Food For Thought, the lunchtime seminar series, presents
Developing Your Publishing Strategy
Wednesday May 16th, 12pm-1pm, Humanities Research Institute (lunch included)
Do you have questions about how, when and where to publish?
Do you want to find out more about the benefits of digital publishing?
Would you like to explore the role of new and alternative formats, such as academic blogging or self-publishing?
Then Developing Your Publishing Strategy is for you.
The phrase "Publish or perish” is so often cited in academic circles that it has become a cliché; yet, undoubtedly, publishing your work is crucial.
Publishing is the primary means of getting the results of your research into the public domain, and if you want to pursue a career in academia, your publication record will be a critical measure of the effectiveness of your research.
No pressure, then!
Developing Your Publishing Strategy will give you the chance to hear Professor Cathy Shrank (from the University's School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics) talk about how leading academics develop and manage a successful publishing strategy, and how to ensure that your published work raises your academic profile and supports your professional ambitions.
Michael Pidd, the HRI Digital Manager, will also be there to talk about the opportunities presented by digital publishing and the ways in which you can use digital publishing to undertake as well as to disseminate your research.
You will have further opportunity to discuss these issues with Cathy and Michael, as well the other attendees, over an informal lunch and Q&A session.
Lunch will be provided, so please register here to attend. If you have any queries, please do get in touch with me. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Food for Thought is a new lunchtime seminar series for researchers, organised by the Researcher Development Programme, in conjunction with academic colleagues. If you have an idea for a future seminar, please contact me at sarah.j.bell@sheffield.ac.uk
Best wishes,
