Writing the manuscript is already challenging and on top of which\, the publishing process is complex and full of pitfalls. This cross-disciplinary course will address the opportunities and challenges that you as a PhD student might face in disseminating your research\, including journal articles (or monographs) and datasets. The aim of the course is to provide you with knowledge\, skills\, and tools for publishing your research in an open and responsible way\, and in accordance with requirements from your university\, your funder\, and your research community. Through discussions with the course instructors and your fellow participants\, you will gain insight into traditions and practices across disciplines and look at academic publishing from different perspectives.\n\n \n\nCourse content \n\nThe course will cover the following topics: \n\n\n \n Copyright in publishing \n \n\n\n\n \n Open Access publishing \n \n\n\n\n \n Creative Commons licenses \n \n\n\n\n \n Publishing research data (according to the FAIR principles) \n \n\n\n\n \n Scholarly profiles and research activities \n \n\n\nPlease note that this course will not address writing the manuscript or navigating the submission process. \n\nYou will have the opportunity to engage with experts from the university library and put forward all questions and concerns you have about publishing your research.
