Faculty Publishing Guide

What is a publishing plan?
 

A publishing plan functions as an organizing tool and also as a road map to help you achieve your research and publishing goals.  You'll use it to flesh out your research question and think through the details of your project, such as:
 

• establishing your research data management plan
   
• choosing which methodologies you'll use
   
• determining your target participants / how you'll recruit them
   
• deciding if it will be a solo project or one with research partners
  • identifying research partners & agreeing on the division of tasks
     
• plotting out a timeline for your project
   
• estimating your budget requirements
   
• identifying potential funding sources
   
• identifying tools/software and training you might require
   
• determining your ideal publishing venue
