[ AE2026 ] Author Workshop: Understanding Academic Publishing

September 30, 2026 | 13:00–14:00 | Room: Sonet | Free | Registration mandatory

Are you preparing to publish your research, or looking to strengthen your scientific publishing strategy? Join this free author workshop at AE2026 with Judith-Irini Terpos, Associate Publisher in the Life Sciences Journals at Springer Nature, who brings 25 years of experience overseeing the Aquatic and Environmental Sciences journal portfolio.

Judith will guide participants through the key stages of the publishing process — from writing and structuring a manuscript to selecting the right journal, navigating peer review, and promoting published work. The session also includes a special presentation by Daniel L. Merrifield, Editor-in-Chief of Aquaculture International, on the author pre-submission checklist.

Topics covered:

• Getting published: logical manuscript structure
• Springer Nature and AI: strategy, policy, and when (not) to use AI
• Efficient publishing strategy: impact, target audience, journal and publishing model choice
• Submitting successfully: cover letters, peer review, and the Aquaculture International pre-submission checklist
• Promoting your work: tips, tutorials, and free resources

This session is especially valuable for early-career researchers, students, and anyone seeking practical advice on publishing in aquaculture and life sciences journals.
