What Scientific Publishing Leaders Wish Authors Knew

This event has passed.

You know you have to publish your research, but do you know where to start? Has a previous publishing experience still left you with questions about the process? Join us to learn about the behind-the-scenes of scientific publishing in this panel discussion with journal editors and conference program chairs, co-hosted by the Graduate Writing Lab & the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine. We’ll cover topics like how to choose a target journal or conference, how to pitch your article, and how editors make manuscript decisions. Our panelists will be:

  • Kathryn Miller-Jensen, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and editor for PLoS Computational Biology
  • John Carlson, Eugene Higgins Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and editor at PNAS
  • Marynel Vazquez, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and former Program Chair for conferences such as "Human-Robot Interaction"
  • Caroline Hendry, Scientific Director of the Genetics department and former Reviews Editor for Development
