Abstract:

Expressing a strongly positive view of the value of academic publishing that reaches far beyond what is implied by the book title, Moxley offers informed suggestions to faculty members for conceiving, developing, and publishing scholarly documents as books or journal articles. His book discusses the composing processes of successful writers and provides specific guidelines for various types of writing, including abstracts, book proposals, and grant proposals. Writers are instructed in applying the standards and techniques used by professional editors for evaluating and editing manuscripts. Moxley also addresses political and economic factors that impinge on what is written and published and suggests ways to involve institutions and professional organizations in motivating scholarship writing and publishing.
