An insider’s guide to getting published in research journals Marcin Dembowski Eastern Europe Business Manager Tel: +44 (0)

Aims of the session To ‘demystify’ the publishing process To provide tips, insider knowledge and key questions to maximize your chances of publication To encourage some of you to go beyond publishing, e.g. reviewing, book reviewing, editorial roles Q&A session: ask anything! Follow-up: I’m always available to help To get you sharing your knowledge, i.e. to get you writing

Emerald Group Publishing – company background Emerald Group Publishing Limited (formerly MCB University Press) Founded in 1967 in Bradford, West Yorkshire Over 250 employees. Offices in China, India, Malaysia, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Dubai, USA 200+ journals, 241 book series and 300 stand- alone texts Electronic databases: Emerald Management eJournals and Emerald Management First Over 1,600 university library subscribers, including 98 of the FT top 100 business schools Potential readership of 15 million

Emerald’s publishing philosophy We believe that good management can – must – make a better world We believe in inclusivity, internationality, innovation and independence A better-managed world means better government, better business, more equality, meritocracy of race, age and gender, more employment, more wealth Supportive of scholarly research Committed to improving author, reader and customer experience ‘Research you can use’

What do we mean by research you can use? Research that has an impact

Ideas: where to start As well as ‘traditional’ research… Are you working on a Doctoral or Master’s thesis? Have you completed a project which concluded successfully? Are you wrestling with a problem with no clear solution? Do you have an opinion or observation on a subject? Have you given a presentation or conference paper? If so, you have the basis for a publishable paper

Co-authorship as a possibility With supervisor, across departments, someone from a different institution Demonstrates the authority and rigour of the research Especially useful for cross-disciplinary research Ensure paper is checked and edited so that it reads as one voice Exploit your individual strengths Agree and clarify order of appearance of authors and the person taking on the role of corresponding author

What makes a good paper? HINT: Editors and reviewers look for … Originality – what’s new about subject, treatment or results? Relevance to and extension of existing knowledge Research methodology – are conclusions valid and objective? Clarity, structure and quality of writing – does it communicate well? Sound, logical progression of argument Theoretical and practical implications (the ‘so what?’ factors!) Recency and relevance of references Internationality/Global focus Adherence to the editorial scope and objectives of the journal A good title, keywords and a well written abstract

What should YOU be looking for ISI is the most well known ranking, but others exist e.g. Citations are a good, but not complete, guide to quality (e.g. AACSB’s 2008 ‘Impact of Research’ paper ) Usage is a better measure of utility Other factors to consider are recent articles, most communicative, societies and internationality Be political (e.g. national vs international) and strategic (e.g. five articles in ‘low ranked’ journals vs one in ‘top ranked’ journal) What rankings are used here?

Target! “Many papers are rejected simply because they don’t fulfil journal requirements. They don’t even go into the review process.” Identify a few possible target journals/series but be realistic Follow the Author Guidelines – scope, type of paper, word length, references style, etc Find where to send your paper (editor, regional editor, subject area editor). Check a copy of the journal/series or the publisher’s web site Send an outline or abstract and ask if this looks suitable and interesting (or how it could be made so) Confirm how an editor would like a submission, e.g. ; hard copy or online submission system Read at least one issue of the publication – visit your library for access

Example of author guidelines Every journal published will have detailed notes and guidelines

How to sell your paper Use a short descriptive title containing main keyword – don’t mislead Write a clear and descriptive abstract containing the main keywords and following any instructions as to content and length Provide relevant and known keywords – not obscure new jargon Make your references complete and correct – vital for reference linking and citation indices All of this will make your paper more discoverable which means more dissemination and possibly more citation

Emerald has introduced structured abstracts A structured abstract – in 250 words or less (no more than 100 in any one section) Purpose – Reasons/aims of paper Design – Methodology/’how it was done’/scope of study Findings – Discussion/results Research limitations/Implications (if applicable) – Exclusions/next steps Practical implications (if applicable) – Applications to practice/’So what?’ [NEW] Social implications (if applicable) – Impact on society/policy Originality/value – Who would benefit from this and what is new about it?

Before you submit your article: your own peer review Let someone else see it – show a draft to one or more friends or colleagues and ask for their comments, advice and honest criticism We are always too close to our own work to see its failings Always proof-check thoroughly – no incorrect spellings, no incomplete references. Spell checkers are not fool-proof Spot the error: Leads Metropolitan University

Research Editorial supply chain and journal management structure: journals AuthorEditor Publisher/ Managing Editor ProductionUsers Quality research papers EAB and reviewers Solicits new papers Handles review process Promotes journal to peers Attends conferences Develops new areas of coverage The link between the publishing company and editor Helps editors succeed in their role and build a first class journal Overall responsibility for journal Promotion and marketing Attends conferences Handles production issues QA – sub-editing and proof reading Convert to SGML for online databases Print production Despatch Added value from publisher Access via library Hard copy Database Third party

Once you have submitted your article A request for revision is good news! It really is You are now in the publishing cycle. Nearly every published paper is revised at least once Don’t panic! Even if the comments are sharp or discouraging, they aren’t personal

Process of acceptance for a journal – just one example

How to revise your paper Acknowledge the editor and set a revision deadline Clarify understanding if in doubt – ‘This is what I understand the comments to mean…’ Consult with colleagues or co-authors and tend to the points as requested Meet the revision deadline Attach a covering letter which identifies, point by point, how revision requests have been met (or if not, why not)

If your paper is rejected … Ask why, and listen carefully! Most editors will give detailed comments about a rejected paper. Take a deep breath, and listen to what is being said Try again! Try to improve the paper, and re-submit elsewhere. Do your homework and target your paper as closely as possible Don’t give up! At least 50% of papers in business and management don’t get published. Everybody has been rejected at least once Keep trying!

How to promote your work Why? Influence policy = credibility; Raise profile of institution and discipline area; Attract collaborators and funding; New areas and opportunities for you (consulting, media) How? Use your network, press releases, associations/societies, engage, hone your media skills, ‘brand image’ See Support and services for authors and Editors on the USB stick for more info
