This comprehensive guide to writing journal articles addresses all
the stages and recurring challenges, from targeting a journal to
dealing with reviewer feedback. Drawing on many years of running
'Writing for Publication' workshops, Murray explores not only style
and structure but also behaviours and emotions. As a key component
of both research courses and careers, this timely text also
addresses the struggle to make time for high quality academic
writing and how to ensure a writing-life balance. Examining a
variety of approaches, relevant to many different academic
disciplines, this core text demystifies and defines writing
practices and makes this form of high-stakes academic writing seem
manageable. Writing for journals has never been more competitive,
and writers, researchers, practitioners and students need expert
guidance on productive practices and ways of maintaining focus and
motivation, which Murray provides. This latest edition is
completely updated and more relevant than ever for clinicians,
practitioners and students. "This book was already a classic, but
the update makes it even more useful. From finding time to write,
doing a short literature review and identifying scam journals,
Rowena Murray provides an excellent, concise and accessible
companion for writing academic journal papers, which is appropriate
for both students and working academics." Associate Professor Inger
Mewburn, Director of Research Training, The Australian National
University, Australia "Rowena Murray has approached publishing in a
journal with scientific rigour. Following this book's
recommendations will make it impossible to find a convincing excuse
for failure to publish. She herself writes with a high level of
artisanal skill; this book is fast paced, stylish and highly
readable. Her own extensive experience in supporting journal
article writers tempers this book with the credibility of a
seasoned veteran. Best of all, there is a wealth of wisdom here-in
advising on how to publish, Murray is also advising on how to live
a satisfying life as a writer." Associate Professor Susan Carter,
University of Auckland, New Zealand "In Writing for Academic
Journals (4th edition), Rowena Murray's voice is direct,
down-to-earth and wise. Drawing on a depth of practical experience
as both published author and writing teacher, she conveys the
message that, yes, publishing in academic journals is demanding,
but it's also very possible. And that once you are successful,
there is still much to be learned from reading books like this one
and hanging out with others in writing groups and workshops. To
that end, the book is a trove of tips and techniques helpful to all
who pursue the challenging craft of (good) academic writing."

Studies in Education at the University of Auckland, New Zealand,
