The way we do research is changing. Funders are showing a growing interest in collaborative, interdisciplinary research which is leading to increasing numbers of cross-disciplinary projects receiving funding. Many Early Career Researchers (ECRs) will be involved in these projects and, in the 'publish or perish' climate of academia, getting this non-traditional content published is a new challenge for them to overcome.
This panel-discussion event will be an ideal opportunity
for UCL ECRs with interests in social science to hear from three editors on how
to get collaborative social science published. Attendees will be offered advice
and insight into what journals look for in submissions that are the product of
such cross-disciplinary research. In particular the panel will discuss, what an
'ideal' manuscript looks like, packing a punch in your manuscript and gripping
the reader's attention, and common errors when publishing cross-disciplinary
research.
- We want attendees to interact with our panel before and
during the event. The online registration form allows you to submit a question or raise a specific issue that you would like panel members to address
