Observations on the Journal Publication Process
نویسنده
چکیده
Young agricultural economists learn about publishing in a variety of ways, often by trial and error. McCloskey (p. 188) argues that, even though many veteran authors could help younger professionals with their writing, they rarely do. A widely available set of guidelines could help young authors improve their success rate and reduce wasted effort. The purpose of this paper is to meet this need by providing a brief guide to journal publication success. This paper represents a set of observations derived from the author’s own trials and errors as well as experiences related by others.
