The workshops may be taken as a series or individually and are open to all members of the UMD community. 

Publishing Ethics for Academic Journals
How does your editorial board handle peer review? Suspected plagiarism? Parity for prospective authors for whom English is a second language? Dozens of ethical questions can arise in the course of editing a journal and this workshop will aim to highlight major pitfalls and opportunities to develop policies and plans to ensure that your journal staff have plans to handle tricky questions and ensure that your practice is ethical, transparent, and inclusive.
