The Geological Society Publishing House is offering an in-depth tutorial on publishing a paper with The Geological Society. This one-hour webinar will guide participants through every stage of the publishing pipeline, from manuscript submission to final publication.

Participants will learn:

  • Where, when, why, and how to submit a paper to one of our journals.
  • All the checks that we do behind the scenes, both technical and scientific, with expert guidance presented by the Editor-in-Chief of the 'Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology', Cherith Moses.
  • How to revise manuscripts, including obtaining permissions and responding to reviewer feedback.
  • What happens to a paper after is accepted, including licensing, Open Access publishing options, and indexing.
  • What awards are available for early-career researchers and how to win one.

Participants will be able to ask questions in the chat and have their questions answered live. They will also be provided with pre-written notes, so they can enjoy the webinar more freely.

The webinar will take place on Zoom. Having Zoom installed on your computer or phone ahead of time will allow you to access all Zoom features, some of which are not available with Zoom in-browser.
