WS 3.109: How to get your paper published in a peer-reviewed mountain journal

Publishing insights from your mountain work in a peer-reviewed journal can be challenging. It requires knowledge of the current publishing landscape, an understanding of the journal’s scope and review process, as well as a solid grasp of the basic rules for structuring and writing scientific articles. Drawing on their extensive editorial experience with inter- and transdisciplinary journals and scholarly communications, the session hosts will offer useful tips and recommendations for navigating the publishing landscape. They will cover dos and don’ts when preparing a submission to a peer-reviewed journal, as well as how to respond to reviewers. The workshop is designed to facilitate experience and practice sharing among attendees and journal editors. The session is open to anyone interested in gaining insights into the perspective of journal editors, improving their scientific writing skills, and contributing to advancing a more equitable and just scholarly publishing landscape. The two not-for-profit, peer-reviewed, and open-access journals Mountain Research and Development (MRD) – dedicated to research relevant to sustainable mountain development – and eco.mont – Journal of Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management – publish innovative research and practice papers and reach a broad audience worldwide.
