Discussion and information event in English organised with postdocs and other researchers in mind. All those interested are welcome to attend.
Researchers increasingly face challenges when it comes to selecting high-quality journals. This issue is particularly important for early career researchers because individual reputations, funding and career paths can be jeopardized by publishing in predatory or sub-optimal journals.
This online event in English will consist of an introduction by Professor Bernhard Brümmer, Göttingen University’s Vice President for Research and Sustainability, followed by a presentation by Dr Birgit Schmidt, Göttingen State and University Library (SUB). There will be an open discussion about how best to select publications to promote your career, as well as the currently much-debated topic of research assessment reform, which aims to move away from a “publish or perish” culture. For more information and to better prepare for the event please see the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment.
