ABSTRACT
This chapter concentrates on the skill of writing and the approach to securing publication in refereed journals and other published outlets. Good writing requires a consistent and conducive environment. The chapter discusses the structure of the well-formed journal article. Articles are most usually accepted only after substantial revisions and, sometimes, additional empirical work. The empirical journal article provides the greatest challenge but it is also the single most important form of publication in scientific career. Skill, in oral presentations, also has a useful role for young researchers, who can impress influential researchers with cogent and engaging presentations at conferences, workshops and departmental colloquia. For a young researcher, accepting invitations to write chapters in books provides an opportunity to practice relevant skills. The referee is biased by own theoretical and published position and hostile the work, which in some way criticises or threatens to undermine. Dealing with bias in referees is a tricky issue.
