Journals: publishing your research effectively (for PhD students in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences) Prerequisites
Publishing journal articles is a key element of a successful research career. As you are starting on this journey, you may have a lot of questions, for example:
- Where and how should I publish my research?
- How do I maximise the number of readers and citations?
- How should I respond to reviewers?
- PhD students in HASS subjects
- Other PhD students and postdocs also welcome
To make the most out of this session, please complete the pre-work and bring your notes with you. You will examine some examples of peer review and author's responses, which should take 30-40 minutes. Instructions can be found here: https://universityofcambridgecloud.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/CUL/departments/OSC/EZ4W-_vxcjhCo35IxM2Xa28BxIw_-ZVSv03ABQVGfKBKAA?e=S6edEo
