Proposal Development Workshop
Special Focus: Adapting Conference Presentations
for Publication as Notes
Thursday, May 4, 2023 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM (Eastern)
The Cybersecurity Skills Journal (CSJ) publishes Special Issues with Articles, Notes and Dialogues that impact cybersecurity practice, improve learning, and advance the state of the cybersecurity workforce’s capability maturity. Notes explore new areas, rather than seeking to confirm or disconfirm results of prior research, as is done in an Article. Conference presentations that explore or document challenges encountered by the cybersecurity workforce --from education and training to operational issues such as recruitment, retention and career advancement-- may be readily adapted to the Note format.
Join us for this special webinar designed to assist presenters identify how to rapidly adapt their existing presentation related to the cybersecurity workforce from a recent conference or event into a Note for publication in an upcoming Special Issue of the Journal. The focus is helping participants consider how to identify the human factors involved in the technology, tools or operational challenges from their presentation. Participants will also learn how to map their presentation into the structured abstract format used by the Journal, starting with the problem, research question(s), and the contribution that are part of the initial submission to the Journal.
Please view our current open Calls for Proposals for more information on individual Special Issue topics and timelines. Submissions may address any aspect of research into cybersecurity but must align with the Journal’s mission: emphasis should be placed on enhancing the capabilities of the cybersecurity practitioner, educator, or researcher, not on technology.
Cybersecurity Skills Journal authors benefit from exceptional support including but not limited to constructive advice received from 10-person peer review and mentoring panels. We encourage authors to submit rough ideas initially that may be iteratively developed into an appropriate manuscript format.
To help authors think through the definition of the problem, the research question(s), and the contribution statements needed for submission, CSJ holds Proposal Development Workshops, which provide an opportunity to get immediate feedback from members of the CSJ Editorial Board.
Prospective authors are asked to review our updated Overview Presentation before attending the Proposal Development Workshop. This presentation will help you to understand the Journal's mission, types of manuscripts, initial submission requirements, and timeline.
If you are interested in having a Proposal Development Workshop for your organization, please use any of the individual registration forms to contact us.
