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
