A Virtual Workshop Presented by:

The Social Science Research Council (SSRC)
With Sponsorship by:
The Henry Luce Foundation
Workshop Dates: March 14-18, 2022
The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) in collaboration with the American Institute for Indonesian Studies (AIFIS) offers a 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. Each participant will be paired with a scholar active in Indonesian studies who works on comparable material. These mentors will provide feedback on sources used and research methodology, and suggest target journals. Selected applicants will have the opportunity to present there work at the AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies to take place virtually in June 2022.
The workshop is open to Indonesian scholars and researchers who have completed draft manuscripts on topics relating to Indonesia and are ready to finalize them for submission to a journal. Workshop participants will submit (i) an abstract of the manuscript not exceeding 200 words, (ii) a manuscript of length not exceeding 10,000 words, excluding tables, references, and figures, and (iii) a recent CV or resume.
