  • Key learning points for me:

    1. A journal article is written to communicate a message to others.

    2. Writer should mentally be prepared for rejection of his or her article by editorial board or reviewers.

    3. Simple but correct English, appropriate research, and clarity in communicating the message are good enough to start writing an article.

    4. Select relevant journal(s) for publishing an article and read their instructions for authors.

    5. Search and read a model article or key study on the proposed topic.

    6. Consult publication manual relevant to the discipline.
