Frauen*förderprogramm zum Gutachten- und Publikationsprozess of the Gießener Graduiertenzentrum Sozial-
Wirtschafts- und Rechtswissenschaften (GGS)
This practice-oriented two-day online workshop develops the foundations of a successful academic publishing strategy for early career scholars. The participants will 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 covers a wide range of topics, from choosing the most appropriate publication format and applying the most salient selection criteria for target publishers to the management of review processes and self-marketing in an impact-oriented academic environment.
Further practical modules deal with the creation of optimized titles and abstracts for both books and journal articles as well as with the advantages and disadvantages of co-authorship. It also provides an overview of the most important aspects of plagiarism and usage rights, as relevant e.g. for the ‘recycling’ of dissertation chapters towards journal articles or contributions to edited collections. Finally, the importance of Impact Factors, Open Access and other facets of the digital dimension of academic publishing will be addressed.
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 exercises as well as individual tasks for the participants. The last part of the course is reserved for group discussions of the participants’ current publication issues and queries.
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.
Time of workshop: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., both days
