Publication is a natural next step for research, which should be made available to others, to use and benefit from. Publication is also essential for sharing your work, enabling you to be recognised as a specialist in various theories, areas of research, issues or practices, and for you to enter the dialogue that is knowledge creation, sharing, co-production and use. Publication begins the process of dissemination, which leads to action. In this webinar we will look at various options for producing that first) and next) article, for publishing during your PhD, turning parts of your PhD into publications, and finally the PhD by publication. In this interactive webinar, we will consider the whole publication journey -from choosing what of your work would work best for publication first, and next. We will demystify the publication process from journal selection through shaping and finessing your article, submitting and responding to referees’ responses until publication itself.

We will consider:

• Deciding why and what to publish

• Where to publish

• The politics and step by step processes of getting your article ready for publication and submitting it

• Responding to reviews and finalising your article • Marketing your work
