Participate in the publication process
Doctoral students gain valuable research and publication experience through working side-by-side with faculty on ground-breaking research. Top doctoral students become partners with faculty in publishing in the field’s top journals. Through this partnership, they build the skills necessary for generating compelling ideas for new research, using research methods that provide informative and reliable findings, and writing persuasive papers. Additionally, the opportunity to work side-by-side with leading scholars on important research projects that result in conference presentations, publications, and policy improvement recommendations to legislators and local governments is invaluable. These notable accomplishments make them particularly attractive to employers.
