Odum Institute Short Course - Academic Publishing 101: From Idea to Article...and Beyond

Although graduate school teaches you many things, many PhD students complete their dissertations having never been fully trained in academic publishing. How does academic publishing actually work? Where should you publish your research? How do you actually get papers accepted in strong academic journals?

This talk will cover several major ideas in academic publishing (focusing on the social sciences). Topics include:

• professional integrity and ethics
• the role of academic conversations and communities as a guide for publication forums and journal selections
• the mechanics of publishing in journals and other forums (including outlining, writing style, journal, legal, and newspaper submissions, the peer review process, revisions, and corresponding with editors)
• acceptance and all that follows

COVID-19 Research Open House Week: N3C Immunosuppressed/Compromised Domain Team

The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) is hosting an Open House to engage CTSA members, newcomers, and the wider translational research community. The N3C is a data resource and collaborative community built for COVID-19 research. The N3C Data Enclave contains harmonized, patient-level clinical data from 36 institutions across the country, allowing the research community to study COVID-19 at a scale and statistical power not possible within any single institution.

The Immunosuppressed/Compromised (ISC) Clinical Domain Team aims to gain a better understanding of how COVID-19 affects patient populations with suppressed or compromised immune systems.
