GSC Chair Fireside Chat: Demystifying the Publishing Process: Insights From Journal Editors on Writing, Editing, and Revising Manuscripts for Submission

Session Submission Type: Fireside Chat

Abstract

This session convenes panelists with expertise in the publishing process to offer insights and advice to graduate students and faculty about writing for publication. Sponsored by the Berkeley Review of Education (BRE), an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal run by graduate students at UC Berkeley, this session brings together senior BRE editors and senior faculty who have served as editors of high-impact journals (e.g., RER, RRQ, HD) and on dozens of editorial review boards. We will focus on general strategies for writing and editing your own work, an overview of the publication process at different journals, and an overview of the peer review process (including how to interpret feedback), with ample time for extended discussion with the panelists.
