Workshop outline

The online session provides Early Career Researchers (ECRs) with best practices for an efficient article publication strategy. The keynote lecture, given by Senior Editors at Springer Nature, will clearly explain the entire publication process from article conception through to writing a draft, peer review, and publication. In doing so, the workshop will answer key questions such as “How do I structure my manuscript?” and “How do I find the most suitable journal?” Further, the lecture will touch on key aspects such as Open Access and Publishing Ethics. Participants will have a unique opportunity to ask any remaining questions directly from an Editor. The educational session is ideally suited for researchers who are about to submit their first article to a Science Technology Medicine (STEM) publisher.
