Academic Publishing Workshop

Sarah will provide guidance on how to get your work published in an academic context. We will discuss many of the process questions – how to identify a high-quality journal and interpret the scope, how to adjust a paper to target a journal, how to handle rejections and revisions, and how to manage co-authorship questions.
