Summary

The art of writing up a completed research project in a format suitablefor submission to a social work journal is an ability separate from one's skillsas a research methodologist. It is also an ability that, despite itsimportance, is often overlooked by research courses and senior-level mentors.This straightforward pocket guide to Preparing Research Articles steps into thevoid as an insider's guide to getting published. Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience editing a social work researchjournal, Bruce A. Thyer has crafted a candid companion to the journal publishingprocess, unraveling the mysteries that students - as well as many establishedresearchers - might otherwise stumble over, and as a result their prospectus forfuture success improve. Thyer's frank advice on selecting an appropriatejournal, handling rejections and revisions, understanding confusing conceptslike impact factors and electronic publishing, and avoiding commonmethodological and formatting pitfalls, constitute a gold mine for the fledgingresearcher-writer.
