Publish or perish: Designing research for publication

Content   How do you bring your scholarly research to the published conclusion it deserves? How does the acceptance process function in publishing?
That is what we will discuss in these two workshops which look at the why’s and how’s of writing and publishing research. We will examine and discuss the writing process, from abstract to finished article or thesis, paying particular attention to the writing and presenting of participants’ own research as well as critically reviewing that of others. We will also explore the various possibilities for publishing your research in the form of a PhD thesis, individual articles targeted at specific journals, or an academic book, identifying crucial elements such as choosing a research design, writing your PhD thesis or articles or your book proposals and the various steps to publication as well as the refereeing process.
