Seminar - From manuscript to masterpiece 6 March 2025 14:30 - 17:00

Share
Scientific publishing has many aspects, such as determining your audience, choosing where to publish, and dealing with reviewers, editors, and publishers. Other important topics include authorship and the impact of a publication.

The VU Library is here to help you prepare and publish a high-quality academic manuscript. That is why we are hosting a seminar specifically for humanities scholars, with particular focus on publishing monographs. Experienced researchers and a publisher will guide you step by step through the publication process and answer questions from the audience.  

The seminar is specially designed for novice authors and PhD students of the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Religion and Theology.  Students and researchers of other faculties are of course also welcome to attend.
