How to successfully contribute to the world of
scientific publishing a presentation meant for the
aspiring author or reviewer

Prof. Henrik Rudolph
Ministerie van Defensie, FMW-NLDA-CDC-MINDEF, Netherlands, Elsevier

You may have, at some point, heard the expression “Publish or Perish”. 
It is true that a scientist, who does not publish his or her scientific 
results in a reputable (electronic) journal, will not receive the 
necessary recognition or scientific respect as a scientist. It is often 
a major hurdle for a young scientist to get the first paper accepted in 
a scientific journal. This submission will, most likely, be related to a 
PhD thesis and the aspiring author will benefit from the support from 
their advisor and other senior
scientists.
In this presentation I will give you some tips and suggestions, that 
will improve your chances of having your submission accepted in a 
reputable journal. I will also try to convince you to participate fully 
in the whole process of scientific publishing, including reviewing 
papers for scientific journal or helping others with their papers. The 
tips and tricks are not discipline specific, however, I will also give 
you a behind-the-scenes look at one of the larger scientific journals 
from the publisher Elsevier: Applied Surface Science
with more than 13000 submission per year and an impact factor of 3.387.
