Overview

The UK EQUATOR Centre’s Publication School is designed for early-career researchers and students. It aims to give you a smooth writing process that results in a published article that is fit for purpose.

It broke academic writing for publication down into really manageable and achievable guidance points. Made me less worried about writing my next article!
