Publish, Not Perish: The Art & Craft of Publishing in Scholarly Journals

Awarded the August 2007 PRIMO Site of the Month,  Publish, Not Perish is an online tutorial written by librarians at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  "In this course you will learn to:

• Describe the role of scholarly publishing in an academic career
• List the essential steps of planning and writing a scholarly paper.
• Develop a personal publication plan
• Compare and contrast the different publishing models currently in use
• Describe the types of articles you can write
• List the pros and cons of collaborative authoring
• Describe the tools and resources a scholarly writer needs to have on hand

There are five modules, Overview of the Scholarly Publishing Process, Laying the Groundwork, Deadlines and Details, the Editorial Process, and Customizing your Publishing plans.  My colleague Claudette, who pointed out the site, notes that the only tough part is to find the navigation button, which is an arrow all the way down in the lower right of the page.  Thanks Claudette!
