What to publish and with Who? 1. Authorship (you or co-authors?) Authorship is defined by the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007) as follows:Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research Attribution of authorship depends to some extent on the discipline, but in all cases, authorship must be based on substantial contributions in a combination of: conception and design of the project analysis and interpretation of research data drafting significant parts of the work or critically revising it so as to contribute to the interpretation.

What to publish and with Who? Publish with your supervisor (honours, PhD). Publish as a sole author. Publish as a co-author. Plan publications (practice contexts, articles, books). Theme your publications. Teaching, methodology publications.

Academic Climate 2. ERA (Excellence in Research Australia) The ERA initiative assesses research quality within Australia's higher education institutions using a combination of indicators and expert review by committees comprising experienced, internationally-recognised experts.

Where to publish… and how? Research your journal, read it, know its aims etc. Can you reference from articles in the journal. Follow all instructions given by the journal. Be professional, like a job interview. Drafts and edit, get others to read it? Respond to every reviewers comments, be polite. If journals ask you to be a reviewer – say yes.

My helpful hints Build publishing into your workload as a PhD student and academic – need to plan for it. Allow time for drafts, editing is really important (use professional editors if needed). Be professional when submitting e.g follow manuscript details, covering letter etc. Read feedback carefully as it might not be as bad as you think, feedback is helpful, respond to it positively, resubmit asap! Set yourself up across topics/variety of articles (theory, practice, teaching). Sole and co-author. Build your track record using publications – impacts on grants and further research. Aim high first.
