Episode 6: When Bad Things Happen to Good Work

Scholarly Publishing Teahouse Librarians at LaGuardia Community College — Wed, 07 May 2025 15:04:03 +0000

Rejection happens to pretty much every academic at one time or another. Listen in as the Teahouse talks about why rejection is often not about your academic work, and scholars should be prepared with a back-up plan to submit elsewhere if a work is turned away. We muse on some of the problems that we see with peer review. And Liz wonders if she will be asked to do some peer reviewing by Ann.

Episode 3: Institutional Repositories, or How to Get Your Work Out from Behind the Paywall

Scholarly Publishing Teahouse Librarians at LaGuardia Community College — Mon, 20 May 2024 18:01:44 +0000

Institutional repositories (IRs) and other types of repositories can help you make your article (or a version of it) freely available online; thus, removing cost barriers to access for scholars and students at poorly-resourced institutions. This is often referred to on publisher websites as self-archiving.

Episode 2: Picking a Journal

Scholarly Publishing Teahouse Librarians at LaGuardia Community College — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:54:54 +0000

Where can you look to find journals that might be appropriate for your article? And what about those journals should you pay particular attention to when making a decision where to submit your work? The Scholarly Publishing Teahouse has some ideas for you! And we wonder if you’ve ever found a scam index or scam impact factor.
