Writing for
publication
Facilitator:
Prof.
Chris Kapp
Registration
fee:
R2200
Background:
The 'publish or perish'
syndrome has hit higher education institutions with a bang. Number
crunching has become the name of the game. Academics who fail to
publish, may forfeit all chances of promotion. Publication outputs of
individuals, departments and faculties are publicly compared. Recent
research has indicated that the authors of published research are
'aging' (above the age of 50 years) and that the vast majority of
publications come from this age group. This workshop will attempt to make a contribution in helping novice authors to prepare their
research findings in such a way that they are accepted for publication. Target group:
'Young' (novice) academics
who want to get their research published in accredited journals. Programme: (A selection of the following modules can be included in the final
programme. The content of the final programme will be determined by the
needs of the participants in the programme.)
- The purposes of
writing for publication
- An analysis of
publication guidelines of selected journals
