Tips for a r authors: Do’s a and D Don’t

• What are the most common challenges people experience

when submitting and going through a publication process to your journal?

• How to meet those challenges?

Brian W Wha halen en

• Do an appropriate literature review to understand the context for

what you are researching and writing about

• Ask whether the research is relevant and offers something that will

help to advance the field

• Ask colleagues and experts to provide feedback on your research

before submitting, including someone who is a good editor

• Not good idea to submit unrevised Master's thesis or dissertation
• If you are conducting research, be sure to have an adequate sample

size that is representative, as well as a comparison group when possible

Laura ra Rumb mbley ey

• Accept that peer-review is a slow process
• Get feedback on your draft article
• Know your audience
• Graduate students - concentrate on a compelling message

Michae ael Smith thee

• Pay close attention to submission guidelines
• Make your argument consistent
• Understand the nature of double-blind peer review/critiques
• Graduate students – seek feedback from or co-author with faculty
• International authors – use citation format the journal requires and

give particular attention to the citation of other’s words

Que Questi tions ns f from the A he Audi udience

• In small groups, brainstorm for “burning” questions
• Choose 1-2 questions from your group to be answered by

presenters

• Write them down on a provided notecard
