BITC: Publication Class -- 1. Introduction

Good morning.
My name is Town Peterson.
This is an installment of the Biodiversity Informatics Training
Curriculum focused on how to publish a scientific paper.
It's a long and complicated process,
as anybody who has developed a scientific research paper knows.
So in this set of video modules, what I will be doing is going through
the publication process step-by-step.
This particular clip is simply an introduction.
These are the steps that I'll be covering.
Writing the paper.
Then editing and proofreading your manuscript.
Formatting it for a journal and submitting it to a journal.
Then we're going to talk about how the editor decides to consider
a paper further and send it out for review.
What the reviewers do; and, the suggestions and criticisms that they provide.
What the editor's decision-making mechanism is.
What your role should be in terms of revising your paper for return to the editor.
The acceptance. Page proofs. Corrections.
And then we'll talk a bit about copyright transfer,
which turns out to be a bigger issue in recent years than in previous.
And finally, your paper is published.
So, this is a long process.
And, the idea of this module is to give you some helpful hints and tips
about each step in this process.
Thanks a lot.
