<strong>Publishing</strong> <strong>Educational</strong> <strong>Research</strong>: <strong>Guidelines</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Tips</strong><br />
Building Your Manuscript<br />
THE FIRST DRAFT<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Ask yourself, "What's my goal" Do you want to disprove a<br />
theory Do you want to reveal hidden assumptions in a popular<br />
theory or practice Is your research based on innovative ideas<br />
that can be used in the field Make sure that your answer to this<br />
question (What is my goal) is clear to you at all times. You may<br />
even want to write out your goal <strong>and</strong> hang it in a prominent space<br />
by your work station to remind you to stay focused <strong>and</strong> on task.<br />
Next, ask yourself, "What steps are necessary to reach that<br />
goal" Consider charting these steps out. The newer you are to<br />
the process of writing for publication, the more specific you<br />
should be.<br />
Estimate the time you will need for each step listed<br />
above, <strong>and</strong> then multiply that amount of time by 3-4. For<br />
example, if you estimate that it will take you one week to<br />
write a section of your piece, multiply that amount to be<br />
more realistic: one week really equals 3-4 weeks,<br />
depending on your experience <strong>and</strong> whether or not you<br />
are collaborating with others.<br />

As you write your first draft, carry around a small<br />
notebook to jot down ideas as they occur. Often, we will<br />
think of "just the right thing to say" for our article, but not<br />
when we are actually sitting at our work station!<br />
●<br />
As you write your first draft(s), also write short abstracts of the<br />
articles you will be referencing. This is much more manageable<br />
than having dozens of articles lying all over the place.<br />
