From thesis to journal article Online

This library training is for YSPH students who are interested in turning their thesis (or capstone) into a journal article. Others are also welcome! We'll cover topics including:

  • Your questions about publishing — really, we will save time for questions. You can ask questions in advance here.
  • The differences between a thesis and a journal article manuscript
  • ICMJE guidelines and journals' author instructions
  • Authorship: who should be an author, and what does the corresponding author do
  • Open Access, Public Access Compliance, Article Processing Charges, Article Processing Charge Waivers, and Yale's Transformative Agreements
  • Prior publication (aka "The Ingelfinger Rule") in the context of theses and dissertations, ProQuest, and EliScholar. Bonus: preprints
  • Cover letter to the handling editor
  • Copyright, author agreement, and CC licenses
  • Choosing a journal based on audience, discoverability, prestige, and more
  • Time frame for peer review and publication

Wow, that topic list has a lot of scholarly communication jargon! Well, that's why you should take this class. 🙂

Participants will be able to:

  • Compare the advantages and disadvantages of different journals
  • Make informed decisions about open access, licenses, and copyright
