An Art of Publishing in Business and Economics Journals
Abu N. M. Wahid
I became the editor of the Journal of Developing Areas in 2001. Since then, in connection with
this, I have been interacting with authors, reviewers, other journal editors, and publishing
companies on a regular basis. In this process, I accumulated some interesting experiences
about research and publication. Based on this, and on some additional research about
publishing in refereed international journals in the areas of business and economics, I prepared
this presentation. Doing research and writing papers is a science, but publishing in good and
appropriate journals is largely an art. In this presentation, I will talk about different aspects of
this art.
