The Journal Editor's Perspective: "I always find myself coming back to Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science. "
Extract:
- Books are for use: Read current issues of the journal to which you plan to submit your manuscripts so you know the topics currently under discussion.
- Every reader his (or her) book:Conduct a thorough and broad literature search. Even a practice-based article needs grounding in the literature.
- Every book its reader: Once you have completed the literature review and identified the gaps your work will address, it’s fine to send off a query to an editor to find out if they are interested in your work.
- Save the time of the reader: Read the guidelines for authors before you contact the editor or submit your paper.
- The library is a growing organism: Writing is hard.
