Trailer: The Publication Puzzle - Navigating the World of Academic Publishing

We’ve all heard the saying, “publish or perish”. But what does that really mean in today’s world of academic publishing?

Scientific publishing has been shaping knowledge since the 17th century. Today, it's bigger, and more complex, than ever. Yet, for many inside the world of science, it remains a maze of confusion. For those outside of it, it’s practically a black box.

In a special three-part series, The Random Sample will take you behind the scenes to explore the realities of the publication process. This episode is the first in this series.

We’ll begin by answering some fundamental questions:
How does academic publishing really work?
What factors influence the decision on where to publish?
And what happens when a journal reviews a submitted paper?

Our guest is University of Melbourne mathematician Distinguished Professor Peter Taylor, who shares his perspective as both an Academic and editor-in-chief of two applied probability journals.

Our host is Dr Sevvandi Kandanaarachchi, a Senior Research Scientist with CSIRO.

The Publication Puzzle: Navigating the World of Academic Publishing - Pt 1

Here’s something to toast to. Australia’s wine industry is leading the way when it comes to a very important issue: sustainability.

And Data Science is helping the industry do that!

In this episode, we explore the Data Science project being carried out by the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), how and why it started, and how grape growers and wine makers are coming to embrace these new data-driven efforts.

Our guests are Mardi Longbottom, General Manager for Industry Development and Support at the AWRI, and Bryce Polley, a PhD Candidate at the QUT Centre for Data Science and the University of Adelaide working with AWRI.

Our host is Tim Macuga, Senior Project Officer for the QUT Centre for Data Science and the Australian Data Science Network.
