Abstract:
Publishing in good journals is always an important mission for scholars. How to successfully publish academic papers is essential for a researcher’s career. In particular, it is quite challenging for educational researchers to publish papers in international journals. As an author for many years, I will share some experiences for academic publications in international education journals. More importantly, by serving the Editor of two SSCI education journals for several years, I will talk about the tips for successful publications from the perspectives of the Editor. The most important criteria of assessing a good academic paper will be discussed as well.
