Research Seminar: Professor Fabiola Gerpott

Seminar Title: How to handle R&R's when publishing in top journals

Abstract: Handling revise and resubmit (R&R) decision in the publication process effectively is crucial for successfully publishing in top journals. This research seminar will explore best practices for navigating reviewer feedback, managing emotional responses, and turning critical reviews into opportunities for manuscript improvement. For example, we will discuss how to interpret reviewer intent, coordinate with co-authors, and maintain productive communication with editors. The seminar aims to help PhD students develop a resilient approach to the R&R process, ultimately increasing their chances of publishing in high-impact journals.
