his is the second edition of How to Get Research Published in Journals, first
written in 1995 and published in 1996. In Chapter 1, I outline some of
the important developments I have noticed during the past 12 years or so.
When I first wrote this book I was a professional editor and publishing
consultant. In 1999 I decided to move into academe full time, returning
as a ‘mature’ student to university where I took an MA and then a PhD in
Religious Studies at Lancaster University in the UK, focusing on the sociology
of religion. At the time of writing I am engaged in postdoctoral research as an
ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Anthropology Department at the University
of Sussex.
During this phase in my career I have also become closely associated with
the British Sociological Association where I am a Trustee with special
responsibilities for publications, working closely with Sage Publishing. I have
therefore had new opportunities more recently to consider publications from
a new discipline, in new networks and with new technologies. I was therefore
delighted to be given the opportunity to review this first edition and expand
and update key sections.
I also benefited from reading the many reviews this book has received in the
past 10 years. Most were gratifyingly positive and where there was criticism I
have tried to take the comments constructively into this new edition – apart
from one which referred to my somewhat relentlessly breezy, cheery tone.
For that I make no apologies: I have facilitated too many workshops with
nervous and fearful novice writers to make any changes to what I hope is an
enthusiastic and encouraging ‘voice’.
The first chapter is new material devoted to exploring some of the changes in
the publishing environment which have taken place during the past decade
or so. The final chapter is also new, focusing on how authors can become
more involved in the publishing process in general, from book reviewing to
editing. In between, the remaining 12 chapters have been updated with new
