Publish! The Why, How, and Where of Publishing Your Research
Abstract
Writing and disseminating research results are an important part of the research process. Understanding the publication process can help you perform better and more efficient research, and can increase the chances of your work being accepted for publication. This seminar will provide an overview of the publication process typical in engineering.
