- Workshop
This workshop will help you develop the skills necessary to get pieces of your writing finished and published. It will bring you closer to a successful publication in English by taking you through the stages that the authors go through as they prepare their manuscripts, send them to the editor, respond to feedback from the journal, and, if necessary, resubmit their articles.
Participation in the seminar will help answer the following questions:
- Why publishing? Why not publishing?
- Why do editors reject articles?
- Why do reviewers reject papers?
- What does a rejected paper tell us?
- How do I meet the editorial objectives of the journal?
- What are the criteria for a good article?
- How do I present my manuscript?
- What is the review process?
- What is the production process?
- How do I respond to feedback from the journal?
As our seminar participant, you will become more confident with
- defining your writing goals;
- finding and targeting the right journal;
- drafting a synopsis or an abstract of a paper;
- writing a focus statement section of a paper;
- editing a paper for consistency and economy of style;
