Communicate what you have learned with your audience and within the format. The purpose of publishing your research is to contribute to scholarly communication. You can do this by sharing new information and engaging with emerging debates.
Citations allow readers to find your sources and discuss how you used them. Separating your ideas from the works that you consulted is another goal of citing and a necessary step of preparing to share. Citation manuals outline standards for documenting sources and writing conventions. Visit our Citing LibGuide for more.
Peer Review is the process by which a panel of experts review research before publication. They look for potential sources of bias that provide reasonable doubt into the conclusions of a study. Reputable publishers are transparent about their acceptance process and review criteria. It is the standard for publication in academic research.
A panel of experts evaluate the paper for methodological errors to ensure quality. To reduce bias, the identity of the authors and/ or reviewers is kept anonymous. Manuscripts are accepted for publication as-is, with revisions needed, or rejected.
Some publishers will have an author services section on their websites. About sections sometimes identify the members of the editorial staff. An aims or mission statement clarifies the type of research that the journal aims to publish.
