Abstract

The roundtable „Publish and Flourish: Navigating the world of academic publishing journals“ serves as a platform for exchanging information between the editorial teams of scientific journals and the academic community. Three local journals in the field of psychology will present their work, discuss the challenges they face and outline their plans for the upcoming period. The discussion moderator will then introduce selected topics related to the publishing process in psychology, on which journal editorial teams will share their insights. In the final part of the roundtable, participants will have the opportunity to ask specific questions of interest. This roundtable will provide attendees with a deeper understanding of the publishing process in local scientific journals, facilitate information exchange among journal editorial teams and offer insights into the needs and priorities of potential collaborators—authors, reviewers and future editorial members. Special emphasis will be placed on engaging young researchers to successfully navigate the challenging yet rewarding world of academic publishing.
