Academic Publishing Demystified

This guide has been developed specifically for graduate students who wish to learn more about academic publishing.

The videos and resources provided on this guide are informed by a research project that gathered feedback from graduate students about what academic publishing topics are easy to learn about, and which are difficult to learn about. We also talked to faculty mentors to gather their feedback and expertise.

Please use the links on the left hand side to explore videos and associated resources that respond to common questions and concerns raised in our focus groups.
