    MENAGEN MENTORING for PUBLICATION PROGRAMME (MPP)

    register to attend online: https://forms.office.com/r/bQdXURrWDg

    The purpose of the MPP is to support publication of gender and entrepreneurship research among scholars in the Arab world. The MPP launches with a publication workshop which critically evaluates how to prepare, argue, structure and edit a journal article submission to maximise the likelihood of review, revision and acceptance.

     

    1. Did you obtain your PhD in the last 10 years?
    2. Are you based at a university located in the Arab world?
    3. Are you researching a topic related to gender and entrepreneurship?

     

    If you answered YES, please join us on Thursday Sept 16th, 4-5.30 pm KSA time for the launch of the MPP and the PUBLICATION WORKSHOP facilitated by Professor Haya Al-Dajani, Professor Susan Marlow and Dr Lorna Treanor.

     

    The workshop explores the process of preparing, structuring and revising academic papers.  The facilitators will draw on their editorial expertise and experience in publishing in top rated journals. A range of issues will be covered including which journal to target, how to structure arguments, demonstrating a contribution, writing analytically, presenting empirical material, key editing aspects, and responding to reviewers.  Participants are encouraged to bring their questions about their publication queries and experiences.  The session will be recorded and made available to all participants. In adopting this approach, we hope to make this an interactive, informal session which directly responds to the participants' priorities.
