If you would like to increase your chances of being published and enhancing the quality of your writing, you should find this interactive workshop helpful.

It aims to unpack some of the mysteries of publishing in a variety of genres. Specific examples focus on writing about research into learning and teaching in HE, but the workshop is also applicable to writing up discipline-based research or MPhil/PhD theses. Colleagues will be assisted in developing their voices through valuing the variety of writing genres (including empirical research articles, conceptual research articles, literature reviews, opinion pieces, case studies, and reflective essays) and publication outlets (including subscription and open access; disciplinary and transdisciplinary; journals and blogs). In short, we argue that there is no single way of going about writing for publication about learning and teaching in HE or discipline-based research. The workshop should benefit both staff/faculty and students who have limited experience of writing and publishing about their work, and support more experienced colleagues to rethink some of their writing practices.

The workshop draws on materials in Healey, Matthews and Cook-Sather (2019, 2020).
