The art of writing up a completed research project in a form suitable for submission to a professional journal is an ability separate from one's skills as a research methodologist, clinician, or administrator. It is also an ability that, despite its importance, is often overlooked by graduate research courses and senior-level mentors. This book is a guide to preparing research articles and it presents an insider's look to writing up studies and getting them published. It aims to unravel the mysteries and illuminate the pitfalls that students, as well as many established researchers, might otherwise stumble over. The book's advice on selecting an appropriate journal, handling rejections and revisions, understanding confusing concepts like impact factors and electronic publishing, and avoiding common methodological and formatting pitfalls constitute a gold mine of information for the fledgling research writer.Less

This chapter suggests that Hindi women’s periodicals are an example of how questions of representation and transformation were generated through a collective effort of publishing in the Hindi literary world of the early twentieth century. This book has demonstrated that literary tastes, styles, and the creative exploration of different literary genres were constitutive of the periodicals, notwithstanding limitations in literary scope, if compared with mainstream Hindi literary publications. The editors, readers, and writers of periodicals actively engaged with an expanding body of fictional writing by experimenting with what the women’s periodical as a genre had to offer. Moreover, they played an important role in community formation. With the advent of representations of women’s activism on the World Wide Web, new forms of dissemination into a virtual world have emerged. Of course such interaction poses a whole new set of questions concerning women’s social and political mobilization.Less

This chapter considers the various ways that money can interfere with scientific norms. Problems can occur when financial interests intrude into experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, publication, peer review, and other aspects of science that should be protected from financial, political, or other biases. When this happens, financial interests affect the process of scientific research, and they can undermine objectivity, openness, honesty, and other research norms. Although it is impossible to prevent money from having any impact on research, society should take some steps to prevent financial interests from undermining scientific norms, such as developing policies for journals, granting agencies, and research institutions; educating students and scientists about potential problems and issues; and monitoring of research.Less

This chapter examines some of the ethical problems that can arise when the pursuit of profit and prestige affect scientific publication, including bias, duplicate publication, salami science, problems with access to data and materials, and undeserved authorship. To address these concerns, scientific journals, research institutions, professional associations, and funding agencies should develop policies and guidelines for scientific publication. Granting agencies should continue their support for research, education, and policy development pertaining to ethics and integrity in scientific publication. Universities, colleges, and government and private laboratories should sponsor educational and training programs that address the ethics of scientific publication.Less

As the first of three chapters on the “ontologies” of Jewish music — music’s aesthetic, cultural, and musical identities and capacity to exist in the world of modern Jewish society — this chapter includes a series of case studies that illustrate moments when Jewish music is identified as such. Invention refers to the ways in which imagining Jewish music undergoes a change to practicing and performing it. The music of the urban synagogue, therefore, passes from oral tradition to the hands of professionals in the nineteenth century, the Jewish cantors whose lives and publications the chapter details. Folk music attracts the attention of Jewish scholars, who ascribe specific attributes and categories to the music they collect in villages and publish in the cities of Europe. Above all, terms such as “Jewish music” acquire new currency by the end of the nineteenth century, inventing Jewish music for modern Jews as if that music had existed since time immemorial.Less

This chapter reviews the early works of William Thomson. Thomson began to publish exceptionally early, in 1841, while still in his late teens; and a steady stream of papers came from him thereafter. Most of them in the 1840s concerned heat diffusion, electricity, or magnetism, and related mathematical methods such as the Fourier series and potential theory. These papers manifest a procedure of working by analogy in which methods were taken from one topic and adapted for use in another one.Less

This chapter discusses the ways in which a literary criticism for Ancient Egypt can be embedded in the contemporary practice of literature. This is distinguished from a criticism rooted in visions of literature as an autonomous artefact of culture. It examines evidence for the practitioners of literature and their audience, modes and occasions of reading, degrees of formal structure (including use of metre), genre, and the nature of publication, to argue that oral and written literature were not separate categories, either of practice or cultural evolution. It is emphasised that criticism of Egyptian literature needs to focus on the manner of its recitation against its survival as a written artefact, and that genres of ritual and rhetoric overlap in form and performance with those of narrative, lyric, and instruction.Less

This introductory chapter discusses the generation and transformation of expert knowledge and practices in connection with the phenomenon of Alzheimer disease (AD) in an era of increasing uncertainties and recognition of apparently boundless complexity. Emphasis is given to the way in which debates in the Alzheimer world are played out in research and clinical settings, in medical and media publications, at major conferences, and in talks for public consumption, and with what potential effects on the millions of healthy people who will be systematically monitored if and when an era of prevention becomes routinized. Also included are excerpts from extensive interviews with individuals who have undergone testing in research settings, including genetic testing.Less

This chapter concerns the concept of ‘remoteness’ in early Mesoamerican archaeology as a factor in site preservation. Throughout the nineteenth century, Maya sites were academically and popularly conceived of as beyond ‘preservation’ in any realistic sense. However, the late nineteenth-century emergence of archaeology as a science and the growth of North American academic interest in Central America forced a situation where ‘preservation’ was incorporated into professional archaeological identity. Using the Guatemalan site of Holmul as a case study, the chapter presents publication as a form of preservation for logistically challenging archaeological sites in the early twentieth century. Publication is conceived of as an obligatory process that not only produced a textual ‘preserved site’, but served as an homage to advances in the development of North American-style archaeology as a scientific enquiry.Less

This chapter argues against the normal view that Odes 1-3 had their first publication together in 23 BC and should be read as a single entity. Book 1, and then Book 2, were first published separately: so it is contended on the basis of detailed consideration of metre, chronology, etc. Approaching the three books as successive and deliberately differing entities produces a much more satisfying and distinctive understanding of the individual books, and the cumulative entity which they build up. The differences between the three books are presented under headings; Book 3 in a sense conjoins Books 1 and 2, to create conflicts of its own.Less

This chapter discusses the politics and sociology underlying the translation of Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the “Spirit” of Capitalism (PESC). Published in 1930 with Talcott Parsons as the translator, PESC was described as sociology's “most famous” work. The story of the first translation and publication of PESC is a complicated episode as far as Weber translations are concerned. The chapter first traces the origins of Parsons's effort to translate Weber's work to the time he was a student at the University of Heidelberg in the 1920s before discussing the questions raised for the translation, including publication rights. It shows that Parsons's reading captured accurately the overarching terminology of rationalism, rationality, and rationalization that was central to Weber's account of asceticism and the capitalist “spirit.”Less

Proper management of research conduct is essential to achieving reliable results and maintaining the quality, objectivity, and integrity of research data. The different steps of research should be monitored carefully, and research designs should include built-in safeguards to ensure the quality and integrity of research data. This chapter addresses ethical conduct in different steps of the research process: hypothesis formation, research design, literature review, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, publication, and data storage. This chapter also discusses methods that can help assure the quality, objectivity, and integrity of research data, such as good research practices (GRPs), standard operating procedures (SOPs), peer review, and data audit.Less
