As promised, here is the list that I've compiled: free online resources for emerging researchers who want to learn about the scholarly publication process. Thanks to all of those who've sent me these suggestions! Hopefully the list will be helpful to many of our colleagues.

In honor of Dan’s annual tweet, I want to encourage anyone teaching remotely to check out his book. I mean it when I say it’s the most actionable guidance on teaching live sessions online that I’ve encountered (ToC below). Here's a thread of some of the insights from this book:
Table of Content's from Dan's book: Chapter 1: Introduction. Chapter 2: Guiding Principles. Chapter 3: Speak. Chapter 4: Vote. Chapter 5: Write. Chapter 6: Work in Groups. Chapter 7: Share Work. Chapter 8: Present. Chapter 9: Annotate. Chapter 10: Blend Sync and Async. Chapter 11: Building Community. Chapter 12: Next Steps.
