How should I go about getting academic journals published?
Q. Completed a Social Work degree and interested in publishing some pieces of research I did along the way... Also looking to continue research in a variety of fields and I know it's very important to keep getting citations to advance an academic career. Can anyone offer any tips on getting academic journals to publish my articles, particularly in the field of Social Policy / Social Work?

A. You need to go to the reference part of the library or social sciences part of a university library. Read the magazines there on various topics associated with your subject. The magazines themselves, usually state whether they accept unsolicited work- i.e that without an agent. This is where you will find the specialist academic journals too. Get some ideas from the writers and artists yearbook about submitting articles. Any bookseller will get it for you. Also, if you could do an ma or phd on your subject, then getting in the publishing world is easier as your thesis at that level, will itself be considered a publication of sorts, as they tend to print and bind them and put them in the uni library.

WHere can I find academic journals about the history of illegal immigration?
Q. Pretty much statistics from the past. In the 1950s or 1920s or whenever before 2000s. I just want academic journals and like where they talk about motives and reasons. Ones after 2000s are easier to find but I need a buildup to the current wave of illegal immigration, so I need to find statistics of illegal immigration from the past.

Academic journals on the nature vs nurture debate in regards to obesity?
Q. I'm writing a position paper on the nature and nurture debate in regards to OBESITY. The academic journals need to be: -Reputable -CURRENT (2000 is the oldest date i can use) -cannot be from a "specialist-organization" like the heart and stroke foundation This is actually for a high school position paper. :) My high school has databases like EBSCO, but they are of no help.

A. If you are at a University your university library probably grants you access to databases like Jstor.org and ERIC. Check there. If you do not have access through a university library it is generally much more difficult, but some public libraries may have limited access. If you know the name of the journal you want, you can also try searching for the journal itself and you may be able to see certain articles.

Academic journals: What's the difference between a "peer-edited" and a "peer-reviewed" journal?
Q. Hi there, Does publications in a "peer-edited" journal make you entitled to a scholarship for a PhD program? Or only publications in refereed journals count? Thanking you in advance.
Asked by Anna - Thu Apr 12 21:44:31 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There is no publication that "entitles" any student to a scholarship, fellowship, or assistantship, or even admission to a PhD program. However, publications can help a student to present themselves as a strong candidate for both admissions and awards. Peer-edited journals have a board of scholars that act as editors, and select articles for publication. Peer-reviewed (or "refereed") journals regularly send out all articles they receive to other scholars for review, soliciting their editorial opinions as to whether the article should be accepted for publication, revised and then resubmitted, or rejected. It is much better to have an article in a peer-reviewed journal, but it is good to have any publication.

A. If you are an undergraduate student your papers are probably not eligible on their own. Usually you have to assist a professor with their research and you get a listing as an 'author' (way at the end of the line - it goes: principle researcher, other Phds, graduate students that assisted, undergrads that assisted). If you are a graduate student, I am surprised you do not know this information. In this case you assist a professor with their research and get a listing on it.

A. Good journals are "peer reviewed" that means that other scientists look at articles to see if the science they describe is correct and if their experiments are repeatable. More famous journals aren't necessarily more correct, there fame just allows them to attract the most interesting articles (eg. a lot of medical scientists want their work published in "The Lancet" so they have a lot to choose from to see what goes in).

A. Hallett and Davis (as mentioned by Rio) also have a book called "Firing the Heather" which is a biography of McClung. You might also try the "Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature," which has short overviews of Canadian writers and provides excellent reference material. The academic journal, "Essays in Canadian Writing" would also be useful. I would also go out of the literary realm and check out journals in Canadian women's history as McClung's political involvement leaves more of a legacy than does her fiction.
