To allow PhD/MPhil students to develop their writing and communication skills with regard to publishing their research.

The module will develop a journal submission and could contain the following sessions:
- from thesis chapter to journal paper
- from research to journal paper
- selecting a journal
- structure of a paper
- novelty/arguments/significance
- appropriate literature and academic grounding
- introduction and setting the scene
- discussing results/view/etc.
- writing an abstract
- covering letters
- submission process
- peer review process
- responding to reviewers comments

There could be practical tasks in between the sessions. There will be the opportunity to share work and to obtain feedback on developed work by peers, supervisors and facilitators.
