Author workshop

Presented by John Colligon (editor of Vacuum) and Jan Willem Wijnen (Executive Publisher Elsevier)

Researchers advance science by doing experiments, measurements and calculations and interpreting the results. But the next essential step is to write down the results and conclusions in a scientific paper and publish those in a scientific journal.

John Colligon (editor of Vacuum) and Jan Willem Wijnen (Executive Publisher Elsevier) will present a workshop on how to get published. The workshop will explain the fundamental components and guidelines that authors should adhere to in preparing manuscripts and submitting them to scientific journals for publication. The workshop will cover each step of the submission, review and revision processes and attendees will hear the Do's and Don’ts of getting published. Also the complete publishing process will be described and the way scientific journals are organized.

The workshop is aimed at new authors, but also at more experienced authors who want to hear how to bypass common publishing hurdles or discuss specific problems with the editor and publisher.
