I hope you had a great start to 2015. I've finally managed to catch up on the MGIS admissions this year and it looks like it's a bumper year for really interested and enthusiastic students.
And just because every post should have a photo...
I've also been working though my feedly backlog and found two useful writing resources.
1. Style checks for academic and non fiction writing: https://medium.com/advice-and-help-in-authoring-a-phd-or-non-fiction/top-ten-style-checks-for-phds-or-creative-non-fiction-writers-9ca63542f5d
Particularly good if you need to think about sentence and paragraph construction.
2. How to get published in academia: http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/jan/03/how-to-get-published-in-an-academic-journal-top-tips-from-editors
Includes hints on dealing with reviewers as well as picking a journal.
