Retreat description

This session is run in Microsoft Teams by Library Volunteers. The aim of the Online Retreat is to provide a protected space, free from distractions, that allows you the time to focus and reflect on any University work you have to do. This retreat will start at 12:30pm as we welcome guest speaker Kirstyn for an extremely valuable presentation:

Library Support for Getting Published 

While you’re working on your dissertation or thesis, you may be dreaming of a wider audience for your academic writing: perhaps distilling your research outcomes into a conference submission, developing them into a journal article, or even pitching a book proposal to the most appropriate publishers in your field.   

Naturally you want the widest possible audience for your work!  But you don’t want to risk being the victim of plagiarism, piracy or losing control of your IP. And when you reach the point of signing a contract with a publisher, you need to be confident there are no hidden clauses which could disadvantage you. 

Join us at 12:30pm on Friday 29 August to hear from Kirstyn Radford, the Library’s Research Outputs Specialist, who will outline some difficulties commonly faced by academic authors and the assistance that Library teams can provide.
