Scholarly Publishing Workshop Series

Posted on September 24, 2018 by efgorman

During this year’s Open Access Week, the HS/HSL will be hosting a Scholarly Publishing Workshop Series. Please join us for a series of 30-minute workshops introducing topics related to scholarly publishing and research impact.

Choosing the Right Journal for Your Research – Tuesday October 23, 12-12:30pm

Do you struggle with finding a journal that’s the perfect fit for your research? We can help! In this 30-minute workshop we will discuss a few tools and strategies you can use to identify the journal that best matches your work. Feel free to come with a current manuscript or just to learn approaches for the future.

Open Access and Predatory Publishing – Tuesday October 23, 12:30-1pm

Are you confused about different models of Open Access publishing? Are you wondering if Open Access journals are trustworthy? Are you trying to locate a legitimate Open Access journal to submit your manuscript? In this workshop we will talk about what Open Access is, why you should consider publishing in an Open Access journal, how to evaluate a reputable publisher, and how to differentiate predatory journals and publishers.

Author IDs – Wednesday October 24, 12-12:30pm

This 30 minute workshop will cover three different author IDs – ORCID, Google Scholar, and Scopus. We will discuss the differences between them, and why they can help boost your research impact. The workshop will be followed by a 30 minute open session to give you time to try the tools introduced in the Author IDs workshop and allow you to ask individual questions about your author IDs.

Enhancing Your Research Impact – Thursday October 25, 12-12:30pm

This 30-minute workshop will walk you through methods for enhancing the impact of your research. Topics will include establishing your scholarly identity, making strategic publishing decisions, and enhancing the discoverability of your work. The workshop will be followed by a 30-minute open session to test these strategies and ask questions about your individual research impact.

To register, please use the links above, or fill out the form here. Registration is encouraged but not required.
