| Abstract:
The primary purpose of this session is to provide information for graduate students and recent graduates on the process of restructuring a dissertation or thesis into a published journal article or book chapter. Journal editors and authors will discuss the process of getting published. They will review the often implicit rules for writing an article or chapter including editing down a larger project like a dissertation or thesis into a publishable manuscript, targeting a journal, submitting a manuscript, understanding the review process, deciphering the editor's letter, revising and resubmitting the manuscript, and regrouping after rejection.
