OMT Mid-Career Faculty Paper Development Workshop
The increasing demands for publication in top journals places greater stress on all faculty members. Most Academy publishing workshops are aimed at doctoral students and junior faculty. Mid-career faculty, however, face pressures to publish as well and there are fewer Academy resources aimed at helping these faculty. OMT offers professional development workshop aimed at faculty who are six to fifteen years out from their PhD degree. In this workshop, we invite Mid-Career Faculty to submit an abstract of a research paper for which they would like help from editors at our major journals.
Editors at our major journals have agreed to act as mentors to small groups of mid-career faculty. We have asked editors who can aid faculty in particular areas and they have generously agreed.
