This seminar provides insights into the world of academic publishing from the perspective of Benjamin Heinrich, a senior editor at Nature Nanotechnology, one of the leading journals in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The session discusses the scope and breath of Nature Nanotechnology and aims to demystify the publishing process, from manuscript submission over peer review to publication.
The discussion will cover:

• Criteria for article selection: Understand what editors (or researchers beyond your immediate field) look for in an article.
• Defining novelty: All research is new, but the degree of novelty varies. What are critical factors for publication in high-impact journals?
• Path to editorship: The qualifications and experiences that can help you become an editor.
• A day in the life: A look at the typical daily tasks and responsibilities of a Nature Nanotechnology editor.
• Questions and informal discussion are appreciated.
