Drawing upon insights from an experienced library and information science journal editor, attendees of this webinar will learn strategies for crafting original research article manuscripts articles that more effectively communicate the results of research projects. During this interactive webinar, Alexander Carroll will discuss the “moves” you can make as an author to craft meaningful context and compelling descriptions of your research projects, as well as how to present your findings in a way that will resonate with reviewers and readers. Alexander will also share insider tips and tricks, including how to avoid some of the most common pitfalls and traps that can keep your research from reaching readers. For librarians who assist others in the publishing process rather than publish their own work, these concepts and techniques easily translate and will improve your ability to support researchers at your institution.
