My name is Dr. Mouhamadou (Mo) Sow and I am excited to be part of this learning community. I will be facilitating the discussion in this thread, which is being sponsored by the Faculty Advisory Board (FAB). This discussion is presented as a part of the Faculty Training & Development Faculty Culture Initiative. This month the FAB discussion will be on data gathering for publication with a particular focus on writing for journal articles. We will be discussing and sharing tips and best practices on this topic. This discussion will be useful to faculty members that are new to publication.
The schedule may be modified depending how the discussion goes. The discussion will last for four consecutive weeks starting on January 4, 2021. You are encouraged to participate, further discussion, share your experiences, and make this a great learning opportunity. The schedule for this month’s discussion is as follow:
Welcome to week 1: Writing for Publication Process (Scholarly Journal Articles)-Jan 4-10, 2021
To get this week discussion started, I am posting this article and asking that (1) you share your thoughts about this article or (2) discuss your experience in writing a peer reviewed journal article.
I look forward to the learning opportunity and further exploring this topic together!
I would like to thank you each of you for participating in this discussion on Data Gathering for Writing Journals.

In my experience, one of the most crucial aspect of learning about publishing involves actual practice, including submitting papers to journals, having conversations with professionals, and reading reviews. This is in addition to learning about the basics of the research process. According to Graff, Birkenstein, and Maxwell (2014), the first step in conducting research is finding a topic of interest which can be used to form a research question. Next, the researcher should evaluate existing scholarly journals to examine the information available on the topic. This is important in familiarizing with existing research, and identifying research gaps to explore. For the faculty members, writing for publication is essential for individual career development and the advancement of projects (Lillis & Curry, 2010). There is increasing pressure for continued innovation in the global context, and research is one the first step in achieving this goal. Even though, many refereed or scholarly journals have their own authors guidelines including submission preparation checklist, and manuscripts preparation, many of them have the following sections:
What are some of the challenges we often face in writing for publication? Please share your experience if any.

Mouhamadou Sow Dr. Sow, thank you for sharing the article, Writing an Academic Paper for Publication. I am still relatively new to writing and publishing academic work and several ideas in the article resonated with me. Considering authorship is not only important in regard to similar interests and/or research goals, but it also ties into writing style which is highlighted in the article as well. I have had the opportunity to work with several different co-authors and from my perspective, the entire experience is not only easier when writing styles align, but it is far more enjoyable too!
The other main takeaway from the article overall is organization. This may sound obvious but without the consistent effort of each participant, forward progress on the project can be delayed. From my experience, the following bullets are key:
Lastly, the mention of a mentor is an excellent idea although it can be intimidating. I have been fortunate to develop several strong mentoring relationships that continue to help me become a more confident, effective research writer for which I am grateful.
Thank you for a great discussion, I look forward to learning more!
Lisa thank you for your joining and sharing your experience working with other researchers. I agree that sometimes it is not easy to work with others for various reasons, but it is great to have different perspectives, reconcile writing styles, and have a different set of eyes to review the paper. I am glad you shared these great takeaways, I found that collaboration, open communication, meeting regularly with the research team, setting deadlines, and mentorship are key to this process of publication.
So, everyone, what are the challenges and rewards working with other researchers on publication? Please share your experience if any.
Thank you
Mouhamadou Sow my pleasure, I have learned so much from my collaborations so far and look forward to many more.
Mouhamadou Sow
Greetings Dr. Sow and all faculty colleagues.
This topic is of interest to me because I have a topic that I'm collecting data on, and I would like to see my work reach a scholarly publication. My work is a qualitative question of interest to organizational psychology and business interest.
I've been working on this project for about ten months now; i have done some library research and framed a research question and an interview protocol. I'm collecting data in my spare time.
I'm a bit intimidated by the journal acceptance process and I also feel bogged down working alone; I have doubts about my chance to get this information into print and worry that I'm just wasting time. Still, I feel positive about this project because I think the world could benefit from this knowledge and it could lead to new valuable explorations.
THanks for opening this discussion in CIRT. I'll read the proposed article and stay on track with the discussions here.
Steve
Steve Broe Hi Steve. I can relate 100% to feeling intimidated, but CIRT has some amazing resources for all levels of research experience, including a new mentorship program, that I encourage you to check out. It sounds like you have already taken care of a lot of the groundwork so I hope you go for it!
https://cirt.gcu.edu/research
Steve, thank you for joining this discussion, sharing your publication journey and topic of research. Research is often a slow process that requires a careful design, so taking your time to ensure that your meet writing or journal requirements is key. The planning that goes with data collection is also time consuming. From completing training, applying for the IRB, dealing with revisions, informed consents, study instruments, to designing a survey or questionnaire. We will discuss data gathering starting on week 3 and will go into more detail in that section.
We often get intimated by the journal acceptance process, but usually after the 2nd or 3rd submissions and acceptance to a journal, you get to know the process better for that specific journal and it can increase your chances of acceptance on future submissions to that journal. A lot of time, they reject it the first time with some revisions to make. I would revise it to improve the paper and decide to resubmit it to the same journal or try a new one. Beyond, the value of the research, acceptance of an article depends several factors including journal’s interest in your topic, the editor’s, journal recently accepted. GCU CIRT has a variety of resources that can be helpful to researchers. Also reaching out and seeking collaboration from established researchers are likely in achieving the goals of research. I have not used this resource called Co-Writing and Collaborative Writing services at GCU, but I plan to explore it.
Thank you, Lisa for sharing, CIRT certainly has a wealth of information and resources for all level of research experience. This is a great link to bookmark and use as a resource as we plan and work on our publication goal.
Steve Broe Hi Steve, CIRT also offers One on One Research Consultations if you would like some more customized feedback! https://cirt.gcu.edu/research/support/consultation
Lisa Duryee Thanks for the recommendation, I have just signed up for a faculty consult (next week) to discuss the direction of my research.
Morgan McNaughton that's a great suggestion. I had to pause to think about the consultation, and I did pause and decide that I could probably be helped. So I've signed up for a consultation next week. Thank you.
Hello Steve, please share your experience of the consultation after your meeting. I have not consulted them before, but I plan to in the near future. Thank you
Mouhamadou Sow I'll be happy to share this discussion here! I am so pleased to have this opportunity.
Mouhamadou Sow, Thank you so much for this professional development topic. I'm excited to learn more and (hopefully) feel comfortable and confident in my research writing abilities. I would like to work on some solo projects in the future. I think it'll be nice being able to work at my own speed and on my own timeline, but working with a team has its advantages as well. I am grateful I'm finding CIRT's resources and considering the Think to Ink program.
There were a couple things I found interesting from the article. It seems writing research manuscripts is similar in the UK and wondering if there are differences in some parts of the world? Also, I think it's a great idea to read several articles from the target journal. However, do some of them allow a variety of writing styles? It seems the exemplars I am reading from one particular journal seems to be this way. Titles/headings, passive/active, lengths of background and how long discussion sections: all different.
On a different note, do you feel that the pandemic has slowed the review processes, overall?
Thanks,
Melissa Milliken, Ed.D., LPC
Hello Dr. Milliken and thank you for joining this discussion! You are right that being able to work on your own has its own advantages. I also found that both team collaboration and mentoring is likely to help new researchers become confident in their research writing abilities.
I completely agree with you when it comes to reading a lot articles from your targeted journals early one on your planning. Many journals have their own templates, writing styles and author guidelines. For example, the process of peer review of a particular may take 6-10 weeks and some of them the review can take up to 3 months.
I don’t think the pandemic has slowed the review process of journals, but I may be wrong. Usually, a journal has a pool of reviewers with timelines to return reviewed manuscripts. I have not submitted any project during the pandemic, but I have reviewed manuscripts at a specific journal and was able to return it within the allocate timeline. I also recently submitted an IRB application and the review process was within the expected timelines similar to prior the pandemic.
I am glad that you are finding CIRT’s resources useful and planning to use the Think to Ink program.
Mouhamadou Sow Dr. Sow, Thank you for sharing this informative information. I am new to GCU and new to publishing scholarly work. I would like to know how to publish articles from my dissertation. I recently completed my EdD in May of 2020. I feel turning my dissertation into individual articles would be the logical next step. I am not sure how to proceed.
Hello Latisha, thank you for joining this discussion and welcome to GCU. I am new at GCU as well, I have been year for about one year. Congratulation on completing your doctoral degree!
Here is my experience turning my dissertation into individual articles. I used mentoring relationship and collaboration to turn my dissertation into publishable peer review journal articles. Given that I worked with my Dissertation mentor and other mentors during the last two years of my dissertation journey and they have provided me a lot guidance on how to improve my manuscript from APA, to editing, to feedback on the method sections, or areas of improvement needed on my dissertation.
I asked some of them if there whiling to be a co-author when it comes to turning my dissertation to journal articles. Given that most of them are expert in publication and have published a variety of peer review journal articles in my field, I taught it would be an asset publishing with them. They worked me through the process included and not limited to (a)selecting 2 to 3 targeted journals in my field of study, (b) discussing which one will give us a better chance for publication, (c) reading journal scope and guidelines, (d) discussion of how to prune the content, narrow, and focus material from dissertation into journal articles, (e) writing the first draft and sending for review and feedback before using the journal template and sending it. Even though some of mentors suggested presenting them though conference, we end up just submitting them for journal article publication. I was able to get 3 peer review journal articles from my dissertation that we were able to publish and they were listed as coauthors. It was a learning opportunity for me to go through the process. I think each of these mentors bring a unique perspective to the project. One of them was an expert in quantitative study and statistics, the other have heavy experience in publication and is an editor with experience refining manuscripts, doing editing, and APA. I feel much more confident in publication now that when I first started in 2014.

Everyone, please share your experience in turning a dissertation into individual peer review journal articles.
Dr. Sow,
Thank you for your posts and driving this forum. This topic is pretty timely as to my aspirations of publishing. I have just defended my study and am in form and formatting.
All the tips provided make sense and offer a good practical framework. A couple of things stuck out:
Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer.
Mark
Mark, thank you for your insight on this discussion and congratulation of oral presentation of your dissertation. I understand how it may feel to ask additional supports, but many of them will welcome the opportunity to copublish with their students. Specially where all the work is already done, it is more fitting your work into pieces and a journal platform. Serving as a reviewer a specific journal is likely to give you insight into how authors are evaluated when undergoing peer review. You may check other journal reviewer’s recruitment processes.
You made a great point with starting up to read a specific journal criterion and their review process. Depending on your topic of your dissertation, I will start targeting specific journals used in the references of your dissertation. Look at articles in the field and relevant journals to see what the structure, review criteria, review process, template, author guidelines, but mostly read published articles in your targeted journal. Converting a dissertation to a journal requires structuring your dissertation to fulfil the journal requirements and adjusting it to fit the scope and style of the journal. Depending on the research questions on your dissertation, you may want to consider separate research questions into individual papers and narrowing the focus to specific topic for each paper.
When reviewing a paper, I usually ask the following questions:
Having these in mind prior to submitting your paper will likely to help on your next submission.
Mouhamadou Sow Greetings Dr. Sow, I found the article very informative as well as helpful. Once I received my doctorate degree, it has always been a goal of mine to use the research and results to publish a few articles as well as expand my research on my topic of interest. With both the information provided in this forum over the next three weeks as well as the resource Lisa shared (GCU CIRT), I feel motivated and encouraged to move forward in the process of publication. Thank you again and look forward to learning more from you and my colleagues:)
Many blessings,
Thank you Fecelia for joining the discussion and I am glad that you found these resources helpful.
Even though many wait until they finish their dissertation to explore publication, I have seen some researchers publish prior to finishing their dissertation. The benefit of waiting until you finish is that you have gone through the process with your dissertation mentor and the learning community regarding various aspects of writing, IRB, data collections, and publication in general.
I look forward to the learning opportunity!
Collaboration between different individuals is important in achieving the goals of research and attaining professional development. Student-faculty collaboration in the research process is important because it promotes the development of both the students and the faculty members. Collaborative one-on-one practices between the faculty members and the students help the students to get more practice in writing for publications, while the faculty members get free labor from students whom they train on attaining writing proficiency. However, Kapp, Albertyn, and Frick (2011) cautioned that such collaborations are likely to raise concerns, especially during official recognition. I have the opportunity to work and collaborate with other faculty members to attain my publication goal. After completing my doctoral degree, I had the opportunity to work with dissertation chair and other faculty members on publication projects. Volunteering as a review board member at a variety of journals also helped me in furthering my learning in the publication process. Grand Canyon University, Center for Innovation in Research and Teaching (CIRT) has great resources including Components of a Research Paper, Collaboration, and THINK & INC (Grand Canyon University, n.d.).
In reviewing these resources provided above, in what ways do you think they may be useful in publication?

I started my publication journey early on in 2014 and have been publishing at least one article per year with the exception of the year 2020. I am currently working on my 12th article and I hope to have it published early in 2021. Developing the proposal requires adherence to the rules stipulated by specific research boards like the IRB. It is also fundamental to familiarize yourself with the ethical connotations involved in the research process. The researcher has a responsibility to present information truthfully and play their role in the research community, the society, as well as the participants (Kapp et al., 2011).
When planning the publication, it is important to cross-check the regulatory procedures, including issues like plagiarism. The methods used in the research depend on the research objective. This will also inform the data collection process because the methodology dictates how the research will be conducted. Once the individual has outlined every section of the study, they can proceed to create a proposal and submit it to the IRB for review. If the research meets the expectations of the IRB, the researcher receives clearance to proceed with the study. This part is important because it ensures that the actions of the researcher are within the legal and ethical boundaries of the research process.
We should plan to meet the university research compliance. For example, at GCU, all GCU researchers are require to complete the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) training and apply for IRB Approval for each study. Also, any researcher seeking to use GCU data is required to apply for Site Authorization. All of these are key in the writing for publication. Please see CIRT’s Resources below on this discussion topic.

Hello Dr. Mouhamadou,
Thank you for providing this opportunity to share out regarding publishing research. To answer your questions:
1. I felt the article was informative and helpful for laying a foundational groundwork of understanding regarding how and why to publish, and what to keep in mind in order to organize and submit an article to journals for consideration.
2. I have submitted several articles for publication in peer reviewed journals over the last year. I have found the process to be very refreshing, but sometimes the feedback regarding those articles can sting a bit. I revise, rewrite, and resubmit the article based on peer reviewer feedback. I've also sent an article to another journal for consideration and acceptance. So far, and fingers crossed, all of my research articles have been accepted. I have several more in play for submission consideration.
Thank you!
Laura Schaffer Metcalfe, Ed.D.
Thank you, Dr. Laura Schaffer Metcalfe for providing insight on this topic and sharing your experience in research planning. You made a great point about process, sometime you get this feedback from reviewers it may include suggested or required revising based on a given reviewer. Would you revise the manuscript and resubmit to the same journal? Or would you suggest submitting to a different journal?
When dealing with these requests from reviewers, I usually revise and resubmit to the same journal for a second time instead of trying to submit to another new journal.
Congratulations on those projects and I hope you get acceptance on those soon.

Week 3: Data Gathering for Publication
The process of data collection is financially intensive because conducting primary research requires prior planning and considerations that the researcher must make. Some universities can provide funding for the research or facilities that the researcher may need to collect information. Kramer and Libhaber (2016) claimed that data collection and data gathering must follow the procedures stipulated in the IRB. In the modern environment, researchers have many options concerning information and the literature analysis process. The researchers can find assistance from professionals in different platforms like LinkedIn Groups, professional organizations. In some cases, data collection can be done within the university, with the approval of the leadership. For example, at GCU, a researcher can apply for a SITE AUTHORIZATION to use GCU data for their give study. Some of the best practices for data collection include responsible data handling, collaboration, and data quality (Kramer & Libhaber, 2016). To get week 3 discussion started, lets discuss data gathering process and I am also sharing these existing resources. that I was not aware of existed here at GCU. https://cirt.gcu.edu/research/comply
Please share your experience in Data gathering for publication and any use of GCU resources including CITI program, use of SITE AUTHORIZATION , or GCU IRB.

Thank you
Thanks for hosting this discussion. It is an important one. I have found that often one of the biggest hurdles as one begins to publish is finding the right match of paper/topic to journal. It is so tempting to go through revision after revision after revision to try to get the article accepted, when sometimes another journal is a better fit, and might accept the paper already as is. Really understanding the scope and sequence of the journal is a huge key. Another is to volunteer as a peer reviewer and see the "other side" of the submission process.
Thank you Jeff for your insight on this week discussion. Reviewing the scope journal and volunteering as a peer reviewer are key in a publication journey. Here is a document I found on the CIRT resources related to the GCU IRB Document checklist.
