About this talk

• Developing Your Strategy for Successful Scientific Publishing by Khor Khiam Aik, NTU Research Support Office.

We live in a “Publish-or-Perish” academic world and it is crucial to develop a plan to perform good research and to publish the results in an established peer reviewed journal. This talk will provide some insights into the common obstacles to academic publishing and the plans for developing a strategy to achieve a robust publication record. Getting a head start in academic publishing is crucial and such advantage can serve academics for the rest of their career. This talk will also cover how a young academic could develop an effective plan to achieve a cogent body of publications, based on the results of research and on fruitful collaborations.

• Participating in Open Access by Choy Fatt Cheong, NTU Libraries

Open Access (OA) aims to make the content of publications arising from publicly funded research freely and widely available. It relies on inter-dependent relationships between funders, universities, researchers, libraries and publishers. By participating in OA, your work will enjoy wider exposure leading to greater opportunity for discovery, collaboration and recognition. This talk will highlight key developments in OA, and key Library services to support you in this changing world of scholarly communication.
