Channel: EURAXESS Japan
Date: 2020-11-10

Publishing is an integral element of the researcher process with most academics required to publish at least once in their professional career. Researchers must also navigate a publishing landscape that is constantly evolving. This workshop is designed for early career researchers who have little to no publishing experience. It will provide a basic overview of the current state of academic publishing to enable a better understanding of the process and as well as offer guidance to help them succeed.

The workshop will cover the following topics with examples and the opportunity to ask questions:
    - Publishing cycle: basic overview of the publishing landscape and process
    - Assessing journals: what to look for when choosing where to publish
    - Open access benefits and challenges
    - Preparing your manuscript for publication
    - Research and publishing ethics: overview of publishing ethics
    - Peer review basics: overview with recommendations on how to respond to reviewer comments
    - Typical reasons for rejection and how to avoid them
    - Promoting your research: tips on how to share your work more broadly
