Description
Summary:This paper acknowledges that writing and publishing is or should be an integral part of the life of any academic. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to assist junior academics to get their manuscripts published in refereed journals. The paper attempts to demystify academic publishing by explaining the responsibilities of the editor, the peer review process and the decisions made by the editor on the manuscript. While the ideas proffered in this paper mainly relate to The DYKE: A journal of the Midlands State University, they can also apply to most journals.
