From Dissertation to Publication: Workshop for PhDs
CERES Palais, room "Ruhrpott" (4.13)
How can you transform your dissertation into a published book?
This workshop provides guidance for doctoral students in the humanities on developing successful publication strategies. In this workshop, participants will gain insights into the requirements and formalities at the Ruhr University Bochum (Faculty of Philology) and explore different publication options: from digital uploads and open access to self-financed publications in Germany and collaborations with international publishing houses. Carla Hansmann and Nicole Ihme (Universitätsbibliothek Bochum) will present the submission regulations and open access services for dissertations at RUB and explain the publication process and funding opportunities. Andrew Prashanth, Senior Editor for Religious Studies at Palgrave Macmillan, will present his publication series and guide participants through the steps from submitting a book proposal to seeing the final product published. In addition, Prof. Dr Anna Neumaier (CERES) will discuss publication strategies and academic publishers focusing on Religious Studies in Germany and share experiences and advice with the participants.
