Accessibility & LanguageDissemination and Open Publishing
Successful publication in books and journals can help with promotion, funding, and institutional reputation. It can get your research out into a more public domain and add to the information knowledge base.
Top tips
1. Ensure you have the correct University affiliation.
2. If your research has potential for commercialisation, talk to the Innovation Office about filing an Invention Disclosure Form.
3. Have a post dissemination plan - press, socials, University of Galway Research Repository.
Academic publishing
As academic publishing moved from print to digital, the traditional business model of paywalled subscription journals is evolving. Open publishing has gained huge traction as the demand for more equitable access to knowledge has been championed, including through the University of Galway Research Repository, our open institutional repository.
We encourage open publishing because it means that anyone can read, download, share, and reuse academic content for free (often with some conditions depending on the license). Articles published through an open model often get more citations and media attention.
We also encourage you to check out our publishing guidelines for researchers, which include tips on maximising your visibility and reach.
Library Research Services/Supports
Our team provides researchers support on open publishing, check out the links below for examples of what we can help with.
Further Dissemination - Conferences
Academic Conferences and Events provide a great opportunity to present your research. If you want to hold your own conference, the University boasts a wide range of conference and meeting facilities.
The Commercial Services Office provides advice and support to assist you in planning and running your conference event, see the Conference and Event Centre page to learn more.
Beyond Dissemination - Communications
We have a Press Office on campus, in the Quadrangle, and they can help you get your research story out into the public domain. Please give the team there as much notice as possible in advance. They are very familiar with journal embargos and will respect those, so let them know in advance when - for example - your next paper has been accepted, and they could work with you on some publicity around that.
Or check out the of the Research Community Portal to learn more about managing and communicating the impact of your research.
