Journal Manuscript Workshop: Writing to be published, found, and read

Organized by ACERS JOURNALS team

The Journal Manuscript Workshop will be offered on Monday, February 8 from 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Excellent abstracts and titles make articles more attractive to your audience and improve discoverability of your work by artificial intelligence algorithm employed by indexing services. After all, you need to be found to be read and cited.
