In this online course, the participants will receive a brief but comprehensive introduction into the academic publishing market with a special focus on the search for suitable academic journals for article submission.
The participants will first learn how to assess their research in the context of the scientific publishing market and develop a publication strategy in line with their individual career goals. The workshop then covers a small number of smaller relevant issues, from choosing the most appropriate publication format and applying the most salient selection criteria for target publishers and journals to the importance of impact factors and Open Access solutions.
The course is aimed at doctoral students and early post-docs who have had limited experience with academic publishing and would like general orientation as much as concrete practical help in productively shaping their profile as early career academic authors. The course focuses on the humanities and social sciences and is held in English. Power Point slides of the presentation will be made available after the workshop.
During the workshop, active participation and the exchange of publishing experiences is explicitly welcomed. In addition to presentation segments by the coach, there will be group discussions as well as some tasks for the participants.
This workshop is part of the project INTERREG Projekt Grenzinformationspunkte (GIP).
