Kay McArdle is a Publisher of Geography, Planning and Development journals at Elsevier in Oxford, UK. She manages a portfolio of 20 academic journals in this disciplinary field. During this session, Kay will talk you through the basics of getting your paper published in a journal. Ideal for early career researchers and graduate students, the workshop guides you through all the essential stages of manuscript preparation, including background information on the publishing industry as a whole. The majority of the session looks at manuscript structure, from your title and keywords, right through to the conclusion and references. There will also be a brief introduction to using correct scholarly language – particularly useful for non-native English speakers. By the end of the session, all the essential criteria will have been covered to make sure your paper can be a success! There will be plenty of time for questions at the end. Kay will also be at the Book Exhibit – feel free to call by.
