The advantage of this book compared to many others on this topic, is that on the one hand, it is very concise, simple, and in plain language; on the other hand, it covers all the stages of writing and publishing an article

Maybe the strongest accolade I can give this book is that it has now become one of the core texts for the SRA’s training courses on writing research reports and publishing research... Publishing Journal Articles... holds your hand, provides practical guidance and does it with a good sense of empathy... In summary, it's well worth a read if you are new to this area.

SRA: Reviews
'Publishing Journal Articles by Lucinda Becker and Pam Denicolo is short, accessible, and useful contributions that will help readers overcome some of their own foibles. Full of suggestions, advice, tips and techniques, this short book presents writing as a series of choices to be considered. Throughout, it offers reflections based on the author’s impressive and varied experience. As part of the Success in Research series, this effort seeks to assist researchers to better organize, present, and manage their writing careers. It largely succeeds. [...]This will be a useful introduction for some and an invaluable guide for many others. The authors should be commended for finding ways to offer general tips that transcend disciplinary boundaries'
The unit I offer is for a professional doctorate (EdD), and I emphasise that mid-career professionals pursuing a doctorate need to keep publication in view at all times throughout (and beyond) their doctoral studies. This book will prove useful for the more advanced students who are really poised to begin thinking seriously about publication and submitting. It's not as useful for the core of students I have who need help honing their skills in critical reading and writing. I have shown the book to several colleagues, who have ordered it for themselves.
this really is good - particularly for students who will be undertaking PhDs
Great for students who want to go further with their master thesis and find their way into publishing
Not appropriate for student level presently; will re-examine again in the future
Excellent. Will try to get book adapoted for whilst it focueses on journals it is also useful as a guide to student research planning in general.
This is a great book for new post graduate students who may be considering translating some of their research into journal articles. It offers step-by-step guidance in an easy, quick style.
A useful guide for new teachers in terms of publishing research carried out during and post their completion of the module
A very easily read volume, provides great tips all along the way from deciding your topic to dealing with rejection. The Exercises throughout the chapters are valuable for being specific to your own topic. As a guide on writing, it is really useful, with practical hints that early careers will find helpful.
