 ==== Getting Your Work Published ====
-|   |   |
+|  When is your research project done?  | Before you start a research project you should decide what kinds of milestones are needed to publish the work in full or in part.   |
-|   |   |
+|  When your project is done  | If you did your research with public funding (e.g. H2020, ERC, Rannís, etc.) you must publish the work in one or more freely accessible outlets.   |
+|  Where to publish?  | Based on your topic, find the best outlet you think will accept the work. Look at prior papers/work that has been published in that outlet to decide if yours fits.   |
+|  Importance  | Several measures exist for scientific outlets - journals, conferences, etc. - and individuals, mainly based on citations. |
+|  Impact Factor  | The average number of citations to articles published in science and social science journals [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_ranking#Measures|link]]   |
+|  h-index  | For individuals: an individual researcher with an index of h has published h papers each of which has been cited in other papers at least h times. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index|wikipedia]]  |
+|  h10-index  | Number of publications cited at least 10 times.  |
+|  example  | [[https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=tET7SJ8AAAAJ&hl=en|Thórisson on Google Scholar]]   |

+===The Peer Review Process===
+|  Step 0  | Scientist does research, writes up results and submits a scientific paper to a selected outlet.   |
+|  Step 1  | Editor or conference chair receives submission, decides who should review. The selected review group, typically 3 or more scientists knowledgeable in the field in question, is called the peer review group.   |
+|  Step 2  | Paper sent to peer review group (typically 3 reviewers) with a deadline for returning their review, along with instructions.  |
+|  Step 3  | Editor gets reviews back from reviewers.  |
+|  Step 4  | Editor has to decide, based on reviews, whether to (1) accept paper as-is, with no changes (very rare!); (2) accept paper with minor revisions; (3) accept paper with major revisions; (4) reject paper.  |
+|  Step 5  | Editor sends result of reviews along with his decision for 1, 2, 3 or 4 above.  |
+|  Step 6  | Conclusion 1, great! You're done. Your paper will be published as-is. \\ Conclusion 2: Use the reviews to improve your paper, send back to editor. Editor may request a shortlist of how you improved the paper. Your paper will be published with your changes. \\ Conclusion 3: You will need to do major work to improve the paper (e.g. more experiments or compare more algorithms or systems). Your paper will probably be reviewed by the same 3 reviewers. The editor may ask you for a shortlist of how you addressed the reviewers' concerns.   |
