| Abstract: Last year, we delivered a workshop at AEA in which participants who had little experience of publishing in a peer-refereed journal were provided a basic introduction to the process of publishing in AJE. Over 100 people attended the session and we were requested to offer it again. We propose to offer the session again in Denver. In the session, we will detail the procedural aspects of submitting a manuscript. Most of our time, however, will be spent on teaching participants, using examples from successful submissions, the key steps to writing a professional article and responding to editors and reviewers' comments. The journals' editorial leadership and members of its Editorial Advisory Board will address specific issues and questions that participants may have about the journal article writing process. |
