The Library is pleased to announce the upcoming talk given by Elsevier – Publishing in the XXI Century: Publishing & Sharing your Research, Peer Review Innovations & Publishing Ethics
Researchers advance science by doing experiments, performing measurements and calculations, and interpreting the results. The next essential step is to write down the results and conclusions in a scientific paper and to get published in an academic journal, which however, requires a different set of skills.
Elsevier is an academic publisher that annually publishes 430,000 articles in 2,500 journals. Ms. Marlene Silva, Associate Publisher & Ms. Marina Soares E Silva, Publisher from Elsevier will give an interactive session to CityU staff and students on Academic Publishing. The talk will cover:

|---|---|
| Date and Time: | 28 June 2018 (Thursday), 11:00 am - 12:00 pm |
| Venue: | User Education Room, Library |
| Medium of Instruction: | English |
