Join João Soares, Editor-in-Chief, the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, for a 360˚ look into the publishing world of scholarly and technical papers. You will learn how to integrate manuscript preparation into your daily routine, how to efficiently prepare a clear and well-organized manuscript, how the review process works, how to expedite your manuscript’s review (and acceptance), and about future trends and developments in scientific publishing.This workshop is intended for early-career chemical engineers: graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, new faculty members and new industrial researchers. However, anyone who publishes or reviews papers in scientific journals is welcome.
