Expressions of interest are sought from graduates and recently graduated early career researchers. Submit a short abstract summarising your topic or project (of no more than 150 words), plus specific queries or aspects of publishing that you would like addressed in the masterclass by 21 November 2016.

Associate Professor Jane Stadler from the School of Communication and Arts at the University of Queensland will lead a masterclass that aims to introduce postgraduate researchers to the context for, and processes of, academic publishing. After providing an overview of the context for publishing in the contemporary university environment, it will address the process of turning a conference paper into a publication. The masterclass will provide information about developing a publication strategy targeting journals as well as books, and it will work through issues such as the blind peer review process, how to deal with rejections, the online publishing environment, and writing a book proposal based on your thesis. The seminar is designed for postgraduates aiming to author their first scholarly publication through to those who have already begun to publish their research and to start planning for a future academic job application or post-doctoral fellowship application. Developing a conference paper, a chapter of your thesis, or your entire dissertation into a publication can be daunting. Often the processes we adopt in preparing a presentation are quite different from the formalities of academic publishing and the two practices do not necessarily flow from one into the other. This masterclass will provide an opportunity for postgraduates and recently graduated early career researchers to workshop and unpack the tensions between conference papers, theses, and publications and to work toward developing a cohesive publication strategy.
