ACADEMIC WRITING AND PUBLISHING Q&A
What are the seven deadly sins of academic writing? How to squeeze articles out of a monograph? Who to credit as a co-author? Should you aim for high-impact journals with a greater chance of rejection or settle for lower risk and reward? The Academic Writing and Publishing Workshop of the 9th Annual Doctoral Conference will provide answers. The four hosts will give short presentations and answers questions about academic publishing during the three stages: before, during, and after publishing.
For the registered participants: The workshop will also include an opportunity to share your experiences with ‘Reviewer 2’ and how you felt about the comments. Your anonymous information will be stored on the Flinga page to be shared and discussed in the workshop. We will share the Flinga link with the registered participants.
