Join Dr. Diane Hill, Assistant Chancellor, University-Community Partnerships & Office of University Community Partnership staff as she provides an overview of the TICEM model for community engagement and discusses its application for university personnel. TICEM, or the Transdisciplinary Intergenerational Community Engagement Model, explores pathways to meaningful collaboration with communities.

TICEM emphasizes ways in which to engage all collaborators respectfully so that solution building is more inclusive and accepted.

Once you have a completed manuscript, how should you choose a journal? How can you avoid a desk reject? What’s inside the black box of the review process? Why does it take so long? How do editors make final decisions? How can you best deal with a Revise & Resubmit? How can you move forward if the decision is “reject”? What makes a good review?

In this workshop, editors of academic journals share insights from their experiences working with manuscripts and managing the review process. We aim to illuminate for junior scholars and graduate students the process of publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
