Getting Published & Mastering Peer Review
by Dr. Brian Cusack

Location | 2 days in 6 online classes totalling 8 hours (Zoom sessions of 1-1.5 hours) In-class group (Attendance (in-person) is optional but highly recommended): 28 September; 4:30 PM Seminarraum Mineralogie (310/ EG/0.05), Institute for Geology and Mineralogy, Zülpicher Straße 49 b (black building) |
Details | Learning to write and respond to reviewers' comments are vital skills for early-career researchers to master if they wish to become established scientists. However, these skills are often neglected, forcing researchers to learn them by trial and error. By learning to address reviewers' comments, researchers not only increase their chances of getting their work published but also learn to think critically about their own research. This workshop is especially recommended for GSGS members in the second half of their project but others are welcome to apply. "One of the best two workshops I ever attended" (quote from a GSGS member). This workshop guides you through the peer review process using a practical approach that explores the roles of the author, the reviewer and the editor. Following the workshop, as an author you will be able to engage the interest of the journal editor with a cover letter. You will also be skilled in responding comprehensively and courteously to reviewers' comments. As a future reviewer, you will know how to critically evaluate a research article and to phrase criticism in a constructive review that benefits the scientific process. Please note that the live sessions largely build on topics introduced in video material. Therefore, you will benefit more from the training by watching these videos in the weeks before the live workshop sessions. For further info click here. |
