Abstract
Increasingly, Extension faculty and staff are asked to publish articles in peer-reviewed journals as part of the tenure and promotion process. This can present a hurdle for many aspiring authors who are unsure about their writing abilities and/or the submission and review process. In this presentation, we will address both of these concerns with tips for better writing and an explanation of the peer-review process as it pertains to the Journal of NACAA. After attending this presentation, participants should
- know the components of a peer-reviewed manuscript;
- understand best writing practices;
- be able to use the NACAA online system to submit and manage their manuscripts; and
- be comfortable with the peer-review process.
