Description
Publishing the results of one’s research is an integral
part of the scientific process, yet scholarly journals are
often seen as black boxes by researchers. What happens to a paper after it is submitted? Who is deciding on its fate?
What is the role of the journal editor and the editorial
office? How does the peer-review process work, and are its
core principles still relevant in today’s changing
publishing landscape? In this talk, I will endeavor to
discuss these and other aspects of scientific publishing
from a journal editor’s perspective, and I’ll share my
experience going from the research lab to the “other side”
of scientific publishing.
Matteo Cavalleri obtained his PhD with the Quantum Chemistry group of the
Physics Department at Stockholm University. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Int. Journal of Quantum Chemistry at Wiley since October 2011; Matteo’s role also involves the overseeing of the in-house editorial office of the physical
science journal portfolio of Wiley US (7 journals).
