Strategies for a Successful Scholarly Article
Although your research might be groundbreaking and your writing style clear and professional, there is no guarantee that your academic or scientific paper will be published in a scholarly journal or used and cited by its readers. Indeed, given the enormous number of articles now published by reputable journals and the vast amount of information available online, competition for publication, readers and citations is stiffer than ever. There are effective approaches, however, for giving your paper the best possible chances of success, and the resources below outline several useful strategies.
First and foremost is to ensure that your research paper represents a minimum publishable unit. The journal to which you are submitting your writing may or may not provide advice on this matter, but, as this post points out, most scholarly journals will expect a research article to contain original research, results that are significant and a meaningful argument. As the basic building blocks of a minimum publishable unit, these should be kept in mind when planning a successful article.
It is also wise to present the methods and results of your research and to write about your understanding of its meanings and implications in ways that will make your scholarly paper especially citable. This resource focuses on scientific articles, but the principles apply to other scholarly writing as well and include achieving a clear and concise style that is accessible, engaging and memorable. Avoiding errors, ambiguities, inconsistencies, illogic and other confusing problems is also recommended.
Today’s publication and reading trends mean that scholarly articles tend to be slimmer and more trimmed down than journal papers often were in the past. This post provides practical advice on slimming and trimming your academic or scientific article for successful publication. Discovering the journal’s requirements and expectations and using them as you design an accessible structure for your document, a streamlined argument and effective visual aids will produce an appropriately fit manuscript.
Once your scholarly article has been successfully published, you may want to promote it in a number of ways. An excellent means of generating readers’ interest in a new academic or scientific publication is to write a blog post about it on a suitable site. Blogging about an article will take less time than writing the article itself did, and this resource is packed with valuable and detailed advice about exactly how to proceed.
