Whether studying for a masters or a doctorate; conducting quantitative or qualitative research, working as a teacher or administrator, or looking for a new job, one thing that almost all of us working in education have in common is the need to publish. Many of us live in a publish-or-perish world, and even if we do not feel the pressure to publish, publishing offers a chance to engage with our colleagues about our work.

This presentation will help writers understand the publishing process from selecting a journal and submitting an article to receiving reviewer's feedback, and handling revisions (and even how to disagree with a review).

This event is co-sponsored by CUE SIG.

If you are looking for advice on how to prepare your manuscript and how the process of editing, reviewing, and revising works for peer-reviewed journals (such as JALT Journal or the OnCUE Journal), this event comes highly recommended.

The presenters are both former editors of the JALT Journal and their advice is invaluable for CUE members looking to publish for the first time.

Please see the Osaka JALT home page for more information about this event.

If you or your organization are interested in CUE SIG becoming a co-sponsor of a future event, please let us know! Contact Program Chair Tim Micklas (tmicklas AT yahoo DOT com) with information.
