Today, publish or perish is hitting virtually all colleges and universities. As much as we may love to teach, without publishing we may not get a faculty position, not get tenure and promotions, and publishing often affects our salaries and ability to move to a new position. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to help you get your academic work published. Thus, anyone who is interested is getting ideas that will help them get published, and those who would like to help others publish, can benefit from this book.

"A gem of a book, filled with practical tips and lots and lots of ways to improve your publishing track record.
