June 15, 2023

Dr. Diana L. Gustafson

Author and Honorary Research Professor, Memorial University

 

For many of us, preparing a manuscript for publication can be one of the most difficult steps in the research process. Sometimes our best efforts are not successful. The goal of this virtual hands-on workshop is to help you address some of the common challenges to publishing success.

 

We’ll begin with a brief overview of the main reasons that reviewers and editors reject or recommend major revisions. Dr. Gustafson will introduce you to several strategies to address these concerns and you will work in small groups to apply these tools to your manuscript. Be prepared to share excerpts of your manuscript and give and receive respectful feedback.

 

The second part of the workshop will use examples that show how to respond to different types of reviewer/editorial feedback. To ensure you leave this workshop feeling more confident, we will devote time to answering your specific questions and offering practical suggestions for improving your manuscript.
