Getting Published

Abstract

Arguably, the hallmark of scientific research is to have impact, both theoretical and practical, and to enhance scientific and technological understanding. One of the most commonly accepted means by which to achieve this impact is to promote broad dissemination of research findings through peer-reviewed journal publications. Yet, getting one’s work published can be a daunting endeavor. This alternative format presentation proposes to address this important need by providing attendees with meaningful and practical guidelines for getting published, drawing from the extant literature and the presenter’s professional experience. An interactive format will be utilized to ensure a high level of audience participation and increase the value of the information beyond the presentation. The goal is to have attendees leave with useful knowledge that they can immediately apply to get started on publishing their work.
