About the workshop

If you’re a researcher looking to get your work published in a journal, this interactive workshop is for you. We’ll cover guidance on planning and writing your article, choosing a journal, what happens when you submit your work, how to navigate through the peer review process, the importance of publishing ethics and integrity, and what to expect at each stage along the way. The workshop is part of the Author Engagement Programme which is provided through the Wiley-SANLiC publishing agreement, enabling researchers at SANLiC institutions to publish open access at no charge in Wiley and Hindawi journals.  More information about the Programme is available here.
