"Publishing in Internationally-Ranked Journals: The View from One Editor’s Chair"
Harvill Building, Room 204
ABSTRACT
This talk is aimed at students who are planning to publish in top-tier journals, such as Environmental Science & Technology. I take a look at the human side of publishing and propose ways to reduce the chance of getting rejected without review and navigating the review process. I will discuss my ‘extreme outline’ approach to writing manuscripts as a way to save time and your (and your mentor’s) sanity.

Dr. Field has a PhD in geochemistry from the Colorado School of Mines. Her current research focuses on the development and application of quantitative analytical methods for organic micropollutants and their transformation products in natural and engineered systems with a focus on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). She is considered a pioneer in the area of PFAS occurrence and behavior and has focused on groundwater contaminated by fire-fighting foams and PFAS in municipal wastewater treatment systems and in municipal landfills. Current work focuses on the development of PFAS fingerprinting sources, biomimetic chromatography of PFAS, and PFAS on specialized textiles, fluoropolymers and other materials. She served as an Executive and Associate Editor for Environmental Science and Technology.
