Content
The focus of Day 1 is on how to publish research articles. The objective is to present and discuss all important aspects of the process of getting one’s work published in international refereed journals. The main topics for publishing are (1) manuscript preparation, form and content; and (2) strategic issues in publishing (such as choice of journal, how to react to reviews). The focus of Day 2 is on how to review a paper that is submitted for publication. The main topics are (1) how to structure and write a review; (2) when to accept or decline an invitation to review; and (3) what happens after you wrote your review. During both days, there will be ample opportunity for participants in the workshop to ask questions and to engage in discussion.

Format
Participants are expected to actively participate in each meeting. Day 1 (publishing) asks each participant to write part of an introduction to be discussed during the course, and Day 2 (reviewing) asks each participant to write and submit a review of a manuscript prior to the meeting.

 

Due to the popularity of this course, it will be organized twice in 2019-2020; once in Semester 1 and once in Semester 2.
