The course will cover:
targeting a journal
structuring a paper
getting started
generative strategies
dealing with feedback from reviewers.

In preparation, it is suggested that you should identify a journal you wish to target and bring a sample paper from it of the type you wish to write. If you have a laptop, please bring it with you (although you will still benefit from the course without one). In case there are more laptops than sockets, please make sure your battery is fully charged!
