Zusammenfassung: | Writing for publication will be central to students’ future careers, so learning this skill should be integral to their graduate training. In a recent graduate seminar, we set up an assignment for which students would write a digital review (DR) and receive periodic feedback on their work through an innovative mock peer-review roundtable workshop. Each student wrote a DR intended for actual publication in the journal
Advances in Archaeological Practice
. Students worked closely with the instructor and the journal editor on their individual topics, outlines, and abstracts. They also peer-reviewed each other's drafts and discussed their feedback as part of the roundtable workshop, which simulated real reviewers. Finally, each student wrote cover letters and prepared images for submission to the journal. This exercise demystified the peer-review process for students who had little prior knowledge about publication, prepared students for responding to reviewer comments from varying viewpoints, and helped students understand the additional steps involved in publication. Although it was challenging to scale this exercise to a large class, we hope that others will also try and share results from these types of authentic real-world training experiments to advance graduate pedagogy in our discipline and beyond.
Escribir para publicaciones será fundamental para las carreras futuras de los estudiantes, por lo que aprender esta habilidad debe ser parte integral de su formación de posgrado. Reciente, en un seminario de posgrado, configuramos una tarea en la que los estudiantes escribirían una Digital Review (DR) y recibirían comentarios periódicos sobre su trabajo a través de un innovador taller de mesa redonda de revisión por pares simulado. Cada estudiante escribió un DR destinado a la publicación real en la revista
Advances in Archaeological Practice
. Los estudiantes trabajaron en estrecha colaboración con el instructor y el editor de la revista en sus temas, esquemas y resúmenes individuales. También revisaron los borradores de los demás y discutieron sus comentarios como parte del taller de mesa redonda que simulaba revisores reales. Finalmente, cada estudiante escribió cartas de presentación y preparó imágenes para enviarlas a la revista. Este ejercicio desmitificó el proceso de revisión por pares para los estudiantes que tenían poco conocimiento previo sobre la publicación, preparó a los estudiantes para responder a los comentarios de los revisores desde difere |
