Writing for SSCI Journals
Writing for SSCI Journals
From writing technique to managing the process
How to publish in internationally indexed journals — from writing technique to managing the submission process.
A good study can still be rejected because the article around it was badly constructed. This course passes on the process experience of a team that has published more than 135 SCI/SSCI articles: from choosing the journal to writing the response to reviewers.
Course Content
- Choosing the right journal: scope, quartile, average time to publication
- Recognising and avoiding predatory journals
- Writing the title and abstract
- Constructing the introduction: how to demonstrate the gap in the literature
- Transparency and reproducibility in the method section
- Presenting results: designing tables and figures
- The discussion: positioning your finding without overstating it
- Using the limitations section to your advantage
- Writing an effective cover letter
- Preparing a response to reviewers and strategy after a rejection
- Publication ethics: authorship, plagiarism, data sharing
