Round Table: Demystifying Publishing Landscapes for Early Career Researchers
(ECRs)
Are you an Early Career Researcher (ECR) navigating the complex world of
academic publishing in Science and Technology Studies (STS)? Join us at the
EASST/4S Amsterdam meeting for an insightful roundtable discussion titled
"Demystifying Publishing Landscapes for ECRs."
This session is designed to provide a space for reflecting on the current STS
publishing landscape through the lens of early career scholars. What are some
current publishing struggles and difficulties we face as ECRs, and are any of
these STS-specific? Are we constrained by available outputs, and could it be
otherwise? How do we move beyond entrenched norms of publishing, and what
alternative avenues can we pursue?
Through an informal discussion, this roundtable intends to reflect on the
state of publishing in STS (the good and the bad), discuss alternative
academic outputs for ECRs in STS, and, most importantly, offer valuable career
advice for ECRs on navigating this oftentimes puzzling landscape.
Our roundtable features scholars from various career stages and platforms.
Post-docs will share their experiences of transforming their theses into
books, offering practical insights and strategies. Senior scholars with
extensive knowledge of STS publishing will discuss the intricacies of the
publishing process, highlight common obstacles, and explore innovative
publishing avenues.
This is an excellent opportunity for ECRs to gain firsthand advice, expand
their understanding of the publishing landscape in STS, and engage in
meaningful dialogue about how publishing in STS is experienced by and affects
ECRs. Don't miss this chance to enhance your academic career with guidance
from those who have successfully navigated the path. Join us for this dynamic
session and take the next step in your publishing journey!
After the roundtable, there will be time for informal discussions with our
panelists (or other ECRs) over coffee and small snacks!

We warmly invite anyone who identifies themselves as an early career
researcher to join, this could mean scholars in any number of career stages.
