Target Group: The retreat is aimed at providing dedicated writing time to academics. Participants will have an opportunity to make progress writing about an academic project of their choice.
Background: Participants will set their own writing goal and plan their work accordingly. For example, a participant may decide to convert a conference paper to a manuscript for journal publication. Alternatively, a participant may wish to write an article based on a recently completed research project. Participants should prepare for the retreat by ensuring that they bring all resources (for example, notes, readings, articles) needed to engage in productive writing. The retreat will also make time for participants to engage in reflection and receive peer review.
Requirements: It is expected that participants will complete at least one draft of a manuscript for publication in a relevant accredited journal.
