Basics of Scientific Publishing
Publishing is part of the very essence of scientific work. And yet, many young researchers enter this phase of their professional careers unprepared. But publishing is not merely the result or “end point” of research; it is a fundamental part of the scientist’s profession, always with the goal of making results and one’s own work visible and accessible for further use, helping to shape scientific discourse, and supporting one’s own career.
