Upcoming Webinar: How to connect the study’s methodology with publication options

On January 31, we are hosting the next How to Do Research and Get Published webinar, titled “How to connect the study’s methodology with publication options”.

How do design decisions influence what you publish, and where you publish findings and insights from the study? Readers want to know the answers to why and how questions, in addition to what questions. Why did you choose to conduct the study as you did, how did the approach fit the purpose of the study, and what did you learn? Join us for an informative webinar that will include tips for articulating key points about your study’s methodological foundations and frameworks in scholarly articles, chapters, or books. You will also learn ways to look for publications with a methodological focus in this webinar.

Hosted by Sage's Janet Salmons, Lauren Bauman, and Sean Scarisbrick and featuring a Q&A session with prestigious guest speakers, the webinar will provide essential guidance for anyone working on research or hoping to get published.
