Thursday, October 23rd | 12:00 noon – 2:00 p.m.
UWM Libraries Fourth Floor Conference Center

The UWM Libraries invite you to a workshop in which you will learn about the best practices for scholarly article publishing in Springer Nature journals. This year, the UWM Libraries and Springer Nature signed a new “read and publish” agreement which allows authors to publish their articles through the open access program without paying processing charges while retaining their copyrights.  

In this workshop, the Springer Nature publisher representatives will discuss how to choose the right journal for your manuscript submission, what happens during the editorial and peer review processes, how to respond to reviewer comments effectively, and how to publish open access articles via the new agreement. In addition, UWM faculty authors Rina Ghose and Alison Donnelly will talk about their first-hand experiences with scholarly article publishing and how they make decisions about what, where, and how to publish.
