CARISCA Training Series – Crafting a Pitch for a Trade Journal

You have conducted your research and now comes the hard part—getting published. While publishing in academic journals is critical for advancing knowledge, getting your research published in a trade journal will expand awareness of your work and its results to a wider audience.

Trade journals have a different set of requirements and expectations than academic journals. You’ll need to present your research in a way that is relevant and interesting to practitioners and other nonacademic audiences.

Join us April 18 to learn all about “Crafting a Pitch for a Trade Journal.” This CARISCA Training workshop, presented by the executive editor of CSCMP’s Supply Chain Quarterly, will cover key elements of a pitch, providing a hook, how to provide samples, and etiquette for following up.
