Resources for Publishing |
The Publication and Presentation learning community is focused on providing support for faculty and staff who wish to take their research and writing to the next level. In preparing for publication, it is first best to review research procedures and it is recommended those interested first review the Institute's Research and Assessment learning community's guide on planning research. It is especially important to note that any research that involves data collected from human subjects must first go through IRSC's Institutional Review Board (IRB) and most likely an IRB review form will have to be completed. Presentation or publication of research which has not been reviewed by IRSC's IRB can result in heavy punishment and fines for both the individuals involved as well as the school itself.
