'Publishing Your Research' Professor John Field, Deputy Principal, (Research) & Director of SGRS Cottrell 2A87A, 2pm - 4pm 24th March 2005 This session examines the techniques and pathways by which graduate students may achieve publication of their research output. The session will cover each stage of the process, including the identification and targeting of potential publishers, the writing and presentation of proposals in an increasingly competitive academic marketplace, and the conversion of thesis materials into publishable texts. Three categories of academic publishing will be considered: books, journal articles, and essays for edited volumes. John Field has published many examples of each, and regularly reviews book and article proposals for major academic publishers in the UK.

FW: Can you help?

02 Mar '05

Sylvia Barnes Secretary, Planning & Research Office Room 3B1 x 7041 -----Original Message----- From: Sandra Quinn Sent: 02 March 2005 10:20 To: Sylvia Barnes Subject: Can you help? Hi, My name is Sandra Quinn and I am in the 3rd year of my PhD. I am looking for participants for my last 3 experiments and wondered whether you might be able to help me. The experiments take between 1¼ hours and 1½ hours. I'm looking for willing participants and will generously reimburse people for their time. Is there any chance I can use the research list to bring it to their attention. I usually wouldn't go to these lengths, but I need to get these done so that I can start to write up. Would this be ok? The experiments involve listening to auditory sequences and making responses on a keyboard and would be done over 3 different sessions. I look forward to your reply.
