Are you a first-time author? Do you have questions about the process of submitting a manuscript for publication? We have answers! Please join the Editorial Board of Biotropica for an informal chat over lunch about the publication process. Our aim is to demystify the process of publishing in the peer-reviewed, scientific literature. Topics may include how to select a journal for submission, what actually happens once you submit your manuscript, how to write a “response to reviewers” letter, and among others. We welcome any questions, queries, or concerns you may have, and we look forward to a lively discussion. Please grab some lunch and then join us for the discussion.
