Abstract:

Journal articles are beneficial to readers. They offer continuing education, lessons learned, and a host of insights to the reader. More importantly, writing (and publishing) journal articles offers many career development opportunities to the author/writer. This presentation will discuss several professional benefits that can reward authors when they publish journal articles. The author-reader relationship is not that different from the mentor-mentee relationship. Ask any mentor and they will confirm that they benefit from the mentoring process. Likewise, writers can testify how they benefit both from the writing, as well as the publishing process. This presentation will enumerate several ways in which your career can benefit from publishing articles in AEE journals. Writing is not as hard as you think. The presenter will show how easy it is to identify your topic and organize your thoughts.
