Best Practices in Publishing Program for Graduate Students

***Registration full! Stay tuned for a similar opportunity in spring.***

The Best Practices in Publishing program provides opportunities to discuss research and publishing-related issues with graduate students from across the university. Over seven sessions in the fall, a range of topics will be introduced and discussed with campus experts, including experienced faculty.

The BPIP program will be limited to 30 students. Sessions will be Tuesdays, 5:00-6:30 p.m. The workshop schedule (subject to change of topics each week) is:

  • Sept. 5 — Publishing: The Long Journey (A Panel Discussion)
  • Sept. 12 — Authorship Decisions and Concerns
  • Sept. 19 — Plagiarism, Research Misconduct, and Other Ethical Considerations
  • Sept 26 — Citation Management
  • Oct. 3 — Copyright and Ownership
  • Oct. 10 — How (and Where) to Publish
  • Oct. 17 — Wrap-Up, Reception and Certificate Presentations

Participants will be required to attend and submit reflections and critiques of each session. In addition, participants will be required to participate in discussions and question-and-answer sessions. You must attend all sessions to receive the certificate. An anonymous submission form will allow participants to submit questions of a sensitive nature ahead of time so speakers will be able to discuss real concerns.

Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a certificate acknowledging your participation in the program; this certificate should be a welcome addition to the dossier that you will need in applying for faculty positions and/or for retention/promotion.

Registration opens Tuesday, August 15, at 9 a.m. The link to register is here: https://goo.gl/forms/gpSvSyZdMO1CMofl2. (The link will not be live until 8/15.)
