Publishing CareerBuilder: Scholarly Publishing Journals and Your Career
Friday, March 22, 2024, 4:00 – 5:00 PM ET
Eventbrite: RSVP
As publishers, we develop expertise in publishing the work of others, in acquisitions, editorial management, peer review, and in myriad roles that add value to authors and extend scholarship. In our upcoming Publishing CareerBuilder, we will explore the impact of getting involved with and contributing to publishing journals. We’ll discuss the benefits of writing for and publishing an article in publishing journals, serving as a peer reviewer, serving on an editorial board or as Editor-in-Chief. Join us as we explore the impact these activities can have on one’s career and the impact these journals have on the publishing ecosystem. Our webinars in the popular Publishing CareerBuilder series focus on career opportunities, publishing roles and sectors, and job search strategies. Publishing your research and articles about publishing forces, issues, and best practices contributes to the advancement of the publishing ecosystem and has a positive impact on your career.
EIC’s and managing editors of the Journal of Electronic Publishing, Learned Publishing, Publishing Research Quarterly, and the student-managed GW Journal of Ethics in Publishing will share their experience as well as ways that you can get involved.
