<strong>Publishing</strong> <strong>Educational</strong> <strong>Research</strong>: <strong>Guidelines</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Tips</strong><br />

Building Your Manuscript<br />

THE SECOND DRAFT<br />

●<br />

●<br />

●<br />

●<br />

Make this draft as complete as possible. Focus first on content,<br />

<strong>and</strong> then edit for style <strong>and</strong> length. Be succinct; there is a premium<br />

on space in journals! (See Matkin & Riggar p. 80 for manuscript<br />

components)<br />

Use appendices to add more information, so the editor<br />

<strong>and</strong> reviewers have the whole picture. They may decide<br />

that some of that information should be included in the<br />

body of your work. Appendices give them (<strong>and</strong> you)<br />

choices.<br />

Be accurate with the limitations of your study (sample<br />

size, claims of causation, etc.)<br />

Note that some authors will write 3 or 4 drafts before<br />

distributing their work to colleagues for review; do<br />

whatever you think is necessary to get your best work done.<br />
