Location
Writing and Publishing your First Research Article in an Education/Childhood/Youth Journal
UPDATE (06/11/25): Please note that this event has now been cancelled due to localised industrial action. We hope to rearrange it, and announce a new date, in the near future.
************************
The aim of this workshop is to demystify the process of writing for publication, both in terms of how to write a journal article and how to navigate the publication process. Participants will learn to:
- Select a journal in which to publish;
- Tailor their writing to that specific journal;
- Underscore the contribution and significance of your research;
- Respond to reviewer comments.
This will be an interactive workshop. Before attending, you are asked to book a meeting with your supervisor and ask them to suggest three journals that they think would be a good home for a research article based on your PhD research (and explain why they think these journals might be a good fit).

Please note: The WRDTP is committed to sustainability and to reducing the waste from excess catering at events. A key challenge here is non-attendance at events. From October 1st 2025, the WRDTP will be changing the way we manage the non-attendance of PGR students who have booked place/s at WRDTP Training events. Any PGR student who does not inform the WRDTP (via training@wrdtp.ac.uk) that they will not be able to attend a WRDTP event at least 3 working days before the event takes place will have the cost of their place deducted from their RTSG (if a WRDTP-funded student), or have this charged to their department (if not funded by the WRDTP). This will allow us to better plan for events and to avoid catering waste. Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter.
This is an in-person only event at Sheffield Hallam University.
Bookings will close at 9am on Friday 28th November.
When booking your place, we ask that you use your institutional (.ac.uk) email address and complete all fields of the booking form. Thank you for your understanding.
