Developing (and Fine Tuning) a Scholarly Pipeline Online
Academic writers often generate far more ideas than they can realistically pursue, while simultaneously losing track of promising projects, stalling on works in progress, and struggling to allocate their limited time and energy toward the work that matters most. Join the OFE for this session with guest speaker Christine Tulley (University of Findlay) on designing and refining a personalized scholarly pipeline: a systematic process for managing your intellectual work from initial idea through publication and beyond, with the ultimate goal of completing and releasing work regularly rather than accumulating perpetually unfinished projects. You'll learn how to categorize and track projects in progress, establish priority tiers that reflect both your career goals and your current capacity, and build regular review habits that keep your pipeline active, moving, and aligned with your evolving scholarly identity.
