have recommended this text to students and staff. An excellent first step to equip them with the knowledge and confidence to start publishing, very straight forward.

This book will be of interest to some of the stronger students who are perhaps considering progressing to postgraduate study, and who have completed dissertation research with the potential to be published and/or developed further.

This book follows on nicely from the previous - how to develop a research proposal and those who liked the previous approach will also find this a useful read

A interesting book with clear information on how to write and publish a journal article. Full of useful hints and tips for early writers!

Whist the book was extremely useful to me personally, this would only be relevant to a small number of students on the MSc course, hence the supplemental adoption rather than recommended.

Mrs Nina Quinlan

Highly informative for all who wish to have an article published in a journal. It gives hints and tips around the complex systematic process to save you time and energy achieving your aim
