STEFAN HELL | NOBEL PRIZE WINNER FOR CHEMISTRY, 2014

Your first article.
First, ask these two questions:
Have I read sufficient articles, books, etc.?Is my research of the same quality as the articles that I consider good?
It is necessary to be optimistic and positive, but a reality check is advisable: it is unlikely that any of us is the next Einstein!

Each journal has a different format (increasingly less so), and thus the target journal must be selected before starting to write.
How do I choose a journal?
• Absolute and relative impact index (JCR).
• Who is my target audience?
• Look at where leaders in the field publish.

I think I have a good article, should I publish it in an open access journal?
Beware! Only do this if, and only if, it is in the first quartile, otherwise the price will rocket!
As a general rule, if the research is relevant it should be sent to the first quartile (JCR).
The order is less relevant (Q1): the audience is the determining factor.

What do the readers look at?
• Abstract-Conclusions-Figures
• They make the decision whether to read or not!
Other factors to take into account:
• Prestige of the institution
• Prestige of the named authors
• Journal quality

Methodology:
• Gives a precise description of the points presented in the introduction, and
expresses the idea before reporting the details.
• It provides sufficient information to enable another researcher to replicate the
experiment.
• Evidence can be: theorems, measurements, case studies, analysis and
comparison.
