Abstract

Across all disciplinary areas, doing research and then publishing it is often surrounded by mystique and mystery. Publishing is often regarded as a ‘black box’ where there appears to be much uncertainty and confusion about how to proceed. Consequently, new researchers often wonder how the publishing process actually works while even very experienced researchers find their work also gets rejected from international journals. In both cases, we find many scholars begin to doubt their ability and argue that it is simply ‘too hard’. In this presentation, the author seeks to reveal some of the ‘black box’ elements in publishing including the processes and practices. Importantly, some of the politics of the publishing game are also highlighted. The purpose is to provide additional tools for scholars to develop and succeed in their publication strategies.
