Engage with Us and Get Recognized
Initiatives to recognize and reward researchers and their contributions.
Authors, reviewers, Editorial Board members – the list of contributing experts along the research cycle is long. Karger Publishers appreciates the work of all involved in the process of submitting, reviewing, publishing, and promoting a paper. How do we recognize our researchers? Let’s find out.
Authors
Writing and publishing a scientific paper can be a lengthy and complex process. However, being an author is essential to every researcher. It is a learned skill that is perfected over many years in a scientist’s career. Authors have individual needs. Some of them might be at the start of their career writing their first paper, others might be researchers with years of experience in writing and submitting manuscripts. Some work at institutes where they have support from their peers, others work in smaller institutes with less resources. We offer many services and courses that aim to cover the needs of each of them.

Publishing is an important part of a research project, but it also takes a lot of time and effort. We acknowledge each author and support them in all career stages with different rewards.

Publishing With us, an Author’s Experience
When deciding about the authorship of a manuscript you should take in consideration the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). You should also read your target journal’s Aims and Scope and guidelines for authors and consider using the provided templates for the different article types. You may always reach out to our experienced editorial staff in case of questions.
