Genial el artículo de Philip E. Bourne “Ten Simple Rules for Getting Published“. Se trata es una recopilación de 10 consejos sencillos para mejorar las posibilidades de que tus artículos científicos sean publicados.

Le he dado un vistazo general, y me ha parecido muy interesante. De todas maneras empaparse los 10 consejos de golpe no me parece muy útil, así que he decidido ir dosificándolos uno a uno.

A ver si multiplicamos nuestra producción científica (o al menos la mía).

Rule 1: Read many papers, and learn from both the good and the bad work of others.

It is never too early to become a critic. Journal clubs, where you critique a paper as a group, are excellent for having this kind of dialogue. Reading at least two papers a day in detail (not just in your area of research) and thinking about their quality will also help. Being well read has another potential major benefit—it facilitates a more objective view of one’s own work. It is too easy after many late nights spent in front of a computer screen and/or laboratory bench to convince yourself that your work is the best invention since sliced bread. More than likely it is not, and your mentor is prone to falling into the same trap, hence rule 2.

¿Leer en detalle 2 papers al día? para mi es imposible, casi ocuparía el día entero con eso. Y lo del journal club… me parece ciencia-ficción. Esto va a ser difícil ¿eh?
