Summary

For research projects, it is important to develop a publication strategy as early as possible.

The correct and widest possible and targeted dissemination must be planned: For example, should research results be published as quickly as possible or is it primarily about prestige for the next career step? Not to forget, careful consideration must be given to which rights are transferred to whom in order not to obstruct interesting opportunities in the future and not to get into legal or financial difficulties.

The funding options for the publications - if funding is needed - must be clear as early as possible. And, of course, the requirements of the funding institutions must be clarified and incorporated into the strategy.
