The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced the launch of Publishing Your Research 101, a new educational, web-based video series. Publishing Your Research 101 is designed to support authors and reviewers with the process of writing, submitting, reviewing, and editing reports of original scientific research intended for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
The video series, freely available from ACS Publications (http://pubs.acs.org/r/publishing101) covers topics such as the essential elements of a scientific journal article, ethical guidelines for authors and reviewers, criteria to consider when selecting a suitable journal for submission, writing a good cover letter, suggesting peer reviewers, responding to reviewer comments and editorial decisions, and guidance for authors who may need assistance with English language writing skills. New videos will be released on a monthly basis throughout 2011.
Publishing Your Research 101 features interviews with prominent authors and Editors of ACS journals about all aspects of the publication process. They provide their unique points of view from their own experiences with ACS journals and offer practical advice for publishing peer-reviewed research intended for interdisciplinary scientific audiences, such as chemistry, biology, medicine, physics, and engineering.
Entitled 'How to Write a Paper to Communicate your Research,' the first video of the series features an interview with George M. Whitesides, Woodford L. and Ann A. Flowers University Professor at Harvard University, whose publishing record includes more than 1000 peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature, with nearly 600 studies published within 17 different ACS journals. Professor Whitesides has served on the editorial boards of numerous peer-reviewed journals. The inaugural video, along with links to additional resources, can be viewed at http://pubs.acs.org/r/publishing101.
The second video in the series, entitled “Writing Your Cover Letter,” will be available online in June, 2011.
