Accelerating you academic career and publishing in top journals

Talk given by professor Ian Hodgkinson at UTFPR Curitiba today (August 22nd, 2018).

Main takeaways

You must have a Research Pipeline.  The aim is to always have something under review. You will reap rewards from your current effort in 2 a 6 years. Don't expect immediate gratification. Submit to a mixture of mid-range and high-end journals.

Visualize you ideas to keep focus. Have something like a Kanban board (at your office or at home) displaying your research ideas.

Profile Building. Besides going to conferences and workshops,  have a profile on Academia, Research Gate and Google Scholar.

Do some research related activity everyday (except weekends) for at least 20 minutes.

Keep your CV up-to-date.

Read the Introduction from papers published in the best journals of your area. Imitate how they do that.
