TLDR
This book discusses pedagogies for a PhD by publication, including mentoring of Doctoral Students toward Publication within Scholarly Communities of Practices, and the pedagogie of editing a 'special issue' of a journal issue.Abstract:
Despite the development of, and arguments for, alternative genres of open
access and devolved publication (Smith, 1999; Willinsky, 2006), writing for
commercially produced scholarly journals continues to be significant. In
Britain, for example, academic ‘output’ in the social sciences is measured
and judged, in the national Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), largely
on the basis of single-authored books (the scholarly monograph) and peerrefereed journal articles. The current proposal to change the RAE process to
focus more strongly on citations makes the work of publishing in high-status
and publicly indexed journals not simply a necessity, but a high-pressure
imperative.read more
