Facilitators: Dr Karen Smith, University of Hertfordshire and Katrina Hulme-Cross, Routledge, Taylor and Francis

The programme is aimed at Newer Researchers, researching in the field of Higher Education, but will also be beneficial to a broader audience. 

 This will be an interactive session which will cover

• The mechanics of getting published in journals – covering preparation and research through to peer-review and post-publication.

• How to choose the right journal in which to publish considering that there are now such a multitude.

• Working with other people; gaining and using their feedback (collaborators, critical friends, reviewers).

• Identifying the differences between writing for journals and other forms of writing with which you may be more familiar.
