Publishing Educational Research: Guidelines and Tips
Building Your Manuscript
GETTING FEEDBACK FROM COLLEAGUES
●
●
●
●
After you have written your second draft (or third or fourth), ask
colleagues to review your work.
Be aware that a serious review of a 30-40 page
manuscript can take 4-6 hours, so don't be devastated if
a colleague turns you down.
Choose wisely. If possible, go to people who have had
publishing experience. It's also a good idea to hand your
manuscript to someone who is not as familiar with the
research to get a fresh perspective.
Ask for criticism, not praise. They should read it as a
journal reviewer and give you constructive suggestions
about how to improve the piece.
