Subject: Tomorrow's Seminar: Demystifying Academic Publishing

Chair: Professor Kevin Tai
Abstract:
How do you prepare an article for publication in a scholarly journal? How do
you pick a journal for submission? How do you improve your chances at
successful publication? How do you deal with reviewer comments? Though
academic publishing is crucial to scholarly life, it can see inaccessible
and with unnecessarily opaque procedures and decision-making processes. In
this talk, I draw on experiences as editor, reviewer, author and reader and
de-mystify the process of submitting articles to academic journals and
working through the process from submission to publication. I provide some
insights on what editors and reviewers are looking for, while also noting
the concerns of author and readers.
