About

Hello, my name is Giorgos Kallis. I am an ICREA Professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. I have published over one hundred peer-reviewed articles, and I have reviewed as editor, referee or as a friend many more. I have supervised some 15 PhD students, and helped scores of masters’ students turn their dissertations into publishable papers.

In this website, I share what I have learned over the years about the craft of writing and publishing a paper. And I invite colleagues who are successful writers, reviewers or journal editors to share their insights with us.
