Week 14 - Always Something New

This week with the Florida Historical Quarterly something new came up that I had never dealt with before. Within the world of academic journals there are rules and regulations revolving around publications. We had an issue with the upcoming issue of the Quarterly in regards to publications. This experience showed me the problems that a journal can have with regards to the submitters and their responsibilities. It also reminds me of how important it is to ensure that your work that you publish to a journal is completely your own and not published anywhere else.

Week 13

This week with the Florida Historical Quarterly I continued my editing work. I have compiled so many more names for the database of Florida Historians and am very excited to see where the database takes us and the help it can give to those looking at doing a Florida topic masters thesis or PhD dissertation. Overall this experience with the Quarterly is helping expand my knowledge of my field immensely.

Week 15/16 - The End

As things come to a close in my internship with the Florida Historical Quarterly I have been putting together a PowerPoint to show all of the things that I have learned in my internship. I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have been give and I am also grateful for all of the things that I have learned through it that I could not have gotten anywhere else.  The proof editing skills I have gained will help me in my writing as I go on to a graduate program. The other skills I learned will also help me as I continue my academic career. I am very grateful to Dr. Lester and Dr. Murphree for all of their advice and help throughout this process
