Researchers today are working in a rapidly changing environment shaped by new AI tools, evolving publishing models, increasing demands for research transparency, and growing competition for traditional funding. This three-part series will help scientists strengthen core professional skills for producing, sharing, and supporting their research in this changing landscape.
Across the series, participants will explore how AI-enabled tools can support literature review, writing, discovery, and research productivity; how scientific publishing is being reshaped by open access, peer review pressures, AI, preprints, research integrity concerns, and changing expectations for trust and authority; and how academic researchers can identify and pursue industry partnerships as a complementary source of research support. The series is designed to help researchers make informed decisions, communicate their work more effectively, and position their research for publication, funding, collaboration, and broader impact.

Join live when you can, watch later when you need to. The best experience happens live, with opportunities to ask questions and engage with instructors in real time. If a date in the series does not work for your schedule, your registration includes one year of access to the recording in the Academy’s on-demand library.

Series Learning Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will be better able to:
- Identify appropriate uses of AI-enabled tools to support literature review, writing, discovery, and scholarly productivity
- Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and responsible-use considerations of AI-generated outputs in research and scholarly communication
- Describe how AI, open access, peer review pressures, preprints, paper mills, and other forces are reshaping scientific publishing
- Apply strategies for selecting appropriate journals, positioning manuscripts effectively, responding to reviewer feedback, and avoiding common publishing mistakes
- Explain how industry partners evaluate academic research collaborations and what motivates companies to invest in external research
- Develop initial strategies for positioning research for publication, industry collaboration, funding opportunities, and broader scholarly or societal impact
While the Publish and Fund Your Research Series is designed to support comprehensive skill development, each session can also be attended as a standalone event. We encourage registering for the full series to achieve the full list of learning objectives. Bundled member pricing offers the best value, and nonmembers may wish to explore the cost savings and additional benefits of membership before registering.
If you register for the full series after one or more sessions have already taken place, you will receive access to the recordings for any events you may have missed.
