Research Masterclass | Publishing from your thesis and developing your publishing career

Publication is a natural next step for our research, which should be made available to others, to use and benefit from. Publication is also essential for sharing your work, enabling you to be recognised as a specialist in various theories, areas of research, issues or practices, and for you to enter the dialogue that is knowledge creation, sharing, co-production and use. Publication begins the process of dissemination, which leads to action. In this interactive session we will look at various options for producing that first, next and future article, and we will also think of writing for book chapters and books. We will focus on publishing during your PhD, the PhD by publication and turning parts of your PhD into publications as you complete your PhD and afterwards. We will consider the whole publication journey, from choosing what parts of your work would work best for publication first, and next, and together we will demystify the publication process from journal selection, shaping and finessing your article, submitting, responding to referees’ responses and finally publication itself.

We will consider:

• Deciding why and what to publish.

• Where to publish.

• The politics and step-by-step processes of getting your article ready for publication and submitting it.

• Responding to reviews and finalising your article.

• Marketing your work.

• Planning a journey of future publications.

A recording of the session will be sent to those who have registered.

We look forward to seeing you there.
