On 15th August 2017 a workshop aimed at assisting Indonesian early career researchers in getting their work published took place at the University of Warwick. The workshop was funded by the British Council’s Newton Fund as part of the current Newton Institutional Links Project between the Department of Politics and International Studies at Warwick and the Centre for Election and Political Party (CEPP) at Universitas Indonesia. It brought together established researchers from the UK and Indonesia, alongside early career scholars from Indonesia who are currently studying for PhDs in the social sciences in the UK. The day-long event was structured into three parts. Part one involved presentations from UK-based academics currently serving as journal and book series editors in a session that focused on “demystifying the publication process”. The speakers in this session were Prof Shaun Breslin (editor of The Pacific Review), Dr Juanita Elias (editor of Rowman and Littlefield International’s Global Political Economies of Gender and Sexuality series) and Dr André Broome (editor of the Routledge series Studies in Globalisation, the Palgrave Global Reordering book series and the CSGR working paper series). The session highlighted some of the “dos” and “don’ts” of academic publishing. Topics covered included: how to pick journals to send work to and hints and tips on how best to present research in ways that will appeal to journals. Dres Broome and Elias also provided extensive commentary on how best to develop book proposals and manuscripts…
