Enhancing Scientific Profile: EMCDDA's Work and Scientific Publishing

This document discusses key questions regarding how the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) can improve its scientific profile and increase the number of publications in peer-reviewed journals. It explores the structure of EMCDDA products and suggests procedures for commissioned and internal products, with a focus on manuscript development, authorship, and journal selection. The role of the Scientific Committee in advising on publishable items and manuscript quality is also addressed.

  9. 4. Suggested procedures II • Cave! • Pre-publishing of manuscript contents in EMCDDA publications might be a risk for scientific publishing. • Function of the Scientific Committee • advice for selection of “publishable items” • evaluation of manuscript quality • advice for selection of journals • possible authorship

  10. 4. Suggested procedures III 4.2 Internal products • preparation of task/project: • consider possible subtopics for publication • during planning process: • consider publication task and time requirements • staff selection: • consider scientific and publication competences and/or • look for external co-authors • during product development: • clarify authorship • allocate tasks • select the journal (manuscript requirements)

  11. 4. Suggested procedures IV • Cave! • Pre-publishing of manuscript contents in EMCDDA publications might be a risk for scientific publishing. • Function of the Scientific Committee • advice for selection of “publishable items” • evaluation of manuscript quality • advice for selection of journals • possible authorship
