Interested in publishing an academic book? Here’s some tips from acquisition editors Dan Quinlan of @utpress, Emily Andrew of @McGillQueensUP and Randy Schmidt of @UBCPress as we prepare for a publishing panel at #CPSA2023 that I’ll be moderating. A thread… 🧵 
1. Research the publisher. Familiarize yourself with their books. Address your first correspondence to the acquisitions editor by name. No “Dear Editor”! (Dan Quinlan @utpress) #publishing
2. Schedule meetings with editors at conferences. Send a 1-2 page overview of your project in advance. Practice an elevator pitch. (@eandreweditor) #conferences
Starting now w/ @AiHisano Geoff Jones and Robert Lockhart - ESC event about #writing your #firstbook #bizhis
What steps emerging business historians should take to write their first monograph?
From @AiHisano
1) think about what kind of scholar you want to be,
2) explore broader frameworks for your book than you had in your dissertation

Geoff Jones: "as much as you can, leave some space between your defense and your book, perhaps write one article to focus on your specific contributions, put yourself out there, then write a better-conceptualized book project"
What I've learned after giving over 100 talks around the world 🤯😱

Today I brought something special for you! I'll show how I reached 10 different countries, what I learned to keep myself calm while speaking to huge audiences, and much more!

This video is very special for me as I'm sharing my experiences and the reason behind Why I started giving talks in the first place.

Nearly all recent in person academic conferences/workshops I heard off (unsurprisingly) turned into #Covid mass spreader events. Trouble is that offline conferences not only increase ableist segregation, but also in this way contribute to chronic disability 🧵#AcademicTwitter 1/7
Every (re)infection significantly increases the chances of #LongCovid, and other long term #chronicillness. And those who already have #LongCovid or another #disability (many academics!!) can often not even consider participating. 2/7
Remember that vaccinations do not protect sufficiently (by a looong way!!) against #LongCovid. And so anyone can suddenly become severely disabled. Long Covid is not being a bit tired, but for many more akin to living one's death. I kid you not. It is torture. 3/7
🧵1. #IPERN officially launched on #StPatricksDay 2021 so it's our 1st birthday today!🎂🚑☘ It's been quite a year - we've hosted 10 events featuring 49 speakers (31% International 🌍 65% Female 🚺). Presented at 3 conferences, secured 3 grants and launched 5 SIG! #IrishEMS
2. How it all began… we announced ourselves to the Twitter world on Feb 1st '21. In Ireland this is traditionally the start of Spring (#Imbolc) so a time for new beginnings. It’s also St. Brigid‘s Day our matron saint who Is renowned as a healer #IrishEMS tinyurl.com/2p8w2zwt
3. Our official #IPERN launch on #StPatricksDay 2021 featured a fantastic array of Irish researchers presenting "elevator pitches" of their work and also included best wishes from international friends & colleagues! tinyurl.com/2p92at99 #IrishEMS
#MedStudents, #Residents, #Fellows, and #Research Trainees - I recently had both a resident and fellow ask me how I got involved in research and published when I was a #trainee. I thought I would share my tips and advice in this thread. #MedTwitter #ACGME #MedStudentTwitter
1. Ask yourself👉what you want from this? To pursue research as career? To boost application for #residency #fellowship #employment? To get a recommendation letter? Regardless, aim for #publication (most value). Conference talks are cool, but publications stay on CV forever!
2. Basic science research=⬆️time+lab training vs clinical research. Study designs: RCTs, prospective, retrospective, case reports, review papers. Publishing case reports+review papers are most feasible endeavors during training! Best way to boost #publication numbers.

Good morning! Thanks a lot for your invaluable input yesterday about important steps for translation & interpreting graduates and beginners on how to become a successful #freelancer. Learning from seasoned colleagues, for example as a member in an organization, is a key factor.
Today, let's focus on our professionalism. Establishing a network, attending #webinars #seminars #conferences, investing time in learning how to use a CAT tool etc. are only parts of the mosaic. In order to find and keep clients we need to act like pros.
We all expect our clients to perceive us as professional service-providers at eye level. We are neither amateurs nor hobby-translators looking for some quick cash. Honesty towards a client is important, e.g. if you're not enough qualified or a suggested deadline can't be met.
Good morning! Yesterday we spoke about translation & interpreting graduates who often are not sufficiently prepared for a #freelance life. In your opinion, what steps are necessary to become a successful freelancer?
Thanks a lot for so many good ideas! I could add the ability to act like a professional (more about that later), staying curious & always keep learning, building up a pro network, keeping a healthy life/work balance. After all, we need to recharge to stay on top.
I am humbled and privilleged to note that my #Research paper; "Sources of #Unemployment in #Lesotho" is now available and can be accessed via the People's Republic of #China's National #Science and #Technology #Library - #NSTL. I give thanks 😎
So far this year, I have successfully published three #Research articles in #Macroeconomics & #Finance, with another two in press. I am currently hammering away at a handful of working papers which will most certainly find a home in reputable #Journals, come 2021 🙏🏽🙂
Im currently internalising the very insightful reviewer comments on my latest #Research paper titled; "Investigating Determinants of Commercial Bank Spreads in #Lesotho", from the good folks over at the globally reputable #International #Journal of #Finance & #Economics #IJFE 😊

Kicking off with an introduction to social media for scientists by @hollybik & @MiriamGoldste

So why engage in social media as an epidemiologist or public health professional?
It helps to build trust in science!

One of my many pet-peeves at conferences... The ID Badge!
Nearly 50 per cent of the Badges are flipped - as a result you end up seeing a blank card. Why don't they print names on both sides? :)
Also, the font size...so small, it is often impossible to read.

One more (I think I should create a thread/blog-post on this :))
Organizers (hotels) in India need to provide plenty of strong (black) coffee! The heavy conference food and boring talks/panels are recipes for sleep.
Good caffeine is available in plenty in U.S. conferences😉

A note for 'Panel Moderators' - Please just 'moderate'! And speak in moderation :) ... Ideally, as little as possible.
Your job is to ask good questions and get the panelists to speak. Not 'grandstand'. Interrupt, only if the panelist is going on for too long, or off-topic.

Des responsabilités aussi pour @pintofscienceFR. 👩🔬🍺 Ce sont 18 #conférences dans 6 #bars différents, sur diverses thématiques : des neurosciences aux sciences politiques, en passant par la physique et les sciences de la terre, il y en aura pour tous les goûts ! 😍
Notre #job : trouver des chercheurs et leurs doctorants, les briefer sur le festival, trouver des bars en capacité d’accueillir l’événement… et tout ça depuis octobre ! @pintofscienceFR
Nous avons été très bien accueillis au sein de l’équipe de bénévoles, certains sont expérimentés, pour d’autres c’est également leur première édition. Nous avons pu partager et échanger sur nos #expériences.😊🙃

6.1) Give applicants a reply ASAP - if it's a NO they may still want to buy a paid ticket during the early bird pricing window
6.2) Give applicants a reply ASAP - if it's a YES they will also need to book travel and accommodation - making them wait exposes them to higher costs
