Publication guidelines
Guideline for Publication Activities at CEITEC MU
Formal Study Requirements for Publications
Life Sciences
- The student has to be the first author of at least one publication in a journal with IF Q1.
- If this journal has not IF Q1 in the given field of study, there should be two more publications in journals with IF Q1 or Q2 of which the student should be a co-author.
- For projects on which more scientific teams collaborate (and each is, for example, responsible for a different part of the expertise), shared first-authorship is eligible. In such a case, the student should clearly declare his/her contribution to the work and the results included.
- In case you plan to publish an article in an open-access journal without an impact factor, consult your intention with the members of the Executive Committee of the Life Sciences Doctoral Board immediately. The committee will review the specific situation and quality of the journal and decide whether such output will meet the requirements for completing studies.
Molecular Medicine
- The PhD student must have at least one first-author publication in an international research journal with an impact factor above the median IF in the field or have two first-author publications with the IF in Q3.
