What are the drivers to getting published?
• Publish or perish– Government subsidy– Student pass post graduate studies– Staff promotion– Department budget– NRF rating– Least publishable unit
• Publish internationally– But work local– Comments “of more value in a local journal”
• Publish in high impact journals– ?

A typical paper
• Introduction
• Material & Methods
• Results
• Discussion
• Conclusion
Start international significance, end local

But that’s not all folks!
• If your work is not cited, then it is also of little relevance– Network ! Network!– Use the reviewer system – Use external examiners– Make scientists aware of your work
• Ultimately good science will get published

So where are we going?
• Invitations to publish books– Germany (thesis)– India
• Open access journals– Price?– Impact? – track record
• African journals
• Too much information – know what is of value– www gives credibility to mediocrity
