"A" journal. Tick.

I'm not expecting the people who make the decisions about my academic future to congratulate me, but I can take a quiet personal satisfaction that I have an article in press from an "A" Journal.


Given that currently, "A" publications are the only thing that universities value, I should be very happy about this. And I'm happy enough.

And it's unlike another ones I might be getting soon - where I'm a part of a large team by virtue of contributing to the process quite some time back. Something i need to thank that particular authoring team for.

This paper is something from my PhD, with me as the lead author and one of my PhD supervisors as co-author. So it's another box ticked. Wherever I end up in the next few years, it's just a fact that can stand here behind me.
