Description

The purpose of this PhD day is twofold: 1) to provide doctoral students with practical advice on getting the most out of conferences, before, during and after the event and 2) to provide doctoral students with input on how to go about publishing their work. The first part of the workshop will cover topics such as choosing conferences to attend, finding and responding to calls for papers, writing successful conference abstracts, and drafting bio paragraphs. Students will be asked to come armed with a call for papers and an abstract they have written in response to it so that they can receive feedback from their peers and the invited panel. We will also discuss the use of handouts and other visual aids, avoiding 'Power-Pointlessness', engaging the audience, body language, and techniques to help students increase their confidence. We will then move on to discuss how to get the most out of conferences while in attendance, and the possibility of publishing one's work afterwards. Topics to consider will include: using email and social media in the build up, during, and after a conference; deciding whether to publish a conference paper, and the options for doing so (conference proceedings, journals, blogs, reports). In the second part of the day we will go more into detail on how to publish one's work and address questions like how to find a suitable journal for publication or what to expect when one submits a manuscript (timeframe for publication, peer review, revision process).
