Publishing your work is considered one of the primary pillars of a research project. Graduate students are often haunted by the policies and processes that go into publishing papers as part of their graduate experience. Some graduate programs require students to be first authors to even be considered for graduation from their Ph.D. program.
On Monday, October 13th, 12-1pm, come attend a discussion where the following questions will be answered
How do you even start the process of writing a publication?
What are impact factors?
How do you decide if your data is impactful enough to be submitted to a particular publication or journal?
We have invited a panel of productive and avid STEM publishing faculty from UMBC to talk about these and other topics, the intention of this event is to demystify the publishing hardship, learn how to overcome perfectionism (when is my paper ready to be submitted for publication?), learn how to process criticism, how to manage your time to be more productive (when am I supposed to find the time to sit down and write?), how to overcome writers block, and more.
Faculty Panel:
Dr. Lara Martin, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
Dr. Farah Nibbs, Assistant Professor, Emergency and Disaster Health Systems
Dr. Pengwang Zhai, Chair of Admissions, Atmospheric Physics Graduate Program
