Session Description:
Publications have long been the currency for academia. The first publication can be the hardest. And today’s scholarly articles are more than pdfs and can include multi-media supplemental materials including raw or additional data, videos, interactive maps, and other components of your scholarship process. In this one hour web session, UC faculty who are journal editors will discuss how to - dentify the right journal for your work - avoid predatory journals - maximize your research impact through altmetrics and data publishing - increase your understanding of the publishing process through opportunities such as being a guest editor on a special issue or serving as a reviewer. This event is free and open to all seeking to publish their scholarship and maximize its impact.
