What previous participants have said about this course:
- “The overview is relatively quick for how huge this topic is, there are a lot of extra resources provided to look into in your own time, and Joanna Young is inclusive of all disciplines in her approach. It was very reassuring to see people who were already in the publication process there as well. It just goes to show that it is convoluted and there is a lot to learn and improve on whatever stage you are at.”
- “This course is very good at breaking the process down into logical, sequential steps and providing tips on how to maximise outcome”
- “Publish or perish demystified the whole publishing process and it is worth the time”
