Unlock the pathway from research to publication excellence with our 'Turn Your Research to Publication' training programmes, a comprehensive programme tailored for early and mid-career researchers and practitioners. Over five dynamic online sessions spanning 90 to 120 minutes each, members of our esteemed scientific committee will guide participants through a multifaceted journey, imparting practical skills and insider insights critical to navigating the publication landscape.

Dedicated to empowering researchers with a practical understanding of the stringent standards of publication reviews, these training programmes offer exclusive access to leading UK and international academic reviewers, editors, and experts from the academic publishing industry. Participants engage firsthand with these luminaries, gaining invaluable knowledge on author expectations, adaptation of research to publication formats, structural nuances, standards adherence, and the art of circumventing common pitfalls.

Interactive group discussions form an integral part of each session, providing ample opportunities for participants to delve deeper, seek clarifications, and actively engage with the content. Prior to the programme's commencement, participants have the opportunity to steer the discussion by submitting key questions and topic areas, ensuring that training programmes directly address their queries and concerns.

The curriculum comprises a minimum of 4-5 interactive workshops and encourages participants to invest 15 hours in guided reading on pertinent topics related to research publication. A meticulously curated reading list primes participants with essential literature, enabling a more profound engagement during the training programmes.

The training programmes are thoughtfully structured to cover diverse dimensions of research publication. Sessions such as 'Drafting a Research Publication, Types, Principles, and Common Mistakes' and 'Publish in Urban & the Built Environment Studies' feature renowned researchers and academics sharing their expertise in crafting high-quality research papers, understanding editorial processes, and navigating high-impact publication avenues.

An essential training , 'What Are Scientific Reviewers & Publishers Looking For?' invites distinguished academics and professional editors to shed light on the review process for academic journals, books, and conference proceedings, offering key insights and practical know-how essential for publication success.
