Our Mission
Maximizing the dissemination and impact of the research conducted by UF affiliated investigators is the key role of Publishing & Impact Services. We do this by promoting and supporting the creation of high-quality manuscripts publishable in highly-cited, peer-reviewed journals; thereby broadening the reach, enhancing the replicability, and increasing the citability and impact of this research.
The Publishing & Impact Services facilitates translational research by:
Training pre- and postdoctoral trainees and early career researchers in creating manuscripts following Good Reporting Practices
Facilitating peer writing groups
Providing consultations regarding journal selection and manuscript submission
Providing training and consulting services regarding research metrics
Advising and supporting authors concerning NIH public access compliance issues
Providing consultations and training regarding research impact
- Other publishing and impact services supported by the ARCS Department are Publishing and Archiving and Research Metrics and Impact
