Graduate Researchers in Print (GRiP)
The GRiP program helps candidates to work towards standards of excellence in scholarly publications. This innovative program offers critical feedback and support on various aspects of publishing, including identifying appropriate journals and responding to reviewers’ reports. GRiP participants have been very positive about the program, commenting that it creates a sense of belonging, as well as making a significant contribution to their level of professionalism.
Participants of the GRiP program have reported very positive outcomes. A recent survey revealed over 98% of participants drafted an article for eventual publication in a referred journal, 53% submitted an article for publication, and 19% had a journal article accepted in a peer-reviewed journal.

The unit offers intensive, or extensive and ongoing assistance to research students on issues of writing, or language on a one-to-one basis.
