This book focuses on academic writing and how academics who are experts
in their fields can translate their expertise into publishable form. The
magnitude and speed of the changes that are transforming the global
academic landscape produce an ongoing need for literature that
interprets the nature of academic work. This book arises from the
background discipline of Education, which is a relatively new university
subject that draws on the entire knowledge spectrum from the fine arts
to the natural sciences. Each chapter addresses an aspect of the
conditions of written academic labour in an age of digital publishing:
its nature, how it works, and guidance for successful navigation. This
book will provide helpful guidance to graduate students, researchers and
teachers in universities and higher education, who are united by the
challenges of this new world of academic publishing.
