Some indicators of a publishing outlet's quality for ERA are as follows:

• The publishing of books is the sole business activity of the publishing company;
• The publishing company is responsible for the production and distribution of books;
• Books released by the publisher are commercially available;
• The publishing company's publication processes include quality control measures such as peer-review, or equivalent in-house quality control, such as expert assessment or review.

If you are contributing a chapter to a publication you might not have control over who you publish with. It is important however to consider the publication's eligibility for ERA, as well as the impact of the publication.

To be held in high esteem, journal articles should go through an approved peer review process.

Open access journals

Some journals or journal collections are made freely available on the web by the publisher, but charge authors a fee to publish.

Some of these journals can have broad readerships because they are of a high standard and also open access. This can result in high impact factors within their fields so are an attractive alternative to more traditional models.

Other open access journals do not charge a fee to publish or to view. The聽聽contains more than 5000 free and pay-to-publish open access journals to choose from.

As with a book chapter, a paper submitted to a conference still needs to聽meet certain criteria for it to be eligible for ERA, and to聽maximise research impact.

Open access

You may wish to consider making your work available within an open access repository, if it is not already. Making your work freely accessible on the web will increase your readership and help to maximise impact.

If you want to reserve the right to make your work available as open access, make sure your publishing contract does not contain clauses that limit your ability to do so. It is important that you consider the long-term impact of your work and your intellectual property (IP).

Researchers are under significant pressure to publish research findings, however any unsolicited approaches by a publisher should be observed with caution. If you are deliberating over an offer to publish from an unsolicited source, it聽it聽useful to consider the following:

• Loss of rights:聽As an author you must be careful not to sign your rights away to a publisher with a poor academic publishing reputation, only to find you no longer have rights to your hard work - especially if that publication is not truly showcasing the quality of your research.
• Loss of reputation:聽A reputation for publishing in quality publications is as important to a researcher as any remuneration through royalties. Many of the publishers that acquire work through unsolicited means in general do not have robust academic publishing procedures in place.
• Waste of Effort:聽With little or no peer-review or editing, a work may not be聽held in high esteem聽eligible for ERA. As such your publishing efforts may have been wasted, and with your rights taken away you may have lost control of your work; leaving you with little opportunity to republish.

What to look out for:

• Unsolicited emails聽from a publisher you have not heard of or have had contact with.
• No peer review process or editorial work flow. Any reputable academic publisher will have in place a peer-review process and editorial workflow. This ensures that the work is of a robust academic standard, raising its potential to be eligible for ERA.
• Publishers that do not have a good, or any academic reputation.聽If you are concerned, it is a good idea to contact Research Services to聽confirm the publisher鈥檚 reputation.
