Listen "Getting Published 101"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Dr. Charles van Rees, our conservation correspondent, about getting research published.
Science Highlight: None
How is getting published in academia the same, or different from other publications?
There are two major misconceptions:
1) that it’s the same as other kinds of publishing,
2) that is different than other kinds of publishing (in being somehow infallible)
What’s next? How do you find partners to co-author a paper? How do you assemble your Avengers team?
How do you target a journal? How do you know who’s a good fit for your paper? Do you write to fit their style?
How long should it be? Like do you know ahead of time, or is it just ruthlessly edited later?
How do you submit? Can you just submit cold?
Can you do this without a master’s or will you just get rejected immediately?
How do you deal with peer review?
What happens after acceptance?
What’s normal for self-promotion and sharing?
