Session Type: Professional Development Course

Abstract

This course will provide graduate students and early career faculty with critical information about how to publish in academic journals. Scholars will present in-depth sessions that cover the entire publishing process—from conceptualizing studies to preparing well-crafted manuscripts targeted to relevant journals. Scholars will address the following topics: institutional and career fit; how to be a productive writer; finding equilibrium in academia; contemporary publishing topics and how to select appropriate journals; quality quantitative research; quality qualitative research; and ethical issues in publishing. Question and answer sessions will follow each presentation to allow for participant engagement. Participants will be provided with materials including handouts and work samples that elaborate on the important points shared during the session.
