| DESCRIPTION | This workshop will introduce doctoral students to issues concerning publication of their research in edited academic journals and books. It will focus on different requirements of an edited journal issue and an edited book. There is a hierarchy of value attached to these publications. How to edit volumes and what to look for from contributors are issues which will be explored. What purpose does the edited volume serve? How does one choose the invited contributors? Suggestions regarding how to improve one鈥檚 chances in getting published internationally will be made and explored.
