Course title: Scientific Impact for Chemical Engineers – Getting Published and Beyond

Schedule: 28 October 2025

Synopsis
Getting published in top-tier journals is now a prerequisite for successful academic careers. Even with the proliferation of publication opportunities, the global stage remains highly competitive due to rising productivity and impact norms across all fields. Chemical engineering is not exempt from this trend.

This seminar is designed to provide an editor’s perspective of the scientific publication process to guide prospective contributors to optimize their results. Topics covered include:

• The global “big picture”
• Preparing submissions to be published in top-tier journals
• Navigating the peer review process
• Maximizing scientific impact
• Promoting your work using social media

The seminar is intended for faculty members and students doing research in chemical engineering and allied disciplines. It will be delivered by an expert panel consisting editors of major journals.
