The FEBS Journal is pleased to present a collection of the best Words of Advice articles published since the launch of the series to date. The articles have been compiled into a booklet that is free to download and share.

The FEBS Journal Words of Advice article series features pieces that are written by experienced scientists and are aimed towards early career researchers, to offer advice coming from personal experience, on issues that are typically only learned through trial and error.

In this book of highlights, we present articles that cover the following topics: ‘How to write a scientific paper’ [1], ‘Avoiding common pitfalls of figure and manuscript preparation’ [2], ‘How to write a good scientific review article’ [3], ‘How to design an outstanding poster’ [4], ‘How to prepare and deliver a great talk’ [5], ‘Choosing the right lab for your post-doctoral fellowship’ [6], ‘How to build a well-rounded CV and get hired after your PhD’ [7], and, finally, ‘How to be a good peer reviewer of scientific manuscripts’ [8].

We hope that our readers, particularly the early career scientists amongst you, will enjoy and gain useful tips and knowledge from these articles. We also encourage you to check out the introduction to the content by our Editor-in-Chief, Seamus Martin, included within the collection [9].

Wie wird der Begriff „wissenschaftliche Publikation“ verstanden, und inwieweit stimmt das mit der aktuellen Praxis und neuen Ansätzen der Forschungsbewertung überein? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich eine aktuelle Umfrage, die sich an Forschende aller österreichischen Universitäten richtet.

Ein Team aus Bibliothekar*innen und Forschenden von Universität Graz und TU Wien freut sich auf Ihre Einschätzung zu folgenden Themen:  

  • Kriterien für die Einstufung eines Werkes als wissenschaftliche Publikation
  • Autor:innen und Zielgruppen wissenschaftlicher Publikationen
  • Im eigenen Fachbereich übliche Arten wissenschaftlicher Publikationen
  • Arten von Forschungsleistungen, die in Zukunft stärker als wissenschaftliche Publikation anerkannt werden sollten

Die Umfrage erreichen Sie über folgenden Link: https://edu.survey.uni-graz.at/index.php/252561?lang=de

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hilmar Brohmer*, Christian Kaier^, Karin Lackner*, Lisa Schilhan*

P.S. Unsere Umfrage wurde an der Universität Graz von Rechtsabteilung, Betriebsrat für das wissenschaftliche Personal und Rektorat eingehend geprüft und im Rahmen einer Betriebsvereinbarung beschlossen, siehe das Mitteilungsblatt vom 6.4.2023: https://mitteilungsblatt.uni-graz.at/de/2022-23/24/pdf/


 

 

Survey: What is a scholarly publication?

The survey was designed at the University of Graz and the TU Wien. We, a team of librarians and researchers, want to investigate how the term "scholarly publication" is understood by Austrian researchers and to what extent this corresponds to current practice and new approaches to research assessment.

We hope to receive numerous responses from researchers at all Austrian universities on the following topics:

  • Criteria for classifying a work as a scholarly publication
  • Authors and target groups of scholarly publications
  • Types of scholarly publications common in their respective field of study
  • Types of research outputs that should be more widely recognised as scholarly publications in the future.

The survey can be accessed via the following link: https://edu.survey.uni-graz.at/index.php/252561?lang=en

Yours sincerely

Hilmar Brohmer*, Christian Kaier^, Karin Lackner*, Lisa Schilhan*
