Editorial Workflows for Academic Journals

This workshop provides an in depth overview of the publishing lifecycle for peer reviewed, academic journals. We will dive into each stage of the lifecycle (planning, submissions, review, editing, production, and publication) to discuss best practices, resources, and staffing to provide a roadmap for sustainable journal management. Along the way, advice for developing an editorial and publication schedules, advertising and soliciting quality submissions, and selecting tools and vendors for production will be discussed with ample time for questions and consultations on operations for current and prospective journals.
