Quality or quantity: publications profile and career planning
Thursday 22 February 12:00 until 13:30
Library Meeting Room, 2nd floor
Speaker: Prof Gordon Harold and Prof Rachel Thomson
Part of the series: Sussex Research Hive Seminars
This seminar will explore how researchers, at any career stage, can plan their personal publication strategy in the face of competing imperatives: from the REF, from career progression ambitions, from publishers - and from their own research aims. Should researchers maximise quality or quantity in their publication output, and how does that translate into real-world planning and finding the time to publish in the right place? This session will also explore how varied perceptions of research quality – arising from journal peer review, the REF, or metrics – affect researchers in planning their publications, and how researchers can take these perceptions into account whilst avoiding perverse incentives and other pitfalls.
Speakers:
Prof Gordon Harold, Andrew and Virginia Rudd Chair in Psychology
Prof Rachel Thomson, Professor of Childhood & Youth Studies
Chair:
Dr Ian Carter, Director of Research and Enterprise
