Events for researchers: – ‘How to get published’ with Wiley
Designed especially for early-career researchers, Wiley have developed four new webinars to help researchers increase their chances of getting published in an academic journal.

- Promoting your work after it gets published
- Subject-specific publishing tips
- Publishing in English as a non-native speaker
See more details and register on the Wiley Webinars for Researchers page.
