Preparing Research Articles

Abstract

The art of writing up a completed research project in a form suitable for submission to a professional journal is an ability separate from one's skills as a research methodologist, clinician, or administrator. It is also an ability that, despite its importance, is often overlooked by graduate research courses and senior-level mentors. This book is a guide to preparing research articles and it presents an insider's look to writing up studies and getting them published. It aims to unravel the mysteries and illuminate the pitfalls that students, as well as many established researchers, might otherwise stumble over. The book's advice on selecting an appropriate journal, handling rejections and revisions, understanding confusing concepts like impact factors and electronic publishing, and avoiding common methodological and formatting pitfalls constitute a gold mine of information for the fledgling research writer.
