  24. How to get published with international journals?

  25. Before you start…………. You must have a clear topic or topics to be reviewed, what is your research question?

  26. Ideas where to start As well as ‘traditional’ research… Are you working on a Doctoral or Master’s thesis? Have you completed a project which concluded successfully? Are you wrestling with a problem with no clear solution? Do you have an opinion or observation on a subject? Have you given a presentation or conference paper? If so, you have the basis for a publishable paper

  27. NEW IDEAS NEW IDEAS NEW IDEAS Editors are looking for “something new and preferably surprising” according to Dr. Peter Smith, a Cambridge philosopher and former editor of Analysis, the philosophical journal.

  28. Be Careful: There are 1,000,000’s of published studies. You need to MASTER your topic: be aware of works completed by others, updates or/and be ready to answer questions or summarize it.

  29. References:

The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.” —E.O. WILSON

  31. Think of a literature review as a jigsaw puzzle

  32. Which journal to go for?

  33. Criteria You Might Look At: • Rankings (example Thomson Reuters Impact factors; the Association of Business Schools ABS etc.)

  36. Criteria You Might Look At: • Rankings (example Thomson Reuters Impact factors; the Association of Business Schools ABS etc.) • Number of downloads (utility) • Dissemination of journal (where it is read) • Links to societies/associations • Relevance of content and publishing ethos • International

  37. Questions to Ask Yourself When Choosing: What are your most important factors when choosing a journal? Which resources do you use to research the journals you publish in? Which rankings do you use? How important are they? Who do you ask for advice? What is the best journal in your field? Why?

  38. PROCESS!!!!! Putting A and B together to build up your work

  39. Surviving peer review Not always straight forward proccess

  40. The Process Submission is an important step on the road to being published Reviewers are selected for their expertise by the Editors They do sometimes make mistakes and their opinions may not be valid But generally they raise genuine concerns about the work – conceptualization, execution and/or interpretation of the work

  41. The Process Their comments are aimed at maintaining the quality of papers publish in the journal, the overall journal reputation and ultimately at improving your work to attain a high standard of academic writing.

  42. Process Conclusion: Identify a few possible target journals but be realistic Follow the Author Guidelines: scope, type of paper, word length, references style, etc. Find where to send your paper (editor, regional editor, subject area editor) … … and how to send it (email, hard copy, online submission) Send an outline or abstract to editor: is it suitable? how can it be made so? Read at least one issue of the journal
