RSA Events 2024: How to publish short articles that make an impact by Regions eZine Editorial Team

How to publish short articles that make an impact workshop

Stefania Fiorentino and Robert Bowen, Regions eZine Editors, organised and delivered this workshop.

The workshop, “How to publish short articles that make an impact,” is designed to aid prospective authors in getting additional publication—either a short article or a thought piece—by publishing on Regions, the RSA’s online magazine. This magazine is the RSA’s online voice, collecting short and cutting-edge discussions in Regional Studies.

For the 2024 thematic issues, we concentrate on “New Frontiers in Regional Studies”.

The Spotlight section’s research or policy review articles are 1,500 and 2,500 words.

Led by two members of the editorial board, the workshop encourages participants to present commentary and visualization ideas that align with the three themes of this year’s Regions issues:

• Navigating AI and New Technologies in Regional Policy and Practices: Opportunity or Challenge?
• Exploring Green Growth, De-Growth, and Post-Growth: Heterodox Frameworks in Regional Development.
• Global Challenges, Regional Solutions: Rethinking Regional Development Policies.

The workshop offers a platform for participants to share their concepts and receive feedback from the audience and journal editors. Journal editors at the conference will continue conversations with the presenters after the session to offer more feedback, and the best articles will be selected for publication in Regions.

• The general subtract submission deadline is 4th of June 2024.

Interested participants are encouraged to submit their proposals, comprising a title and a 250-word abstract, upon registering for the workshop, ensuring timely submission by the conference’s application deadline on the 4th of June. Up to ten ideas will be selected for presentation, with each presenter allocated 5 minutes for their pitch. Feedback on taking the pitch forward will be provided, and the best articles will be published in Regions eZine.
