[Commlist] Workshop on academic publishing for doctoral students

Mon Feb 12 14:01:21 GMT 2024





*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.
