Digital Publishing Workshop: Introduction to Digital Publishing

Curious about scholarly publishing in the digital age? Learn about what makes digital publishing both essential and challenging for scholars today and get a behind-the-scenes look at the work that editorial staff do bring high quality scholarship online.

In this introductory workshop we’ll break down the publication cycle, beginning with how a digital publication gets started — and how you can create your own journal or other publications with Columbia University Libraries! This walk through the publishing process will cover the basics of editorial development and production and introduce topics like peer review, copyright and intellectual property, impact, and marketing that will be explored in future workshops. Throughout, we’ll highlight how ethical publishing and a focus on diversity and inclusion in editorial practice produces high quality, innovative digital scholarship.
