Getting Published! Exploring strategies, myths and barriers of academic publi...Prof Simon Haslett
Publications are an important aspect of the work of an academic; remaining the principal vehicle through which research is reported, opinions aired, reviews undertaken, and knowledge transferred, and writing is also a useful learning exercise. For many, it also underpins teaching and curricula, means greater success in research grant applications, and a good publication track record is still seen by many institutions as a key recruitment and promotion criteria. Yet traditionally how to get your work published has not been taught, but learnt through trial and error, mainly from rejection by journal editors. This seminar is aimed at inexperienced academic authors and explores and discusses the issues surrounding the strategy and publication of academic work, and addresses some of the myths and barriers that might discourage would-be authors after the research and writing process is complete.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. We plan to look at
• Introduction to the Journal of Information Literacy
• Where and what to publish
• The peer review process
• How your paper will be assessed
• The publication process
• Writing tips
3. Scope
JIL is an international, peer- reviewed journal that aims to
investigate information literacy in all its forms to address
the interests of diverse IL communities of practice. To
this end it publishes articles from both established and
new authors in this field.
JIL welcomes contributions that push the boundaries of IL
beyond the educational setting and examine this
phenomenon as a continuum between those involved in
its development and delivery and those benefiting from
its provision.
4. 2007 onwards
Two issues a year (June, December)
Open access journal

6. Writing for a journal
• Read the author guidelines!
• Is your topic within scope of the journal?
• JIL focuses on information literacy NOT library
skills, libraries or teaching in general
• Peer-reviewed article or shorter project report?
• Read previously published articles in JIL
7. Articles for peer review:
• Need to be original – are you just telling a familiar story?
• Refer to the literature and place the work within a wider
context
• Evidence any claims made
• Follow academic convention in structure of the paper
• Have been carefully proof-read before
submission, especially if English is not your first language
• Are anonymised for peer review
9. • Relevance to JIL – within our scope?
• Originality and interest to our audience – useful
contribution to knowledge or good practice?
• Title and abstract – appropriate wording and length and
informative?
• Methodology – appropriate?
• Use of literature and referencing – good analysis of
literature? Good referencing or signs of plagiarism?
• Clarity of expression and structure – clear exposition of
argument? Logical structure? Spell out acronyms, avoid
jargon!
JIL reviewers’ criteria
10. Accept for publication without amendment (almost
never!)
Revisions required
Major revisions required followed by peer review
Resubmit elsewhere
Decline submission
Peer reviewers recommend:
11. Make a list of all the actions needed of you. Can you address
them? If so, how?
If you can’t, discuss this with the editors –say why
Revise the paper and resubmit it, with a covering letter
detailing how you have addressed each comment
If there were comments you didn’t implement, because you
couldn’t or because you disagreed with them, note them and
say why (you may want to discuss with us earlier in revision
process)
Remember that addressing these comments may unearth
other suggested changes – several rounds of revisions may be
required
What to do with reviewer
comments
12. Once accepted, the paper is
passed to copyediting
JIL copyeditors

13. Our copyeditors’ advice
Use the required template
In JIL, this also means
Use Arial 11pt for body text (if using the template, this should be
default)
Number all section headings using the multilevel list option
Format headings as per the style sheet
Format your references using the journal’s required
style
For JIL that means the Harvard style as used by Cardiff University
Remember to convert your EndNote references to text
Ensure all in-text citations are given a full reference at
the end, and that all references are cited in the text
14. Define all acronyms and abbreviations at first use
Ensure all diagrams and images are copyright free and
acknowledge their source
And specifically for JIL:
Use British spellings
Avoid footnotes – either incorporate information into the text
or list non-cited information and websites under Resources and
cited sources under References
List author name, affiliation and email address for each
author, in the order given in the metadata, on the article loaded
for copyediting
Our copyeditors’ advice [2]
15. Once it is published
Celebrate!
Let everyone know
Link using the DOI
Add it to your
repository, acknowledgi
ng first published in JIL
16. Tips for aspiring authors
• Keep focused. Pin your central hypothesis or question by
your desk and make sure that everything you write is
directed towards supporting and answering that question
• Don’t worry about starting in the middle! Write up the
section which comes most naturally and work out from
there
• Practise (and reflect on) what you teach - finding the key
research, synthesising the literature, citing and referencing
17. Tips for aspiring authors [2]
• Find your place and space to think and write
• Break it down…. it’s like how you eat an elephant
• Present your ideas early and let them grow
• Writing is an iterative process, draft, redraft, draft again
• Find a good proof reader – a colleague, friend, family
member, but always get someone else to read it through!
• Become a peer reviewer, or a book reviews writer, but learn
to read critically to help you write critically
