A couple of us have come online this past week and tried this out: so far we've been able to get some work done where we might have struggled! Do come along and try co-working online if you feel you need informal accountability partners that aren't your supervisor :D

[copied from e-mail]

Warm greetings from the NIE Graduate Student Club (NIEGSC)!

We would like to invite you to our upcoming NIEGSC Graduate Student Talk Event: How to Publish in Top Journals as Graduate Students?

The aims of the event are:

·       to provide a platform for graduate students to share their problems and experience in paper publication and receive advice and tips from fellow and senior students,  among graduate students,

·       to provide a chance for graduate students to meet peers with various backgrounds, and

·       to help students become familiar with the publication process to improve self-belief and confidence

This is a get-together of graduate students. We will invite Ms. Zhu Xuelian, a senior graduate student from NIE, to share her publication experiences. She is selected for her seniority background, diverse study and work experiences, and remarkable publication achievement. Please see the speaker’s bio and publication by Feb 2023 in the attachment.

Though our speaker Xuelian has most of her publications in the Applied Linguistic field, she will share some publication experiences and tips that are transferrable to other disciplines. In this way, all graduate students from NIE will have their own takeaways from this event, no matter what academic group you are in.

Please see the event details below:

Event Date/Time: Tuesday, 7 March 2023, 16:00 – 17:20

Event Location: Hybrid (held on NIE Campus – location to be confirmed, and via Zoom)

Event Registration link: https://forms.office.com/r/k8P7Hdjtiu

Speaker: Ms. Zhu Xuelian  （ELL PhD Candidate）

Moderator: Ms. Huang Yanyan（ELL EdD Candidate; NIE GSC Treasurer）

Please note that the registration for in-person attendance will be closed on Thursday, 2nd March 2023. For in-person attendance, refreshments will be served at the end of the event.

Registration for online attendance will be closed on Friday, 3rd  March 2023.

If you have registered for our event, we will send you a reminder a few days before.

We look forward to seeing you at our event!

Kind regards,

NIE Graduate Student Club
