Getting Published in International Journals

Writing in English is different from writing in any European language. Getting Published in International Journals gives European social scientists the analytical, contextual, structural, and stylistic writing tools for competing with native speakers of English for limited space in international journals. The book reveals the unwritten rules of English academic rhetoric and discusses them within the context of the different and unconscious expectations accorded to both readers and writers within the English linguistic community.

Author Natalie Reid presents five major strategies for maximizing the academic writer’s chances of publication in the top journals in his or her field. These strategies help the writer to recognize and work with linguistic and organizational cues not readily apparent to the untrained eye. In great detail and with numerous examples, the book explains the importance of absolute clarity and Aristotelian argumentation in English academic writing, and gives its readers the grammatical and stylistic tricks of the trade for achieving their publication goals.

Natalie Reid has been teaching English writing skills in Europe, Japan, the Pacific, and the US for over 20 years. Since the early 2000s she has been teaching academic writing to, consulting with, and editing papers for European social scientists and other professionals.
