AMSA 2025 Hosted by UN ECOP Node Australia and New Zealand, this capacity building initiative features CSIRO Publishing expertise to support early career professionals in the ocean sector.
For many authors, especially early-career researchers, the publishing process feels like a black box. Common questions arise: Where has my manuscript gone? Who is reviewing it? What role does the publisher actually play? These uncertainties become particularly daunting when you're simultaneously navigating thesis preparation and building foundational knowledge for your career.
This workshop lifts the veil on the publishing industry. We'll explore behind-the-scenes processes in scholarly publishing, examine the importance of science communication and peer review, and share insights that aren't always readily accessible. Whether you arrive with specific questions or simply curiosity to learn, this session will provide valuable guidance to help you engage more confidently with the publishing landscape.
What You'll Gain:
- Understanding of manuscript review processes
- Insights into publisher roles and responsibilities
- Practical guidance for science communication
- Knowledge of peer review systems
- Confidence to navigate publishing decisions
