Description: Publication in good journals is a sign of high international recognition of your work. Writing good papers that can be accepted for publication on high level journals are one of the important tasks during a Ph. D. study. This course tries to help the Ph. D. students to increase their chances to get their papers published in international journals. To serve the goal, in this course

• First, the procedure about how the paper review process is carried out will be explained (starting from the moment you submit your paper to the time that you get the reviewers’ comments and until the final decision).
• How will the paper be reviewed by the reviewers.
• Standard evaluation forms that will be filled in by the reviewers for different journals.
• Important aspects to consider when you write your paper. (Paper structure, what to do and what not to do)
• How to include citations to others work in a paper
• How to write the reply-to-the-reviewers letter.
• Case study – from a rejected paper to an accepted paper.
• Exercises
Examples will be given mainly in the Energy Technology area in terms of journals – but most of it has a generic structure in terms of peer review process.
