Scientific Publications

Knowledge generated through the project can also be dissemination to scientific communities as publications. We have plans to use Open Access Publications and a special issue on GC. These require plenty of work and thus money, but on the other hand can be a convenient method to reach different scientific communities.  

Advantages: Publications are (if properly done) permanent methods of widely disseminating information to key target groups in science. They have potential for high level of quality and acceptance due to peer review and publication reputation. 

Challenges: Extremely cost (time) intensive, and require a very good reason for publication. Self-publication is not very efficient method of dissemination, and existing series (if good quality) will require a lot of work to be published. Publication costs in OA journals/books.

Resources: Requires several months working hours, scientific knowledge and good writing skills. Publication fee.

Recommendation: If key findings of the RI are suitable for publication, this avenue should be actively used. However, the limitations on resources must be considered. Favoring of peer reviewed open access journals is highly recommended. Active advertisement of publications (ie in social media) is essential.
