ED515B Writing an Academic Journal Article

For this course, students should bring an existing manuscript or emerging research findings (dissertation, proposal, or other research) from which to draft an article manuscript or revise a manuscript in progress. Ideally, students will have have taken ED515A. The course will start with planning a publishing agenda from a larger project such as a dissertation. To this end, students will select three options for target journals, in order of importance related to their goals for a particular manuscript. The course will explore common formats for journal articles of various types. It will then help students craft the focus of the article’s argument in relation to the ‘conversations’ taking place in a specific journal, align their paper with the journal’s guidelines (length, format, referencing style, etc.), and work on components of the paper, depending on the stage of their manuscripts. The course will also help students understand how to identify “literacy brokers” who can support the production and submission of manuscripts. Students will also engage in important submission practices such as writing an inquiry letter.
