Questions? Where to publish? Dierent quality standards,
selectiveness and impact: Journals more space (usually about 20
pages); more thorough reviews; more impact (especially long-term
impact); more highly rated by selection/promotion committees;
Conference proceedings faster process; quality of reviews depends
on your luck; you have to pay conference fees; direct contacts can
be made at the conference;

Questions? Publications as a performance indicator Some
universities use the amount and quality of publications as a
performance indicator for the researchers; Dierent types of
publications get more value; monographs; book chapters; journal
papers; conference proceedings; handbooks;

Research Papers Typical structure Structure: More Details
Questions? Quality of journal publications Quartile rankings -
journals are ranked based on various bibliometric indices;
impact-factor Journal Citation Reports by Thompson Reuters
(database Web of Science) - 12,500 journals; SJR (SCIMago Journal
Rank), calculated by a research group SCImago in a partnership and
based on data of Elsevier (database Scopus) - 21,000 journals;
Identify level of citations for a journal; NB! Many journals from
humanities do not have an ocial impact factor, therefore it is
recommended to use SJR.

Questions? Rankings impact-factor Journal Citation Reports by
Thompson Reuters (database Web of Science) the impact factor of a
journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year
citations to the source items published in that journal during the
previous two years; SJR (SCIMago Journal Rank) based on data from
Elsevier (database Scopus); is calculated in a more dicult way (it
takes into account the inuence of the journals that refer to this
journal, proximity of the area of a journal etc.);

Questions? Journal quartiles Journals are classied into quartiles;
four levels - quartiles (quarters), ranging from Q1 (the highest)
to Q4 (the lowest); there are thematic categories (Web of Science
about 250, Scopus about 350);

Questions? Rankings - ocial websites are calculated every year and
are published on ocial websites: Journal Citation Reports
(available at www.isiknowledge.com); SCImago JR (available at
www.scimagojr.com);

Questions? Review lifecycle Submit a paper; It gets assigned 3-4
reviewers; Review process (conference: about 2 weeks - 1 month,
journal: 2-3 months); Get decision (binary for conferences, n-ary
for a journal): Decline/reject; Revise and resubmit (cannot be
accepted in the current form and needs revision); Major (can be
accepted but needs major changes); Minor (can be accepted but needs
minor adjustments); Accept as it is; Address comments of the
reviewers and send paper again;

Questions? Evaluation A very important part of your research! Why
do we need evaluation? Allows to assess the results of a method or
a system; Allows to compare results of dierent methods and systems;
Allows to understand why method fails or which parts create
problems; How the evaluation was done? What metrics were used? What
are the baselines? What gold standard?

Analyse them; Try to group; Try to explain why they occur; Suggest
ways to tackle them in the future research; Or describe why you
cannot make it better;

Questions? Conclusions and future work Make nal conclusions about
your experiment; Was your hypothesis proved? Did you get a better
performance than someone else? Why your performance is valuable?
Describe what you plan to do in the future; Are you planning to
address some shortcomings of the current research? Do you want to
use some other data set?

Questions? Tips Make sure it is clear; Readers should be able to
re-produce your experiment; English and formatting are important!
Negative results are still results! But! You need to have solid
methodology!
