ABSTRACT: Publishing your first scientific work marks an important event in your scientific career. My talk will focus on a scientific publication seen from the point of view of a publishing house – as a commercial product – and therefore analysed by the four “P”s of product management (product, place, price, promotion). The aim of the contribution is to show the main implications, which should be taken into account whenever you plan to publish you manuscript, and to enable you to have your scientific work published in the most efficient way possible.
