Demystifying the Publishing Process in Conservation

The programs features three speakers who will share insights from their own publishing experiences: Curator/Conservator Sanchita Balachandran has published in a variety of venues; Research Scientist Michele Derrick served as the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Institute for Conservation (JAIC); and Conservator Carolyn Riccardelli is AIC’s Director of Communications. The presenters will discuss a range of topics including publishing platforms, the process of writing a peer-reviewed article, collaborative writing, and funding. ECPN hopes that at the conclusion of the webinar, the prospect of publishing will seem less intimidating to conservators at all levels.

Nice program! Here's a related tip: keep all your signed author agreements in a single, clearly identified folder that you keep with your most important files. As an author, I've had to go back to these documents years later and they are very hard to find if they are each buried in the files related to the writing of the article/book. You never know, your heirs may need access to these agreements!
