Getting published: a guide from journal writing to academic impact

Welcome!

This guide is designed to provide advice and guidance on the process of getting published along with important information on topics such as persistent identifiers and Open Access, predatory publishing, authors rights, contracts and copyright, and getting your research out there to make an impact. 

A revised version of the University of Derby Publication and Open Access Policy was approved by the University's Academic Board in January 2024. The policy can be found on the Policy Hub on the intranet.
