Publishing
There are several issues that you will need to consider if you decide to publish your research. You will need to think about how you want to publish your work – as a book, a book chapter, a journal article, and then choose a publishing model.
Please read the Publishing guide written by the University's Copyright Office which discusses different publishing models.
For University regulations on Authorship and Publication please refer to the Code of Conduct for Research and the Melbourne Research website.
