12-Week Summer Publication Bootcamp
Worried about the summer productivity slump? Planning on publishing one of your conference papers, but finding yourself running around in circles? Need a group to workshop your paper with?
The Graduate School and Office of Postdoctoral Affairs invite all graduate students and postdocs to join a 12-Week Summer Publication Bootcamp!
Drop-ins welcome. No need to RSVP. While the outcomes of the bootcamp will be greatly improved with consistent weekly attendance, perfect attendance is not required.
What is it?
- A 12-week program based on the book "Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks" by Wendy Belcher
- Weekly 1-hour meetings during the lunch hour (bring your brown bag lunch)
- Step-by-step process of converting a conference or course paper into a publishable journal article
- Learn how to advance your argument, select a journal, review the literature, and strengthen the structure
- Work with your peers on brainstorming and editing your work
Why?
- Research has proven that writing in isolation is virtually impossible. This group is meant to provide a space to brainstorm with your peers, as well as edit each other's work.
- We provide accountability and structure during the summer months when the usual advisers and peers are often unavailable.
- The art of the scholarly journal article is one of the most elusive structures and standards in the academic world. While it remains a mystery at first, it is a structure that can be taught.
- Publishing is the main key to success on the academic job market.
Who can join?
- Graduate students and postdocs with a conference or course paper they would like to publish
What should I bring to the first meeting?
- A notebook, pen, and brown bag lunch
