Publication is essential to academic life. Among the various publication options, reviewed journal publications uniquely offer a forum for the communication of contemporary original research and focused discussions on selective and specialized topics. They also are an indispensable source for becoming aware of modern trends and publications in research and serve as means of registration, certification, and archival of original works. Publication in reviewed journals is also central to career paths, including both acquiring funding and securing appointments. For these and others reasons, journals have become deeply embedded in academic infrastructure.
