Description

The gold standard for scholarly accomplishment in any professional discipline is publication in a national peer-reviewed journal. Many journals accept small studies such as those done as part of a senior honors project or thesis. Disciplines vary as to what they will consider, but listed herein are ten suggested steps that faculty can recommend to students who want to have their honors work submitted, reviewed, and possibly accepted for publication in such a journal. Just going through the steps will give the honors student valuable experience. Even more importantly, the review process often provides the student with excellent comments by reviewers who have an experienced perspective on the discipline and who view the finished product without being aware of its development. Reviewers' comments may provide validation for the worth of the work and/or feedback on specific elements that are unclear to a knowledgeable reader. These comments are invaluable to the author's objectivity and writing skill. This discussion is written to provide honors faculty with a "nuts and bolts" overview that they can share with their students to show them how to get their honors work published in a peer-reviewed journal. It is assumed that the honors work is an original piece of scholarship and prepared according to acceptable academic standards for a written paper, with proper referencing, formatting, attribution of sources, etc. If the work includes human participants or nonhuman (animal) subjects in research, approval by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee is required and should be included in the description of methods. Most journals will not publish without documentation of approval processes.
