Publishing expert to hold 100th Guide to Getting Published workshop
Bingley: Simon Linacre, Emerald Publishing’s Head of Business, Management & Economics Journals, will be giving his 100th Guide to Getting Published (GGP) in the Main Library at the University of Manchester, 11am, Wednesday 16 May.
Emerald Publishing’s Guide to Getting Published (GGP) is based on our experience of working with the editors of more than 300 journals, and provides insight to help new or potential authors give their papers the best possible chance of acceptance and publication.
Given by publishing expert Simon Linacre, the event is part of our commitment to actively supporting academic authors – existing and future – and is aimed at helping authors progress successfully through the various stages, from pre-submission of the manuscript to revision and, finally, publication.
The GGP is important because it:
• encourages early career researchers to publish, and assist university research co-ordinators in this respect;
• allows us to discuss emerging issues in publishing and research with more experienced groups;
• supports efforts to bridge the gap between the practical and academic worlds, and shows prospective authors from commercial and public sector organizations how to get published, often introducing them to the whole publishing process for the first time.
Ultimately, the aim is to inspire attendees to believe that they could now write a paper based on their research and practice.
The GGP is based on the theme “A guide to writing and publishing research”. This includes:
• background information on Emerald;
• what being published means to an author;
• the people (editors, their advisors and reviewers, publishers and authors themselves) involved throughout the process;
• advice for authors on preparing and submitting articles;
• the review process in detail;
• understanding journal rankings;
• how to promote research.
