How do you turn a strong research project into a paper that speaks to an international audience and what does it take to publish in Social Science & Medicine (SSM)?
Join us for an interactive workshop with Professor Cindi SturtzSreetharan, Arizona State University, who will share her experience as an editor at SSM and researcher and offer insights into what makes a manuscript work for SSM.
The workshop is aimed at researchers working broadly within the health sciences and social sciences, including those using ethnographic, qualitative, mixed-methods, or other approaches to studying health, illness, medicine and healthcare.

Program
The workshop will focus on the process of moving from research project to publishable article, specifically focused on what it takes to be published in SSM, including questions such as:
What makes a paper interesting and relevant to an international social science and health audience? What makes a manuscript theoretically compelling? How can qualitative and ethnographic research communicate its contribution clearly? What are editors and reviewers looking for? Why do promising manuscripts get rejected? How do you respond to reviewers and revise a manuscript effectively?
There will be opportunities to discuss participants' own research and manuscripts and to ask questions about the publication process.
Who should attend?
The workshop is open to PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, senior researchers, and others interested in publishing with SSM
You do not need to be working specifically with ethnography or qualitative methods. Researchers using a range of methodological and theoretical approaches are welcome.
Participation is free, but registration is required. Sign-up by mail to alexandra.b.jonsson@uit.no
