The aim of this webinar is to help presenters at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) learn how to transition their paper or poster presentation into a manuscript submission to Innovation in Aging (IA), GSA’s open access journal. The webinar will be hosted by Michelle Putnam, PhD, MGS, FGSA, Editor-in-Chief, and Karen J. Jung, MSW, Managing Editor, of the journal.

The first half of the webinar will cover:

• Types of manuscripts IA is looking for

• Elements of a strong submission

• Submission process

• What to expect from the peer-review process

Specific issues to address will include:

• How to determine which submission category to submit under

• When and what to include in the supplementary material

• Journal’s policy on the use of artificial intelligence (AI)

The second half of the webinar will be an open Q&A session for authors.

The webinar is open to scholars at all levels, with a particular focus on supporting authors with less experience publishing in GSA’s peer-reviewed journals.
