Kay McArdle is a Publisher of Geography, Planning and Development journals at the publishing house Elsevier, here in Oxford. She manages a portfolio of 20 academic journals in this disciplinary field, including Geoforum, which is present at this conference. During this session, Kay will talk you through the basics of getting your paper published in a journal. Ideal for graduate students, the workshop guides you through all the essential stages of manuscript preparation, including background information on the publishing industry as a whole. The majority of the session looks at manuscript structure, from your title and keywords, right through to the conclusion and references. There will also be a brief introduction to using correct scholarly language – particularly useful for non-native English speakers. By the end of the session, all the essential criteria will have been covered to make sure your paper can be a success! There will be plenty of time for questions at the end.
