FSS – How to Publish and Write Journal Articles

Course Description
Module I: How to write a qualitative journal article and get it published
(Taught by prof. dr. Kathy Davis)
This class tackles the issue of how to get a journal article published – an endeavor which is often fraught with uncertainty, difficulties, and even outright suffering. Drawing upon my experiences as editor, author and reviewer, I will address how to write a journal article, find a journal, survive the review cycle and manage the revision process. Participants will do a writing exercise aimed at making the articles they want to write just a little more interesting and, hopefully, a lot more publishable.
To do before the workshop:
Write a few lines about an article you would like to write or are in the process of writing or have completed, but not yet published. This will be the basis for the exercise which will be done in the class.
Optional readings:
