This workshop for researchers seeking to publish in peer-reviewed journals focuses on the key criteria involved in journal editors’ selection processes and peer-review, and how to meet them. Based on the inside knowledge of an experienced academic publisher, it is designed to develop essential skills in writing articles in order to increase researchers’ chances of placing their work in premium scholarly journals, to the benefit of their academic profile and career prospects.
At the heart of the workshop is the essential difference between writing for examination in a PhD and writing for wider international dissemination in a publication. This involves thinking through questions relating to audience and what’s in it for the reader, presenting a scholarly argument, and how to use secondary scholarship to highlight the original contribution to the field.
Participants are encouraged to bring to the workshop an idea for an article (which may be a well developed draft, a thesis chapter, or even still a gleam in the eye) and to work on developing this in relation to journal editors’ criteria, in a series of interactive exercises, both verbal and written.
