Who is Who? | Director: Anton Zensus |
Where else do I find answers to my questions? | The MPIfR's Intranet provides general institute and staff information. |
Publications: I am author/co-author of a manuscript for a journal or proceedings. What do I need to do? | Approval: All manuscripts with authors from the group need to be approved for publication by the Director before submission. The approval process involves internal peer review and electronic approval, following an institute-wide policy. To submit a manuscript for internal review and approval, refer to this page: "red card"-system Retro-active approval: If a manuscript has been submitted without prior approval, please submit the review approval request now. This should be an exception. Observe the approval requirement in the future. Choice of Journal: The regular journal used by the group is Astronomy and Astrophysics. Submission to X-Arciv or other preprint servers should be made only after acceptance by the journal. See the Research Coordinator or the Director to discuss any exception from this practice. |
Travel: I would like to travel related to my research or on group/MPIfR business. What practice should I follow? | Plan early. This ensures smooth planning and low cost of flights etc. Be aware of MPIfR policies related to travel. See the Group Sectreatry for any questions you may have. She will also normally make airline bookings. Get prior approval by the director. There is an institute travel form Reise-/Dienstreiseantrag. For overseas and other expensive travel include an explanation of why the trip is important. Do not make airline bookings yourself. Be aware of restrictions on combining personal travel. The Secretary will advise on applicable limitations.
