Getting Your Work Published: Advice for New and Developing Scholars

Abstract

Academic writing and publishing are skills that are vital to the success of new scholars; however, existing writing supports are limited in terms of supported languages and genres (Strobl et al., 2019). To optimize these kinds of support, institutional units need to exist in tandem with non-institutional supports, such as peer-to-peer collaboration (Gopee & Deane 2013). Writing skills associated with research articles also need to be discussed in greater detail and receive a greater share of support (Strobl et al., 2019). Such support would benefit all graduate students (Ma, 2019). The authors of this manuscript have come together to offer advice and considerations to early-career scholars looking to publish for the first time. These include building confidence, publishing with peers, understanding diverse journals, developing one’s writer’s voice, and pursuing diverse publishing opportunities.
