PostDoc researcher left me feeling that there should be more guidance for young academics by demonstrating not just what to do but also how to and when to do work. A quick, consistent publishing process while supporting researchers’ goals is important. I want to amplify change through academia by mentoring people and guiding the next generation of academics. Therefore I recommend Open Access publishing LQDOOLWVIRUPVRYHUSXEOLVKLQJWKURXJKSXEOLVKLQJYHKLFOHVUXQIRUSURĆWEXW,VHHWKDWWKLV isn’t an easy choice for many early career researchers. Experience goals Junior academics only have a limited amount of time to do research, write and publish their work where it can be counted toward REF, while academics seeking promotion need to be able to present published work in readiness for the appointment process, or they stand to wait another year for the work to count toward their job prospects. Therefore publishing in a transparent, easy way to navigate, while demonstrating fair play is important to me. What frustrates me The nature of academic employment is changing. There are more researchers than there are permanent academic positions. The pressure on them to publish in order to get a job has never been greater. The publishing decisions that a junior researcher makes will have profound effects on the direction and success of their career. The decision making process is complex, factors like where to publish, when to share publicly, how to best present the work are poorly understood at the beginning of a career, and on top of that they’re poorly communicated. What I think about Open Access I’m concerned that the RCUKs proposal for Open Access will lead to a ‘committee’ having control over what is deemed acceptable research. The advent of Open Access will change the environment again and will need to be incorporated into graduate training too and that will change the strategies for publishing.

I’ve had opportunities that have led to my appointments, but I feel they’ve mostly occurred as a result of the work that I’ve carried out, not through planning. What motivates me I thrive on exploring every last detail and nuance of my area of study. It’s the most important part of my academic life. Of course, I’d like it if my work made a difference to other people, but I don’t let that affect what I do. I do research for it’s own sake.

Nothing pleases me more than to hear a new idea or perspective that allows me to see my research in a new light and explore new paths. Talking about my research at conferences and as a lecturer help me to structure my thoughts and allows me to explore the language I use to describe and communicate my ideas. For me writing a monograph is just a way to document my work; I like to look at it as a part of the thinking process rather than a strategic way of publishing.
