HCAS Faculty Present at Power Publishing Day

 

NSU Writing & Communication Center Faculty Coordinators, Janine Morris, PH.D. (Department of Communications, Media, and the Arts assistant professor), and Eric Mason, Ph.D. (DCMA associate professor), along with Mario D’Agostino, Ph.D. (DCMA assistant professor), presented at the 6th annual Power Publishing Day held through Zoom, on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021.

The group presented, “From Student to Scholar: Publishing Your Thesis or Dissertation,” which focused on understanding how to write for publication and how an awareness of audience, purpose, and genre can help writers who wish to publish sections of their thesis. “Writing a thesis is hard work,” says Morris, “however, it’s important to be aware of how books and articles are different in purpose and scope from a thesis or dissertation.”

Hosted by the Alvin Sherman Library, Power Publishing featured presentations about academic publishing from publishers, editors, and NSU faculty and librarians. Attendees were able to learn about becoming a multilingual scholar, using the Web of Science to determine where to publish, preparing compelling business or science book proposals, and more.

Power Publishing Day is part of the NSU Library “Gear Up” workshops series, which offers faculty and students professional development opportunities to engage with librarians and gain knowledge in areas of research, publishing, grants, and copyright.
