Symposium on Research Design, Paper Writing & Publishing in Information Science

Have you published in a high quality conference proceeding in Information Science and Technology before?

Have you found the process of getting published in a reputable journal intimidating?

Would you like to learn from experts in Information Science and Technology about the process of designing an excellent research and the intricacies of getting published in a reputable, or even top journal in the field?

The Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) is providing a platform which will ease this arduous process and facilitate the publication of your research. This symposium provides doctoral candidates and junior researchers an opportunity to learn from experts, to receive comments from them on their research, and to work with them in developing a conference paper for ASIS&T.

The captioned symposium tries to equip research students and junior researchers to develop knowledge and ability in 1) designing and conducting a sound research, 2) writing a paper and submitting it to the ASIS&T 2017 conference (https://www.asist.org/events/annual-meeting/annual-meeting-2017/asist-20...) and 3) upgrading the conference paper into a Journal of the Association for Information Science & Technology (JASIST) journal article.
