Writing for Publication
Description
This book focuses on academic writing and how academics who are experts in their fields can translate their expertise into publishable form. The magnitude and speed of the changes that are transforming the global academic landscape produce an ongoing need for literature that interprets the nature of academic work. This book arises from the background discipline of Education, which is a relatively new university subject that draws on the entire knowledge spectrum from the fine arts to the natural sciences. Each chapter addresses an aspect of the conditions of written academic labour in an age of digital publishing: its nature, how it works, and guidance for successful navigation. This book will provide helpful guidance to graduate students, researchers and teachers in universities and higher education, who are united by the challenges of this new world of academic publishing.

"The volume also offers commentaries on approaches to scholarly writing. . The chapters illuminate productive ways forward for readers committed to considering their power and their places . within the broader scholarly ecosystem. By offering pathways of empowerment and of resistance, as well, the chapters reward readers outside New Zealand or Australasia with a sense of progressivism that repositions the antipodes as an intellectual centre, at least as far as writing for scholarly publication is concerned." (Steven E. Gump, Journal of Scholarly Publishing, Vol. 53 (4), October, 2022)
"The book holds its own as a surprisingly engaging read which gives you a real insight into the reality of academic writing and publishing. On another level, the book itself stands as a model for academic writing in the twenty-frst century and how to navigate the pressures placed on researchers." (Taylor Alexander Hughson, New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, Vol. 56, 2021)More details
