Within the Academy, itself a changing and increasingly
entrepreneurial entity, publishing is no longer an option; it is
the universal currency that secures a position, tenure and
promotion; it is key to academic life. Providing a panoramic
picture of the changing publishing climate, Academic Life and the
Publishing Landscape will empower scholars by enabling them to
navigate this changing terrain more successfully. This book
provides guidance from a range of contributors who use their own
wide expertise in writing and publication to document the
challenges faced by scholars at different career stages and in
different locations. It covers a wide range of debates on
publishing, spilt into the following three sections: Mapping the
Publication Landscape, Writing for Publication-Learning from
Successful Voices, Further Challenges and Possibilities. With
topics ranging from the process of preparing manuscripts for
publication, including chapters on calculating journal rankings and
understanding the Peer Review process, through to chapters on
speaking to international audiences and writing for elite
international journals, this book offers a unique perspective on
how the changing nature of publishing works. This will be a useful
guide for scholars across the globe looking to enhance their
publication performance, and those questioning what needs to be
done in order to understand, navigate and to (re-)position one's
self and institution in this increasingly significant and rapidly
altering terrain. Ciaran Sugrue is Professor of Education,
University College Dublin, Ireland and has been Head of School from
2011-14. Sefika Mertkan is an Assistant Professor of Educational
Leadership and Management at Eastern Mediterranean University.
