Women in Scholarly Publishing explores the under-researched topic
of gender and scholarly publishing. Whilst often considered
separately, the relationship between gender and scholarly
publishing has been neglected. Bringing together experts across
Applied Linguistics, this book brings to the fore the challenges
and opportunities faced by female academics in both Anglophone and
non-Anglophone contexts as they participate in the production and
dissemination of knowledge. Contributors show how female
scholars’ production and dissemination of knowledge intersects
with gendered structures and disciplinary cultures in complex ways.
The key strands of work which this volume seeks to bring together
include: Essentialism in gender studies and alternative
perspectives on how gender should be viewed and studied in
knowledge production and dissemination; the specific ways in which
the labour and conditions surrounding scholarly publication are
gendered or perceived as gendered; the examination of discourses,
texts and genres from a gender perspective and the continuing
gendered and gendering impacts on career trajectories of women
academics. While women’s barriers are documented across
geopolities, the book also shows how norms, policies and practices
can be challenged and alternative futures imagined. The book will
be of interest to researchers, practitioners, institutional
decision makers, writing mentors, early-career scholars and
graduate students in a variety of fields.
The first introductory volume on English for Research Publication
Purposes (ERPP) making it essential reading for students and new
researchers. ERPP is a growing field, especially in Asia and this
book fills a gap for an introductory title on this topic. This book
is written by one of the leading researchers in the field of ERPP
which provides it with an authoritative voice.
This volume offers comprehensive examination of “predatory”
practices in scholarly publishing, and highlights emergent issues
around predatory journals, Open Access (OA), and scam conferences.
Chapters engage multiple methodologies, including corpus,
discourse, and genre analysis, as well as historical and
autoethnographic approaches to offer in-depth, empirical analyses
of the causes, practices, and implications of predatory practices
for scholars. Contributors span a broad range of disciplines and
geolocations, presenting a diverse range of perspectives. The
volume also outlines effective initiatives for the identification
of predatory practices and considers steps to increase
understanding of viable publishing options. Providing a needed
exploration of predatory research practices, this book will appeal
to scholars and researchers with interests in higher education,
publishing, and communication ethics.
This edited book addresses the complex topic of writing for
scholarly publication by early-career scholars. Drawing on
self-study and auto-ethnographic perspectives, a group of
international early-career researchers share their personal
histories, narratives and first-hand accounts of their scholarly
publication practices. The book helps paint a richer and more
nuanced picture of the experiences, success stories, failures, and
challenges that frame and shape academic trajectories of both
Anglophone and English as an additional language (EAL) scholars in
writing for publication. This book will be of particular interest
to scholars of Applied Linguistics, English for academic purposes
(EAP), and second language writing, but it will also be of use to
other early-career scholars embarking on their first attempts at
writing for publication.

This edited book focuses on the certifiers of scientific knowledge,
bringing together experts in a variety of areas in Applied
Linguistics to address the complex topic of editing and reviewing
in writing for scholarly publication. Drawing on insider
perspectives, the authors bring to the fore personal histories,
narratives and first-hand accounts of editors and reviewers and
help paint a richer and more nuanced picture of the discourses,
practices, experiences, success stories, failures, and challenges
that frame and shape trajectories of both Anglophone and English as
an additional language (EAL) scholars in adjudicating and
accrediting academic output. This book will be of interest to
researchers, practitioners, supervisors, writing mentors,
early-career scholars and graduate students in a variety of fields.
This book draws on the perspectives of authors, supervisors,
reviewers and editors to present a rich, nuanced picture of the
practices and challenges involved in writing for scholarly
publication. Organized into four sections, it brings together
international experts and junior scholars from a variety of
disciplines to examine both publishing experiences and current
research in the field. In doing so, it challenges the view that
Native English speakers have a relatively easy ride in this process
and that it is only English as an Additional Language (EAL)
scholars who experience difficulties. The volume highlights central
themes of writing for publication, including mentoring and
collaborative writing, the writing experience, text mediation, the
review process, journal practices and editorial decision-making,
and makes a strong case for taking a more inclusive approach to
research in this domain. This edited collection will appeal to
students and scholars of applied linguistics, English for academic
purposes, academic writing, and second language writing.
