Professor and Department Chair (University of New Hampshire)

Dr. Joseph Licciardi is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of New Hampshire, and previously served as a journal editor for five years. Licciardi's primary fields of study include glacial geology, geomorphology, paleoclimatology, and volcanology, with the majority of his research focusing on the development and application of geochronological methods and understanding mechanisms of climate change.

Effective communication with journal editors from the pre-submission phase through article publication is an important skillset every academic should learn. When should you contact the editor if your manuscript is ‘stuck’ in a journal’s online system? What is the etiquette for appealing an editorial decision? How long should you wait to receive peer reviews?
