The focus of this event is the scholarly journal. Experts will be assembled who can discuss the impact of digital technology on the publication, distribution, audience, and economic foundations of scholarly journals in sciences, social sciences, and humanities. From their contributions we hope to discern insights about issues common to all or most disciplines, and the problems unique to specific areas of study. Definitions often focus on both personal writing quirks and a thorough knowledge of writing conventions. This workshop will help you enhance your writing style, preserving features that are idiosyncratic, in the best sense of the word, while adding to your repertoire certain conventions and techniques that enable you to communicate your ideas more clearly to readers.
