From publishing an article in a peer-reviewed journal, sharing research data through an open-access repository, or building a website for engaging broader communities in research, scholarly publishing today has many forms and purposes. What works best for your research and goals?

This course introduces key aspects of modern academic publishing and its implications for how you plan and publish your own scholarly work. Topics we’ll cover include practical tips for authors, such as tracking impact and ensuring discoverability, to broader considerations of the scholarly communication landscape, such as how dissemination and use of research intersects with publishing business models and copyright law. As a central activity and outcome of this course, you’ll apply what you’ve learned to developing an actionable, concrete plan for a publishing project you’re already working on or would like to start.
