While the skills necessary for these two challenging activities are in many ways complementary, they are also often completely unrelated; that is, being an excellent reviewers does not necessarily prepare you for submitting good manuscripts, and visa versa. Accordingly, we will discusses the following questions: How to decide which journal to submit your manuscript? How to handle revisions? Whether to argue with the editor? And what about reviewing, what does an editors and an author really look for in a review? When should you refuse and when you shouldn't dare to do so? How does one write a good review? And why is it important? Creating and charing knowledge is a collective effort, and in this workshop, we will discusses your participation in this community and how to excel in doing so.</p> <br /><img src="http://communities.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9612" width="1" height="1">kespositohttp://communities.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/members/kesposito.aspxhttp://communities.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/blogs/acasc/archive/2008/10/20/research-discussion-meeting.aspx2008-10-20T14:00:00Z2008-10-20T14:00:00Z<strong>Date</strong>: October 21, 2008 <p><strong>Topic</strong>: Post-doctoral fellows will be discussing the research projects on which they are currently working.</p> <br /><img src="http://communities.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9611" width="1" height="1">kespositohttp://communities.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/members/kesposito.aspxhttp://communities.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/blogs/acasc/archive/2008/10/13/atlas-ti-software-preview.aspx2008-10-13T14:00:00Z2008-10-13T14:00:00Z<strong>Date</strong>: October 14, 2008 <p><strong>Workshop Leaders</strong>: Amy Jordan, Senior Researcher, The Annenberg Public Policy Center; Priya Nalkur-Pai, Post-doctoral Fellow</p> <p><strong>Goal</strong>: To explain the uses of Atlas.ti in qualitative analysis in communication research.
