Practical publishing guidelines for researchers

Abstract

Writing for publishing is now a fiercely competitive business. The writing world is full of hopeful authors who never see a word of their manuscripts in print, because usually their manuscripts do not meet the standard required by publishers. The author, therefore, aims to provide the basic guidelines and techniques that potential authors need to help them get their works published. The book defines various terminologies associated with publishing. It also attempts to explain the various types of publications, academic and non-academic, and their features. More importantly, the step-by-step practical guidelines for publishing a book or a journal article are explained. Finally, the book enumerates the directories of publishers and journals published in Ghana that are useful for researchers or potential authors.
