The Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) has launched a new blended learning online workshop to help those new to international scholarly publishing. The course has been developed out of the existing Introduction to Journals Publishing course following feedback from ALPSP members.
Based on these results, and drawing on existing experience supporting members' training needs, ALPSP is launching a new online workshop - An International Primer: Introduction to Journals Publishing 1. This blended learning course will provide those new to publishing, regardless of location, with an interactive and essential introduction to the basics of journals publishing.
An Introduction to Journals Publishing 1: An International Primer is a new online training workshop providing delegates, regardless of location, with an interactive and essential introduction to the basics of journals publishing, for those at the beginning of their careers.
Delegates will complete a pre-course questionnaire and reading. This is followed by a live one and a half hour interactive webinar hosted by a tutor and including exercises, polls and the opportunity to ask questions. There is a comprehensive quiz that follows the webinar and 48 hours course follow up with the tutor via email.
The workshop will prepare delegates with an overview and understanding of this fast moving area and help them understand how all the different functions fit together. They will come away with an understanding of: the role of the editor and editorial office; know what happens to a paper after acceptance; understand how journal finances work; and appreciate what goes into a journal marketing plan.
The workshop will take place on November 17, 2016. Further information and booking is available online at http://www.alpsp.org/Training/Introduction-to-Journals-Publishing-1-An-international-primer/38397.
