Location:
RC11 Sociology of Aging (host committee)
Language: English, French and Spanish
Session Type: Oral
Crack the code necessary to manage publishing in internationally established peer-reviewed journals tends to be perceived as a challenge in the beginning of one’s academic career. This is especially so when one is struggling to grasp the difference between writing a research report, writing a book chapter, and writing a manuscript for submission to such journals. This workshop will address these differences, and will also give concrete tips on how these differences affect the ways in which one constructs the various sections utilized in a publication (from the interest-raising introduction to the knowledge-gap-divulging-literature review to name but a few). The workshop will be led by the President of our research committee, who has vast experience of editorial board work for such journals, who was Associated Editor for one of the first open-access journals in the field of aging, and who is also scheduled to take on the Editor-in-Chief role for Ageing & Society in January 2021. Thus, although this workshop will not focus on any specific journal, this is a workshop you will not want to miss if you have yet to figure out how to write for publication in anonymous peer-reviewed outlets.
