Invitation for PhD researchers:  Writing a journal paper - a workshop for heritage and landscape researchers

This training opportunity, organised by Journal of European Landscapes and HERILAND, is aimed at PhD researchers in the field of heritage and/ or landscape studies who have performed a part of their research and are looking for ways to publish on their ongoing research. It offers a very first introduction to paper-writing for academic journals and helps you get started on the process.

You are expected to bring in a 200-word abstract of your paper idea and the name of a potential journal in mind. At the end you will have a peer-reviewed version of your abstract and an introduction ready. But most importantly: you know how to work towards getting your first paper published.

Registration deadline Friday 10 September 2021 Please email n.van.manen@vu.nl with an abstract and a motivation for the training.
