How to get
Published
A Guide to Publishing your Journal Article
Choose your Journal
If in Doubt – Ask
One of the most common mistakes authors
make is to submit to a journal that is not
relevant to their paper. Do some research
when your article is finished, visit the journals’
web pages, read their aims and scopes and
make sure that you are placing your article in
the most relevant journal. This way it is more
likely to be accepted and read by fellow
researchers in the area.
Most journal editors are happy to receive
inquiries from potential authors and give advice
about article submission. Perhaps send them
your abstract for initial feedback before
submitting.
Write Something New
Journal editors are looking for papers that
have something relevant to contribute to the
conversation, so make sure your paper is
saying something new and saying it clearly.
Check you Have Everything
If you have figures, check they are all referred
to in the text of your paper. Very importantly,
make sure that you have the correct copyright
clearance for any material in your paper that is
already copyright to a third party, e.g. images.
One Last Check
Finally, ask colleagues to read your paper prior
to submission, and check how the editor
requires you to submit it.
Present your Paper
Participating in disciplinary conventions can be
a great way to get feedback on your paper so
that you can make improvements before
submitting. Also, journal editors are often
present, so arrange to meet with them.
Take Criticism on Board
It can be difficult to receive criticism from your
peers but if you can use this critique to revise
your paper and make improvements, you
stand a much better chance of being accepted
by the journal. If not, it could help you to
submit it somewhere else.
And Finally – Good Luck!

How to
Get Your
Research
Read
Complete your Masterpiece
Nowadays almost all journal content is read
online and discovered via search engines.
There are some basics everyone should get
right in order to optimize readership:
• Publish a straightforward paper on cuttingedge research
• Choose an effective title, or add a subtitle if
clarification is needed
• Make sure that relevant terms are included
in the abstract
• Choose keywords carefully to maximize
search returns
Use social networking tools to draw people’s
attention. Try tailoring your message to the
medium – e.g. tweet informally about your
article.
Utilize social bookmarking to share your article
with other people. Journal articles can be
included in a range of bookmarking services
from the article page.
Networks
Why not contact the people you are
referencing in your article to let them know
you’ve cited them? It can help extend your
network and they may cite you in return!
Distribute your Work
Talk to the Publisher
Let your colleagues know. Our authors receive
50 electronic offprints of their article.
Add the URL or DOI (Digital Object Identifier) of
your article to your email footer/signature.
If your article is ‘hot’ or newsworthy, let us at
Routledge, Taylor & Francis know! We’ll be
able to publicize your work through our own
networks such as:
Put a pre-print of your article in your
institutional or subject repository.
• Table of Contents Alerts
• Subject Newsletters
Add your article, or the journal, to your
students’ reading lists as essential reading.
• Press Releases
Publicize yourself
Feature a link to your article from your staff
profile page or your personal webpage.
Post a short message to any discussion lists
you are a member of, letting people know your
article is now available. Sign up to the table of
contents alert for the journal
(www.informaworld.com/alerting) so you
don’t miss when it’s published.
Discuss the promotion of your article with the
journal editor and they will contact the
publisher.
The more people who read your work, the
more likely it is that you will be cited. You can
find further help to promote your work via our
Author Services website.
