How to publish an academic paper in science communication

Publishing in a prestigious international journal such as Public Understanding of Science and JCOM, Journal of Science Communication is indeed a desire of researchers in science communication around the globe.

Less obvious, however, mainly for the enthusiastic new generation of young researchers, are the editors' choice criteria, and what can increase the chances of their papers get published.

Having this in mind, we prepared a video, part of the series of “The science of science communication”, we invited Hans Peter Peters, editor-in-Chief of Public Understanding of Science, and Emma Weitkamp, editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Science Communication, to give us tips about getting published in those journals.

The video was produced by the Brazilian Institute of Public Communication of Science and Technology.
