Writing for Conferences - A Handbook for Graduate Students and Faculty (Paperback)

This book answers every question a doctoral graduate new to publishing could have about writing for a conference, from "Why would I want to publish at a conference?" to "What do I wear?" Conferences are often a researcher's first foray into publishing. Each year, about 50,000 new doctoral graduates arrive to the publishing landscape, most with little or no understanding of how the conference publication process works. Yet until now, there have been no publications devoted to this specific subject. Writing for Conferences: A Handbook for Graduate Students and Faculty serves as an essential guide for graduate students who want to publish the results of the research projects of their graduate program to maximum effect. It explains the conference publication process step-by-step and answers all of the questions asked by students inexperienced in publishing. The book is also a valuable reference manual for previously published authors, providing insightful sections on ethics in publishing, dress and grooming, presentation tips, and networking techniques to develop further research and career opportunities. Presents vignettes from many published authors that highlight their real-life experiences Dedicates an entire chapter to documenting the timeline of publishing Includes over 80 tables that augment the text Contains sidebars that reinforce key points and definitions Provides bibliography references at the end of each chapter Includes a glossary of key terms
