Wednesday February 5th, DFO will be hosting Bianca Lopez, Associate Editor (Ecology), at Science Journal, AAAS. She will be discussing “Publishing at Science” in SMAST East 101-103 from 3:00-4:00. This seminar can also be attended via Zoom!

 

Abstract:

Publishing research is a key part of the scientific process and is essential for many science careers. Though everyone does it, the inner workings of journals and how decisions get made can be opaque. In this talk, I’ll provide an overview of how the process works at Science and its family of journals, as well as qualities we look for in submissions. I’ll also talk a bit about what a professional editor does and how the peer review process differs between Science and other journals.
