Identity and Community Building for Digital Publications

Your journal, review, or digital project is essential. Everyone in your academic community knows your publication by name and waits for your latest issues to read the cutting edge research on your topic. Everyone from emerging scholars to highly regarded figures in your profession submit their manuscripts for your consideration. After all, you’re the go-to resource for scholarship on your unique niche within your field. Or, at least, that’s the dream.

So, how do you build your reputation and create a vibrant community around your digital publication?

In this workshop we’ll talk about strategies to craft an identity and attract writers and readers to your publication. We’ll learn how to define the scope of your publication and write clear mission statements, calls for papers, and information about publication that will attract the authors and content you’re looking for. We’ll explore how to find and reach out to your audience online and publish inclusive editorial policies that welcome a diverse group of scholars into your community.
