[Commlist] Workshop on academic publishing for doctoral students

*Nordicom invites doctoral students to join a workshop on academic 
publishing. *

**

Publishing in international journals is a given for researchers. 
Nevertheless, it can often be difficult to get an overview of the range 
of journals and to understand the different steps involved in the 
publication process. There are many pieces that need to be in place 
before a manuscript reaches its readers. Among other things, there is a 
review process where you – as a scholar – make sure that another’s 
manuscript meets the highest standards of scientific quality.

To help sort things out, Nordicom is organising a workshop on academic 
journal publishing. The workshop is aimed at doctoral students in 
journalism, media and communication studies, and related subjects in the 
Nordic countries, and the goal is to give participants a thorough 
orientation in the academic publishing process. The main points of the 
workshop are:

  * The publishing landscape: What does it look like, and how do you
    select a journal to submit your work to?
  * Preparing a manuscript for submission: Why is it essential to be
    nitty gritty with references, language, formatting, etc., and what
    can you do to make it less tedious?
  * Writing a good review: What makes a good review and how do you
    succeed in writing one?
  * Receiving reviews of your work: How do you make sense of reviews,
    and how should you respond to them?
The workshop includes presentations from Nordicom's experienced editors 
and exercises where participants get feedback from other participants as 
well as Nordicom’s editors.

Prior to the workshop, all participants will be given exercises to do on 
their own, which will then be followed up on during the workshop that 
takes place 21–22 August in Nordicom's premises in Gothenburg.

The workshop corresponds to 3 ECTS credits. After completing the 
workshop, all participants will receive a certificate if they have done 
the preparatory exercises and participated throughout the workshop.
