| DESCRIPTION | This workshop will deal with the process of preparing articles for publication, in particular negotiating the peer review process, which is the basis for all credible published work. The workshop will be organised along four broad research domains and will be led by University of Malta academics who are actively involved in journal editing in their respective fields. The workshop will be followed up by a second session delivered by a representative from a leading publishing group, organised in collaboration with the University Library, and is intended to provide a publishing-insider’s perspective on the journal article publication process. Outcomes: By the end of this workshop, the doctoral researcher should: - be more aware of how to approach the publication process systematically; - have greater insight into the needs of readers and reviewers; - be aware of skills required to write journal articles; - be aware of the processes involved in dealing with the peer review process; - understand the purpose of each section in a research paper; - understand how online platforms have changed how research papers are discovered and read. |
