The Handbook of Scholarly Writing and Publishing (The Jossey-Bass Higher and Adult Education Series)

Customer Reviews:

A real gem for a broad range of disciplines

By Lisa G. - September 18, 2011

As a doctoral student in public policy with a background in molecular biology, I was pleased to discover that Rocco and Hatcher's work is highly applicable to many scholarly disciplines. Although I am an "emerging scholar" in public policy, I have coauthored several papers in scientific journals and found that Chapters 18 and 20, "Addressing Feedback from Reviewers and Editors" and "Working with Coauthors," were extremely insightful. I only wish that this book was available years ago. Additionally, unlike several other books that I have recently read on scholarly writing, this book provides clear and relevant examples of how to engage the literature, organize your research, and write salient literature reviews.

Great book for graduate students and new scholars!

By Josh C. - April 11, 2012

I highly suggest this book to any graduate student or new scholar seeking help in the process of starting, finishing, or improving a manuscript of any kind. The book offers detailed suggestions and guides for a number of publication types (i.e. book review, conceptual paper, research from the dissertation, etc.) and writing up different research methods (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, etc.). The book is especially helpful for those in fields related to education, adult education, or human resource development, though the title might suggest to some that it is intended to be helpful regardless of discipline. I hope to see a future edition of the book expanded to include scholars and contributions from other fields, but overall, this book is a good start to an important conversation: improving writing among scholars and students, and alleviating some of the stress and mystery that surround the process.

Brilliant!

By emergingscholar - April 5, 2012

This book is completely accessible for any emerging scholar in any discipline and includes some useful tips for experienced scholars. I wish I had this book at the start of my graduate program.
