Title & Content

Title:
Becoming a Published Archaeologist [ECA]
Content:
Publishing our work is a major part of being an archaeologist, but the routes to publication are not always clear. There are national differences in style and preferred publication type, different sub-disciplinary norms, and language and style barriers that may seem insurmountable. Moreover, wisely planned publication strategies are often necessary for gaining research funding at national and international levels. This round table hosted by the EAA’s Early Career Archaeologists (ECA) community and European Journal of Archaeology (EJA) brings together journal editors and book publishers from around Europe to discuss the archaeological publishing ecosystem, answer questions about publication norms and practices, and address specific concerns early career archaeologists may have regarding the publication process.

Topics to be considered include:
- How does the journal editorial/peer review process work (and not work)?
- What do traditional publications do (and not do)?
- What do I need to know to start publishing my research?
Keywords:
Academic publishing, early career archaeologists, peer-review process, professional development
