Workshop 'How to get published?'

&Tour of the UTS Library Retrieval System 

When: Thursday, 25 June 2015
Where: University of Technology, Sydney

For this outing, LARK has organised everything you need to be informed, intellectually stimulated and entertained. Sounds like a tourist brochure, but this is a pretty accurate description of our plan for the evening:

• Tour of the UTS Library Retrieval System (LRS) for an informative warm-up when you will see this amazing automated system for book retrieval 
• Workshop 'How to get published?' for some intellectual stimulation and your chance to ask questions about best ways to communicate your research
• Dinner with lovely LARKs for your entertainment and networking. 

You can join us for all or some of these activities.

Workshop How to get published?

You have done some research – now what? There are many opportunities to communicate results of your research, regardless of its size and significance. A major study as well as a small-scale survey or literature review is likely to have an audience. In this workshop, you will consider blog, professional magazine, academic journal and a book as possible publishing outlets, each with its own advantages and requirements. Publication in a scholarly journal will be considered in some detail – the choice of a LIS journal, manuscript submission and peer-review process. You will have opportunities to ask questions, share experiences and network. The workshop is suitable for professionals and students.

The workshop will be presented by doctors Suzana Sukovic and Bhuva Narayan. See below for details about presenters.
