The Academic's Guide to Publishing

You've completed a research project: so how do you publish it?

For academics and postgraduates alike, this is the definitive guide to successfully publishing research. Its working premise is that completing a project is only the first phase of research. Publication is the second phase, and it requires specific skills and knowledge.

The Academic's Guide to Publishing provides the essential information on these skills in clear and succinct form:

• explains the different ways in which research can be published: in journals, books, reports, the Internet, popular media, and conferences
• demonstrates how the structures, practices and procedures involved work - making them easily understood and transparent
• situates research in the larger and changing context of Higher Education

The Academic's Guide to Publishing will show you how to secure a job, how to gain tenure, how to survive research assessment exercises, and how to obtain promotion. If you are a postgraduate or an established academic, this guide is a vital resource.
