Abstract: Publishing a research paper is usually an exciting experience for most researchers, particularly for students and early stage researchers. This presentation, intended for authors that are new to the process of publishing a technical paper, provides a guide to some of the key considerations that authors need to keep in mind when writing technical papers. Topics covered will include: selection of a venue for publishing your work, paper structure and organization, best practices for abstracts and conclusions, and important considerations for following established etiquette and ethics in scholarly publishing. To provide context and motivation for the discussion the presentation will also provide an overview of: (a) the typical peer review process for an archival journal, (b) conventional subscription and emerging open access models for scholarly publications/data, and (c) publication metrics. Examples will be used to concretely illustrate the ideas being discussed and audience participation and questions are encouraged to allow individual concerns to be addressed in an interactive setting.
