'How To Fast-Track Your Academic Career: A Guide for Mid-Career Scholars lives up to its title as an in-depth career guide by professional scholars, for professional scholars. Chapters address how to build research groups and apply for funding, guiding PhD students and translating research into teaching, the nuances of writing articles for premier academic journals, how to get one's research cited, and much more. An index rounds out this thoughtful, in-depth, "must-have" for any college or university academic professional seeking to progress their career. Highly recommended.' -- James A Cox, Midwest Book Review 'How does one become a successful academician? The need to reconcile research, teaching, impact, and service imperatives is a relentless challenge. Equally, balancing professional development and personal lives and responsibilities is a necessary prerequisite to a long and fruitful career. This book, coauthored by a series of successful and internationally regarded academics, provides a very thoughtful exploration of these fundamental, yet challenging questions. The final chapter on societal value provides a holistic synthesis addressing the question of how one defines, identifies, and measures the value of one's research to business and wider society. I recommend this book to the doctoral student, tenure-tracker, and mid-career academician.'More details
