Getting Published: Perspectives from Early-Career Scholars

Abstract

The process of publishing research in academic journals can be mystifying. In this chapter, the authors offer insights from their experiences publishing as early-career scholars. In addition to discussing nuts and bolts (e.g., what a response letter to a “revise and resubmit” decision needs to accomplish, and various ways of structuring one), the authors attend to the emotional work of navigating the publishing process, emphasizing the value of ongoing learning and a supportive community.
