Programme

11:00-13:00 Interactive lecture on writing for academic journals

The interactive lecture aims at addressing main issues related to publishing a research article in a peer-reviewed journal.
Main topics that will be addressed include:

• Finding a topic and developing an argument for your peer-reviewed article;
• Drafting your article (what constitutes good writing in journals? How to find time for writing? Developing a program for writing, etc.);
• Targeting journals (which journal, why that journal, how to analyse a journal, how to contact the editor, etc.);
• Responding to reviewers’ feedback (how to deal with reviewers’ feedback and rejection?).

The interactive lecture will be followed by a roundtable discussion with journal editors.
