Join Smart Materials as we hear from Alexis Peña and Mel Delpech about transitioning from academia to entrepreneurship.
The Posthumanities: Arts and Sciences group invites you to our first meeting of the fall 2024 semester on September 16, 5 – 7pm, in 414 Bowne Hall. Posthumanities is a focus group of the BioInspired Institute co-chaired by Dr. Boryana Rossa (Professor, Film and Media Arts) and Dr. G Douglas Barrett (Assistant Professor, TV, Radio and Film). The group is open to the broader SU community.
Publishing papers is critical to your graduate development, but the process can be opaque and even confusing. Indeed, as an author, you are faced with a bewildering array of publishing options, each with their own nuances. Join Emily Hart, Science Librarian, Research Impact Lead, for a hands-on workshop exploring the academic journal publishing process, including topics like:
Identifying high quality journals
Types of peer review
Publishing models and open access
Author’s rights
Preprints and repositories
These topics will serve as an introduction to a follow-up workshop on open-access publishing later in the semester.
This workshop counts towards completion of the Research Skills & Scholarly Publishing badge in the BioInspired Institute’s Graduate Student and Postdoc Professional Development Program.
Join us for a lively discussion where faculty panelists will share their thoughts and experiences working with some of the fastest growing publishers, including MDPI and Frontiers. In an era of new publishing venues, business models and shifting perspectives on issues of journals’ quality and trustworthiness, how do you choose an appropriate venue for your work? Should you publish in an MDPI or Frontiers’ journal? What should you consider when evaluating a journal? Panelists will answer questions like these, while discussing the merits of different publishers/venues.
The panel discussion will take place from 4:00-5:00 pm, and there will be time to talk with colleagues over refreshments before and after the presentation.
Panelists: John Chisholm (Chemistry), Heather Coleman (Biology), Aaron Mohammed (Earth and Environmental Sciences; Civil and Environmental Engineering), Mary Beth Browning Monroe (Biomedical and Chemical Engineering), and Margaret Voss (Nutrition and Food Studies)
Moderator & Speaker: Dylan Mohr (SU Libraries)
Registration for this event is required, and the event will be capped at 60 people. Please register by Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
