Key points for publishing in top places

• Chapters in edited books are almost always by
  invitation of editors.
• Books are often by series editors invitations.
  Sometimes by sending a book proposal for this
  check what Routledge, Sage or Open University
  Press etc have on their websites about sending
  proposals, and write as much as possible as
  clearly as possible.

Key points for publishing in top places (cont)

• For international refereed journals check very
  carefully what is inside the front cover and back
  cover of the journal. Write your article so it is
  what this particular journal wants to publish.
• Look at the names of editors, board members and
  international consultants these will be your
  reviewers. Select some who are close to your own
  work and read what they have published. Put this
  into your reference list.
• Select two articles this particular journal has
  recently published and write your article in
  relation to these.
• Make sure you have many references to what is
  published since 2000.
