This bootcamp will be a crash course presented by three UCSF journal editors on the process of submitting manuscripts to a scholarly journal, what happens during peer review, and what journal editors look for in a manuscript. A panel of UCSF faculty who are experienced journal editors will talk about their editorial experience and answer questions such as:

• What are some key factors that help make a manuscript publishable?
• What are some of the things an author should avoid doing?
• What is the best way to respond to reviewers' input (and criticism)?
• How to write a good review?
• What are some of the trends in peer review and publishing?

Join the UCSF Library and special guests Dr. Rita Redberg, Christoph Schreiner, and Dr. Paul Volberding, and moderator Dr. Samantha Hindle, by registering below.

Coffee and cookies will be served.

1. Publishing (September 7)
2. Peer Review (September 20)
