From the bestselling author of The Book Proposal Book, a practical, step-by-step approach to mastering the four pillars of scholarly writing for authors, editors, and publishing professionals

Developmental editing holds the power to make a manuscript connect with publishers and readers, yet few scholarly writers have the training to do it well. Make Your Manuscript Work offers a practical method for assessing and refining the features of their texts that matter most-argument, evidence, structure, and style. This guide shows scholarly writers how to identify what's been holding their writing back and fix it so they can accomplish their publication goals.

Laura Portwood-Stacer, a writer, editor, and consultant for academic authors, explains how manuscripts move through the publication process and identifies the key stages for authors to improve their texts. She helps writers better understand who they are writing for and why, enabling them to determine what their drafts need most to move forward. Drawing on a decade of experience as a developmental editor of scholarly manuscripts, Portwood-Stacer details the most common opportunities for development she's encountered and shares practical tips for implementing needed edits. The book also includes a checklist of assessment questions, examples from real scholarly manuscripts, tips on seeking additional help, and advice on offering developmental editing assistance to other writers.

Written with candor, empathy, and a deep awareness of the challenges faced by academic writers who want to publish, Make Your Manuscript Work is an indispensable how-to guide for scholars at all career stages.

Explores American colonial print culture's diverse output and how these texts shaped public life and modernity.

In The Novel and the Blank, Matthew P. Brown uncovers the vibrant, overlooked world of the eighteenth-century British American print shop. Printing more than just novels and pamphlets, these workshops produced a kaleidoscope of printed materials-from legal blanks and almanacs to runaway slave ads and chapbooks-that reflected the complexities of colonial life.

Brown paints a rich cultural history of the time, identifying and describing the steady sellers that stabilized the trade and the print surges ignited by religious revivals of the 1730s-1740s and political upheavals of the revolutionary era. He explores the connections among commercial caution, literary expression, and oppressive structures like the slave trade. The book advances our knowledge of early modern culture in several ways: by providing a rounded portrait of colonial and early national literary culture; by examining a steadily popular canon rarely read by modern scholars; and by depicting the lived religion of readers, writers, and printers who participated in this literary culture.

With a sharp focus on everyday texts and readers-rather than on the canon of works constructed by modern scholars-Brown reimagines the public sphere of the eighteenth century as a vivifying experience. Through an innovative blend of historical rigor and cultural insight, The Novel and the Blank reveals how ordinary print shaped extraordinary shifts in religion, secularism, and the ways we understand modernity itself.

Chapters analyse how to approach an interpretive research path, demonstrating how this can differ from conventional dissertations and projects. Academics discuss the experiences and challenges of fieldwork, including detailed case studies such as indigenous land claims in Cambodia, and research 'by proxy' in Myanmar. Einfeld and Sullivan emphasise the importance of flexibility in interpretive approaches and challenge the traditional narrative that emotions are separate from research, advocating for a thoughtful and rigorous approach to produce stronger results. The book also assesses the expectations of supervisors and examiners and explores what a career as an interpretive researcher can look like.

How to Conduct Interpretive Research is a vital resource for academic researchers and students, particularly new PhD students who are considering different research paths. Its focus on political science, international relations, and social sciences also make this prime readership for scholars of these disciplines.

Brabazon demonstrates how instances of failure can facilitate an awareness of asymmetrical power dynamics and injustice in academic life. How To Embrace Academic Failure illustrates how to create personal, professional and organizational change as a result of failure. It offers practical strategies for using failure to enhance academic careers and improve research ethics and teaching. Brabazon concludes by presenting an idealised academic future where a culture of failure provides transparency, rigour, ethical leadership and followership.

This insightful book is a vital resource for students and scholars of higher education management, business leadership and the sociology of education. Academics in critical university studies and early career researchers will also benefit from Brabazon's novel perspective on the post-pandemic, claustropolitan university.

Organized so that readers can use the guide as either a quick reference or a study aide, this resource will empower students to use appropriate, discipline-specific reporting verbs in their academic writing.

This volume addresses the issue of linear constraints in regression modeling. Author Roger A. Wojtkiewicz uses the method of knotted spline variables (also known as piecewise linear regression) and a new method involving group spline variables to model nonlinearity in a variety of situations. Using spline variables to model nonlinearity allows researchers to specify unrestricted models for models that involve interval variables, allowing for greater flexibility in modeling any possible interaction.

This student friendly book demonstrates how to take a critical approach to the research design process, to create feasible, original, and critical research works.

The author uses a unique model that incorporates three critical review cycles: methodological design, epistemology, and completed research plan, in order to ensure that readers have critically engaged with various components of the research proposal. Approaching research design as a coherent whole, this book focuses on critically understanding how the various components come together as a cohesive and interconnected design, as well as to explore how the same basic research idea can lead to a number of different research designs. Including sections on both conceptual and methodological designs, readers are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to take a basic research idea and conceptualize a complete and organic design for a research based on it that can make an original contribution to the existing body of knowledge.

Covering quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches, and addressing the ethical implications of research, this is an essential resource for researchers, instructors, and students across a broad range of disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences and humanities.
