Publishing Discussion: 1:30pm - 3:30pm
Professor Paul Dietze, Executive Editor Drug and Alcohol Review The purpose of this Workshop is to equip early career researchers (ECR) with the skills and know-how to successfully publish peer-reviewed articles in alcohol and other drug (AOD) research and policy relevant journals. The Workshop will be relevant for ECRs engaged in both quantitative and qualitative research.
The Publishing Workshop will follow the journey of a paper from submission to publication, including discussion of: the kinds of papers that journals are currently seeking and how authors should try to orient their papers accordingly; editorial processes; responding to reviewers and revisions; and final product. Case examples will be used by the facilitators to illustrate the issues encountered by Editors and Authors at each of these stages of the publication process.
Advocacy Discussion: 3.40pm – 4.40pm
Dr Fiona Measham, Professor of Criminology in the School of Applied Social Sciences (Durham University UL)
Dr Marianne Jauncey, Medical Director Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC)
The purpose of this Workshop is to have an informal discussion regarding the importance of advocacy within the drug and alcohol field. Our speakers will discuss the successes, detractions, and lessons they’ve learnt in their own advocacy undertakings. Discussions will also focus on how advocacy can sit alongside, and be integrated as part of, a research career.
This section of the workshop will be facilitated by two of our conference keynotes with a track record of advocacy work.
