Description: 

Academic publishing requires certain knowledge and understanding of the process that is not often crystal clear to graduate students and junior scholars. This panel’s discussion addresses the principles, challenges, and creative ways of academic writing and publishing. The session will guide you through the process of converting a draft seminar paper into a submission-ready journal article. The panelists include academics who are involved in academic journals and will reflect on their experiences on the other side of editorship and peer-review processes. This panel provides essential knowledge for graduate students and junior scholars who plan to publish in academic journals.
