The Publishing Ecosystem

Publishing and sharing your research allows you to better understand academic research conventions, learn to balance collaborative and individual work, and jumpstart your career as a researcher. However, the publication process is not always linear. The publication cycle in traditional academic and open online publishing begins with researching and creating, and ends with your work being shared, cited and revisited for future work.

This info-graphic breaks down the publication cycle into inter-connected processes: creation, evaluation, publication, dissemination and access, preservation, and reuse.
