“The workshop provided valuable advice and guidelines on how to conceptualize, structure and complete a research report in the form of a publishable paper. It was perceived by all participants as extremely useful, informative and pertinent, which demystified the process. Practically, it has encouraged colleagues to send their papers to relevant Emerald journals, resulting in a number of publications. It has boosted research dynamics within the school, and resulted in a number of published contributions in Emerald journals over the past three years. I would highly recommend the workshops to anyone wanting to be published.”

“We received very positive feedback from the newer members of staff, and the new academics who have yet to get published benefited greatly from it.”

“The workshop was very useful and we have received much positive feedback from the participants. The insights into the academic publishing area were very relevant and overall it was a successful event.”

“The feedback from all those who participated was extremely positive. We appreciated your clear and open presentation style and willingness to engage with so many questions from our enthusiastic audience. Particularly noticeable was how many people were inspired to believe that it was possible that they could now write a paper on their research and/or practice. We will also be visiting the Emerald and Literati Network web sites now we know more about the treasures that can be found there.”
