Session H3: Turning your conference paper into a journal article
Patricia Thomson, Room 32

They will then work through a 'tiny text' (the abstract) to develop their distinctive contribution to a specific journal. Finally, they will refine their argument and develop a re-drafting plan, using strategic headings, section weightings, and signposts.
