1-1 publishing consultations on draft articles

Training Organisation: Lucian Consulting

Delivery: In Person

Programme Description:

These consultations are designed as follow-up to the workshop on Writing Articles for Publication in Peer-Reviewed Journals in the Arts and Humanities. Participants submit a draft article 5-6 weeks in advance, and receive detailed constructive feedback on their writing from an experienced academic publisher and research training consultant. Areas for comment typically include structure and presentation of the argument, use of secondary scholarship, how to highlight the original research contribution to best effect, ways to develop the wider implications, and questions of tone, style, and precision.

Learning Outcomes:

These depend on the individual and their article, and it's the point of 1-1 consultations that they are tailored and bespoke. However, typical outcomes include:
- Advice on how to structure and strengthen the presentation of a scholarly argument
- An increased focus on what's in it for the reader
- Advice on ways to clarify, specify and highlight the original research contribution
- Ideas on how to develop the wider implications of case study research
- Heightened awareness of the effect of different patterns of citation, and an understanding of how to strengthen these in a more confident, critical handling of secondary scholarship
- Detailed feedback on questions of style and tone
