This workshop has helped us to plan our research publication in a manageable and organised manner. There are several learning points that were emphasised - the publication strategies, identification of journals / conferences, issues surrounding intellectual property, authorship, and the handling of data.
Firstly, in term of choosing conferences/journals, we were advise to consider some publishers with good quality, hence our paper should be describing some works that are impactful in the related area. In order to get our paper accepted, we should understand the needs / requirement of the publisher of the target discipline. In short, we have to have a plan for publishing our work.
Next, we came to learn as well the matters surrounding data authorship, ownership and responsibility. Before this, I have thought of "who is responsible for data?". From this session, I have a clearer picture of managing it. The important part is to know clearly publishable vs non-publishable data. We have to identify as well the ownership of the data, such that we don't get into IP trouble. Some methods can be followed to make sure we are in the safe position to utilise the data.
Last but not least, managing of the bibliography is another important technique. We review others' works, such that we have to acknowledge works that have been done before us, and point out clearly the parts that we are contributing. We have to be careful of failing into plagiarism even on our very own work that have been submitted to elsewhere.
Finally, at the end of the workshop, I am thinking of looking into the CORE website to identify some high impact conferences / journals for my research area. Thanks to this session, now I am more prepared to produce a "trouble-free" paper. ^o^
