CBE Seminar (Zoom): Careers for Researchers in the Publishing Industry and Getting Your Paper Published

Non-UCI people, please use this registration link: https://forms.gle/CcjTzxXqtHp3Ww2w6

Abstract: In my presentation, I will cover two broad topics: (1) Career opportunities for researchers in the publishing industry. My talk will focus on the different roles inside the editorial offices of academic journals and the skills and interests that are prerequisites for successful editorial careers in scholarly publishing; and (2) Scientific Publishing. Publishing your research is an integral part of the scientific process, yet researchers often don't know how journals operate and how to maximize success during the publication process. To shine light on this black box of scientific publishing, I'll discuss what happens after a paper is submitted, the role of the editor and how the peer-review process works. I'll also provide some general writing and submission tips to help you to publish your research.
