Getting your Geoscience Education Research Published
Afternoon Mini Workshop
Convener
Anne Egger, Central Washington University
Are you interested in publishing your research in geoscience education? Have you been confused or surprised by reviews you've received? In this session, we will discuss strategies for determining where to submit your work and selecting a manuscript type; we will also develop a list of characteristics of strong submissions that will facilitate constructive reviews. If you are in the early stages of publishing educational research and/or want to increase your opportunities for getting published, this workshop is for you, no matter where you are in the timeline of your career.
Goals
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
- Strategize where to submit their manuscript(s)
- Apply expectations for different manuscript types to their own work
