Web Notes Overview

This course introduces tools which can help inform decisions about publishing. It will be particularly useful for those new to publishing, or looking to publish in a new area. It is intended to supplement, rather than replace detailed disciplinary advice available from research supervisors, research groups and other academic staff.
