Professional Growth
“Publishing Your Scientific Research: A Chat with the Editors” A short presentation followed by Q&A with speakers Dr. Cynthia Burrows, Senior Editor with the Journal of Organic Chemistry, and Dr. George Schatz, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Physical Chemistry.
For a scientist, publishing in a peer reviewed journal is the means to communicate your research and gain acknowledgement for your work. In academia the old refrain, “publish or perish” is often heard. But how do you catch the eye of professional journal editors for your work? What does it take to get published in highly regarded journals? Join our speakers, Dr. Cynthia Burrows, Sr. Editor with Journal of Organic Chemistry, and Dr. George Schatz, Editor in Chief with Journal of Physical Chemistry, as they share strategies to improve your chances of getting published!
What You Will Learn
- Scope of ACS Journal of Organic Chemistry and Journal of Physical Chemistry
- Authoring a paper in JOC, JPC, and other ACS Journals
- Preparing a manuscript that meets the guidelines
- Navigating the peer review process
- And much more…
