• Authors: KUBIATKO Milan

• MU Faculty or unit: Faculty of Education
• Description: When I was thinking about the topic, which would be interesting for the readers of journals, I got more ideas. One of the topics, which is more and more discussed is the problem of publication. Where should the author send his manuscript? He/she should choose a shorter way or try to send his own manuscript to the journal with the demanding reviewing process. But, the author is the person who makes the final decision, our effort is to evoke only thinking about the importance of academic work. What is better? An article in Science or an article in Multidisciplinary Journal of Science Education and Magnetic Resonance. I think, the majority of people will say “Science”. But I think it is a very hard question and it is demanding an answer to it. Why? Because, to publish an article in a prestige journal, like Science is, it is a very long way with many stops. The author(s) of future articles have to communicate with an editor about the suitability, originality, potential readability, intelligibility, potential citations and other factors, which can make your future article appropriate for the journal. And then the right review process will begin. The journals include and also those, who would like to be included in the Web of Science, would try to keep some (unwritten) conditions.
