The library reports that EBSCO and IEEE will be holding a free, face-to-face event in Portugal, ideal for researchers who want to publish in IEEE journals and maximise the impact of their research.

The event, ‘Develop Your Research CV: IEEE Workshop for Authors’, is dedicated to exploring key strategies for scientific publication and maximising the impact of your research.

This workshop will provide practical insights into the publication process and help researchers improve their chances of success in IEEE journals and other scientific publications.
