本文主要介绍Dr. Serkan Saydam 和Dr. Vladislav Kecojevic在采矿教授协会（Society of Mining Professors）中进行的针对采矿工程专业学者发表出版物的策略调研。通过这篇文章我们可以对国外采矿行业学者对于出版物发表的看法有一个总体的认识。

备注：采矿教授协会成立于1990年，是一个全球性的学术组织，旨在从科学、工程、学术及专业知识的层次为人类提供可持续的矿产资源。该协会也开展各种活动以促进其协会成员进行采矿行业信息交流、研究、教学等各种层次的合作。其协会官方刊物为：Mining Technology。该协会为付费组织：成员：60欧元，退休成员：30欧元，荣誉会员：免会费。

Title: Publication strategies for academic career development in mining engineering

Authors: Serkan Saydam and Vladislav Kecojevic

Abstract: Academics in mining engineering around the world are expected to publish their research as part of their career development. Different schools have different strategies and expectations for publishing and evaluating the value of the publication. Using an online survey, we asked members of the Society of Mining Professors (SOMP) to indicate in which publication types they publish the most (refereed journals; non-refereed journals; refereed conferences;nonrefereed conferences); to list the names of top refereed journals in which their research work has been published; to tell whether their universities count conference publications in the same way as journal publications; to explain how they measure the quality of a journal; to give the factors that contribute to the decision to submit their papers to any particular journal; if their universities consider ‘‘number of citations’’ of publications and ‘‘h-index’’when a faculty member goes through the promotion process; and whether their universities use any kind of metrics to rank contribution as principal author and/or coauthor of a publication. The results of this research may be used by SOMP members, particularly junior academic staff members, in planning publication activities and strategies that would support their academic career development.
