The art and science of publishing in professional journals is an area virtually ignored in academic training programs. This volume presents an insider's view of how to develop a personal program of productive publishing and how to increase the chances that your articles will be accepted for publication. Written in a witty, conversational style, the book covers the informal and formal mechanisms involved in submitting articles to scholarly journals, revising articles, and dealing with rejected manuscripts. New and established academics from all disciplines will benefit from this pragmatic and engaging work.
