AIFIS-Luce Academic Writing Workshop: A Virtual Short Course
This academic writing program is made possible with the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation.
The American Institute for Indonesian Studies (AIFIS) offers this workshop on Getting Publishing in International Academic Journals to enhance the capacity of Indonesian scholars to submit manuscripts focusing on Indonesian Studies and publish in English language journals. The workshop focuses on the challenges faced by Indonesian scholars working in the social sciences, arts and humanities, and applied sciences, in publishing internationally, and on strategies and methods to overcome these challenges. Through a series of talks and individual consultations, workshop participants will learn about finalizing a paper for submission, selecting a journal, the publishing process, and current trends in academic publishing. The workshop series is offered virtually over three weeks of asynchronous and synchronous coursework. Materials include video lectures, supplementary reference readings, and guided activities for developing your academic writing for publication, and are designed to allow public participants to learn and discover at their own pace and time.
Course 1: Getting Published in International Academic Journals
The first course explores an overview of the publishing process from an editor's perspective, steps toward selecting a journal, and current trends in academic publishing.
Course 2: Language & the Writing Process
The second course explores the language and writing process involved in international publication, detailed advice on how to communicate an idea and develop a focused argument for a journal article or book manuscript, and editorial tips for finalizing a paper for submission.
Course 3: Argumentation & Navigating the Peer Review Process, Faculty Perspectives
The third course explores faculty perspectives in argumentation and navigating the peer review process. In it we will learn to understand what reviewers are instructed to look for in articles that they are sent for review and develop strategies for responding to referee reports to maximize the probability of acceptance in a journal.
