Article publication in a peer-reviewed journal is a fairly difficult process even for experienced authors. How do you choose the right journal, how do you ensure that your article is accepted for publication, how do you properly format the bibliography? We invite you to participate in a series of workshops, where you will learn about the process of publishing in Western and Russian peer-reviewed journals on social science disciplines.

 Olga Boitsova “I have worked as a secretary of an editorial board at the “Anthropological Forum” for nine years. My job is to process all submitted articles and all reviews of these articles. I have also written reviews several times, both for my journal and for other Russian peer-review journals.”  Tatiana Tatarchevskiy “I worked for four years as a publishing editor at a U.S. journal “The Communication Review” dedicated to research in the fields of media and communication studies. In this role I received new submissions, performed preliminary review (to determine whether they should be sent to peer-reviewers), sought out reviewers and edited the articles before sending them off to the publisher. I also have a number of published articles, so I am familia with the process from the side of an author as well.”  Katerina Tsetsura “I am a professor in the field of strategic communications in University of Oklahoma. For over 10 years I have been collaborating with a number of leading academic journals in the field of communications, including Communication Theory (a leading journal in this field, where I am a member of the editorial board), Journal of Communication Management, Communication, Journal of Applied Communication Research, and major publishers in the US and Europe. I am a frequent peer-reviewer of articles, textbooks and academic books for such publishers as Taylor & Francis and Sage, and of academic works and submissions for participation in international conferences, including AEJMC, NCA, ICA, EUPRERA. I have vast experience working with emerging and already successful scholars, whom I assist with preparation of their works for publication. I also frequently run seminars and workshops on academic writing and research theory and methodology for graduate and post-graduate students.” |
