The art of writing up a completed research project in a format
suitable for submission to a social work journal is an ability
separate from one's skills as a research methodologist. It is also
an ability that, despite its importance, is often overlooked by
research courses and senior-level mentors. This straightforward
pocket guide to Preparing Research Articles steps into the void as
an insider's guide to getting published.
Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience editing a social work
research journal, Bruce A. Thyer has crafted a candid companion to
the journal publishing process, unraveling the mysteries that
students - as well as many established researchers - might
otherwise stumble over, and as a result their prospectus for future
success improve. Thyer's frank advice on selecting an appropriate
journal, handling rejections and revisions, understanding confusing
concepts like impact factors and electronic publishing, and
avoiding common methodological and formatting pitfalls, constitute
a gold mine for the fledging researcher-writer.
