Getting Published in a Journal I: Writing for Publication (Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences)

New

This is the first of two workshops designed to develop your understanding of the technicalities and the process of getting your research published.

In this workshop, we examine the technical aspects of writing up your research in a format appropriate for publication. You will learn about the importance of following journal guidelines and house style, and the value of using a clear structure to frame your paper. You will also receive guidance on how to produce clear writing in a register appropriate for the readership.

It is possible to attend this course as an individual workshop, although we would encourage you to attend the second workshop in the series Getting published II: Impact and Peer-review.

PhD Students in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Please note: The course does not offer bespoke or 1-1 support for manuscript preparation.
