Stanford Libraries' Spring 2018 Gear Up event focused on many aspects of scientific and technical publishing, including graphics for publication, data sharing, writing abstracts, author rights, graphical abstracts, and preprint services. 

The event also included a group of Stanford faculty who served as journal editors that joined us for a panel discussion to answer questions about how to get published.
