IPCITI 2025 Workshops

This interactive workshop addresses the challenges faced by early-career researchers in Translation and Interpreting Studies when navigating the landscape of academic publishing. Participants will gain practical insights into the publication process, from selecting appropriate venues and developing publishable content to understanding editorial workflows and responding effectively to peer review feedback.

Hands-on activities form an integral part of the session, creating a collaborative learning environment where participants actively share their publishing experiences, challenges, and plans. These exercises will include analysing successful publication strategies, drafting responses to reviewer comments, and developing publishing roadmaps.

Drawing on concrete examples, the session will equip participants with actionable strategies for disseminating their research while developing a sustainable publication trajectory. The workshop combines theoretical frameworks with practical application, allowing attendees to immediately implement concepts within their own research contexts.
