Introduction To The Publication Process In Peer-Reviewed Journals

About

The participants of this course learn how to successfully master different stages of publication processes in high-quality journals.

These stages include the formulation of research questions, their theoretical foundation and the application of suitable methods. For each stage, quality criteria are defined, which are crucial for an article’s acceptance. These elements of publication processes will be trained theoretically and on a practical basis. Students will examine how published articles are designed and will discuss the weaknesses and strengths of several publication strategies. Students will also formulate research questions and examine how they can be elaborated theoretically and methodically. Finally, the students learn how to constructively review papers and how to respond to the reviewers’ comments.
