Considering submitting your work for publication, but aren’t sure which journals might be a good fit? Selecting a journal for disseminating your research is an important, and sometimes difficult, part of the research process. In this workshop, we will discuss various factors to consider when making choices about publishing, including both conceptual and practical factors. We will also look at some tools and strategies participants can use for identifying and evaluating journals as fits for their work and their research goals.

The UNL Libraries is excited to launch the workshop series “Building Research Confidence in the Humanities.” Covering topics ranging from finding and organizing primary materials, locating and managing scholarly sources, and analyzing resources, to making decisions about presentation and publication, this nine-session series will introduce humanities researchers to a range of tools, resources, and techniques for growing their research practice.

The target audience for this series is graduate students in the humanities who are starting out in advanced research or who want to level up their research skills at any time in their graduate program. Examples, tools, and points of reference will speak to research in the humanities and focus on research at the graduate level and beyond. While we want participants to be aware of this target audience to help set expectations, all UNL students, faculty, and staff are welcome.

Registration is required.
