Navigating Ethical and Practical Challenges in Modern Publishing
‘How to Publish from an Editor's Perspective: Tips for a Young Writer’
by Prof Indika Mahesh Karunathilake
‘Publishing Ethics in the Wake of AI’
by Dr Ruwan Gamage
The University Librarians Association of Sri Lanka (ULA) is planning a webinar titled ‘Navigating Ethical and Practical Challenges in Modern Publishing’ scheduled for May 16, 2024 at 10.30am.
Synopsis:
Publication of scientific literature in peer reviewed journals is now an expected and integral aspect of an academic's role. Increasingly universities and other academic establishments insist on proof of publication as criteria for consideration of career promotions. This trend has resulted in more young academics attempting to publish their work, especially research findings. However, due to the competitiveness, the expected standards of journal editors are high. Consequently, getting a paper published is not easy. This session will provide the tips for young writers to maximize the likelihood of publication success. This discussion will give an insider's view on how decisions are made "behind the scenes" during the review process. An original, practically important, academically rigorous study, presented as a well written manuscript and a strategic approach based on a clear understanding of how reviewers and editors make decisions will maximize the publication success rate of a young writer. Also, the areas of authorship and originality, transparency and disclosure, data privacy and integrity, ethical impact assessments, and AI literacy in publishing research will be discussed.
Flyer is attached herewith. Please note that the session is free of charge, but advance registration is required. The Zoom link will be shared with registered participants later.
