Web resources: working in academia

Anne-Wil Harzing - Wed 8 Apr 2020 12:40 (updated Wed 23 Jun 2021 10:00)

Structured overview of five years of blogposts on the following themes: academic publishing, creating research impact, doing (international) research, academic etiquette, using the Publish or Perish software, academic careers, gender in academia, research focus and conference reports.

Academic publishing

Resources related specifically to academic publishing and academic impact.

Research impact

Doing (international) Research

Resources related to doing academic research, with a particular focus on doing international research.

Academic Etiquette

Shorter tongue-in-cheek posts on how to “behave” in academia. They do have a serious undertone though. Etiquette in academia is probably not a world apart from etiquette elsewhere. But it can’t hurt to be reminded :-)

Using the Publish or Perish software

Posts related to using the Publish or Perish software. Publish or Perish is designed to help individual academics to present their case for research impact to its best advantage, even if you have very few citations. You can also use it to decide which journals to submit to, to prepare for a job interview, to do a literature review, to do bibliometric research, to write laudatios or obituaries, or to do some homework before meeting your academic hero. Publish or Perish is a real Swiss army knife.

Academic careers and career progression

Posts dealing with a range of topics related to academic careers and career progression. Whilst the main focus is on research, there are also topics on administration and teaching.

CYGNA: Women in Academia

Resources focusing on gender in academia, largely based on our two-monthly CYGNA meetings. If you'd like to be on the mailing list for CYGNA, just let me know. Note: many of these topics will be just as relevant for male academics.

Research focus

Short research write-ups that allow you to get the “gist” of research on a topic without having to read the entire article. Most posts relate to my own research on expatriation and HQ-subsidiary relationships, the international research process, and the quality and impact of research, but many Middlesex colleagues and CYGNA members have also published guest posts on my blog.

Support Publish or Perish development

Like my blogposts? Consider supporting one of the other free resources I am offering: Publish or Perish. The development of the Publish or Perish software is a volunteering effort that has been ongoing since 2006. Publish or Perish was designed to help individual academics to present their case for research impact and tenure and promotion to its best advantage, even if you have very few citations. You can also use it to decide which journals to submit to, to prepare for a job interview, to do a literature review, to do bibliometric research, to write laudatios or obituaries, or to do some homework before meeting your academic hero. Publish or Perish is a real Swiss army knife.

Download and use of Publish or Perish is and will remain free (gratis), but your support toward the costs of hosting, bandwidth, and software development is appreciated. Only about one user out of every ten thousand donates, so your support is very welcome. You can support Publish or Perish by donating, or by buying a PDF copy of the Publish or Perish Book or the Publish or Perish Tutorial.

If you find Publish or Perish useful, then this is your chance to say "thank you" to the developers.
