Writing and Publishing Your Scholarly Journal Article
Presenter: Dr. Felicia Moore Mensah, Associate Professor of Science Education, Teachers College, Columbia University
This workshop will provide both practical support for writing and strategies for publishing in academic venues. Moore Mensah will share her personal strategies, motivations and insights about academic writing, specifically for journal publication as both an author and serving on the editorial review board of three academic journals within the field of science education and special guest reviewer for journals in the social sciences, including education. Participants are asked to bring a working draft of a submission, which they will put into "journal submission format" and build upon in getting their work submitted for publication. The presenter will also share with participants "bad drafts", "reviewer comments", and a "published work" as examples of the submission to print process.
