Getting Your Research Seen: Strategies and Tools for Successful Academic Publishing
Tuesday, July 18, 2023 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM (EDT)
DESCRIPTION
The aphorism “publish or perish'' is one that is well known to researchers, academics and students alike. Though this phrase tends to elicit a chuckle or eye roll, the world of academic publishing is both highly competitive and difficult. This workshop will focus on improving writing skills and submission strategies for academic publishing. A combination of lectures from current Managing Editor Lauren Swan-Potras, a Q&A or recorded discussion with Editor-in-Chief Scott Ratzan, and breakout sessions will provide hands-on experience both for those who are new to the peer review process and those in the process of submitting their research for publication. Attendees will be able to identify strengths and weaknesses of their writing samples, learn how to effectively communicate with journal editors, how to create a successful and engaging abstract and gain valuable insight into this commonly stressful process.
