Abstract
It is becoming increasingly important for research students to publish their work in international peer-reviewed academic journals. This presentation will discuss strategies for students to help increase their chances of success in this process. It will discuss the peer-review process and criteria that reviewers typically use to assess the submission of journal articles. It will also provide advice on ways of targeting journals, what decisions to expect, and suggestions for responding to reviewers’ comments
