GSA Fall Meeting workshop: What's Your Problem, What's Your Point?
***********************************************************************************************
New Workshop Debuts at the Annual Meeting in Denver
What’s Your Problem, What’s Your Point?
An Early Career Workshop on Writing Scholarly Papers
When: 7:00–8:30 am, Monday, Oct. 28, 2013
Cost: Free, but application is required (see below)
Light breakfast included
Learn how to best prepare scholarly papers for submission to scholarly journals in a workshop aimed at recent PhDs and graduate students, as well as early-career geoscientists, post-docs, and tenure-track faculty.
Led by GSA journal science editors, this workshop’s three presentations will be followed by roundtable discussions and a question and answer period.
Before You Begin
Learn how to define your purpose, communicate the major points of your paper, and frame your arguments. Find out what editors look for, such as whether your introduction serves its purpose and whether the paper fits the scope for the journal it was submitted to.
Writing and Revising
Find out what makes a well-prepared manuscript, from an attention-getting cover letter to clear prose and appropriate, well-thought-out figures and tables that communicate your ideas. Learn how to avoid frustrating reviews. Then learn how to submit your paper online and what to expect from the publication process.
Reviewing and Being a Part of the Scholarly Community
What is a good review? Peer review is integral to publishing, so both reviewing and being reviewed are essential parts of your role as a scientist. What can you give and what can you get out of it?
