QUOTE(Madonna Britney @ May 16 2013, 05:03 PM) I am thinking a professor might give an advantage for me in term of paper publication in high impact journal since he/ she has more influence in research community compared to senior lecturer. However, the professor might be busy and spend less time to supervise my project compared to senior lecturer. That's all I'm thinking. FYI, both of them are willing to guide me for my PhD. I don't quite agree with this as a high impact journal is likely to have a double blind review whereby the identity of the authors is concealed from the reviewer |

QUOTE(Madonna Britney @ May 17 2013, 11:27 AM) I realize the fact that we have double blind reviews for high impact journal. However, an influential professor can contact editor of high impact journal to publish his/ her paper without undergoing rigorous and stringent reviews. I learnt this from my friends. How influential is this professor of yours? If a professor needs to resort to such unethical practice, then one may feel that he/she lacks confidence in his/her own research works. |

Anyway, I believe the general view is that you need to look it as a whole package, not just title alone. Good luck :-)
