- W2738083836 abstract "1 The ContextOver the last couple of decades academia has changed radically as most universities have developed what I call output driven research strategies. Consequently, academics have to do things that count against the metrics that are embedded within these strategies. It doesn't matter whether you consider these developments are a good thing or a bad thing as, whatever you think, they provide the framework against which you will be judged. They also provide the framework against which you will be promoted (or not) and you will be recruited (or not). Your curriculum vitae (and you) will be audited against these frameworks.I have been involved with supervising PhD students and mentoring staff for many years and this article is based on the experiences I have had helping colleagues develop their careers (some of whom are now professors, readers and directors of doctoral programmes in well-respected universities). I have always tried to impress upon all those I have supervised or mentored the importance of taking a strategic and, some might say, a highly instrumental approach to developing their careers. I try to emphasise to them the importance of developing what I have termed the four pillars of an career and then building a curriculum vitae around those four pillars.The four pillars are:* a robust publications profile (of, preferably, single authored papers in rated journals)* a track record in external income generation (from, preferably, funding councils)* peer esteem in their field* a credible profile in doctoral supervisionOf the four, I see a robust publications profile as the most important pillar but, in the increasingly mercenary world in which we live, this is very closely followed by success in external income generation. In some universities, an ability to generate external income might even come first.The aim of this paper is to provide guidance to doctoral students and more junior academics on developing a credible publications profile. It is unlikely that a recent PhD graduate or junior will be able to a paper published in a top journal unless the paper is co-authored with a more senior academic. Co-authoring papers with a more senior when you are in the early stages of your career can be a sound tactic.All publishing careers have to start somewhere and, for most doctoral students and junior academics, their first foray into airing their work in public is when they present a paper to a conference. Consequently, the purpose of this article is to provide some guidance on how to turn a conference paper into a refereed journal article. As a former cricketer, the most important thing you need to do when you go out to bat is to get off the mark. Few batsmen ever off the mark by hitting a six and most are happy just to push a quick single to their innings moving. When you have got off the mark, your real job is then to build a solid innings that looks impressive in the scorebook.1.1 Be selectivePresenting a paper at a conference often gives the researcher their first chance to expose their ideas to what can be a very critical (and sometimes pedantic) audience. Obviously conferences vary considerably in quality. Highly rated conferences expose candidate papers to robust peer review prior to acceptance. If you have got through this process, there is a good chance that you have a paper of publishable quality. Your task is now to your paper accepted in as high a quality journal as you can. However, the height of the hurdle you have to jump to a paper published in a reputable journal is considerably more difficult to clear than the one you have just negotiated to your paper accepted at a conference.Other conferences (of the less esteemed variety) will allow almost anyone to present anything often to a handful of younger, less experienced researchers or academic tourists (of which, there are many and whose ranks you should not join). …" @default.
