Publishing your work: advice from a scientific editor

Have you ever wondered what happens to your paper after you submit it to a journal? This talk will give you an idea of what editors are looking for in your paper, and how to get the most out your conversations with editors at Cell Press journals. We will discuss how journals think about impact and conceptual advances, as well as how we balance the views of reviewers and other factors that lead to a decision to publish a paper. There will be plenty of time to discuss and answer questions, too! This talk welcomes professors, research scientists, and students—anyone who would like to better understand how to work with an editor to publish their studies.
