Abstract Text: This is an invited roundtable intended to help doctoral students and faculty better understand the range of perspectives on the influence of publication-related decisions on career development. 1. Who is entitled to be an author, in what order, on articles and chapters and how is this determined? How much does authorship order, and the number of authors, matter? What are special authorship issues for doctoral students working with research teams (RM, RB) 2. What should be considered in selecting a journal? How should such issues as reputation, citation impact scores, disciplinary sponsorship, and circulation be weighed? Are there special considerations for doctoral student authors? (JM, EP) 3. How are journal articles, and other contributions like chapters and books, evaluated in hiring, promotion and tenure decisions? (MF, JM) 4. How are journal articles, and other scholarly works, evaluated and weighed by reviewers of competitive research grants? (MF, EP) |
