Workshop "Dos and don’ts of communicating with reviewers and editors"

Academic publishing in English requires repeated correspondence with editors and reviewers in another language in order to situate and defend our scholarly work. This high-stakes correspondence is very stressful and often feels like we’re being forced to repeat our articles or prior messages. In this workshop, we’ll focus on “threading the needle” when corresponding with editors and reviewers between language that is too aggressive and too weak. We’ll also talk about how to take reviews seriously without compromising a publication’s aims.
