Every academic journal specifies criteria that are supposed to be used to decide which articles get published and which don’t, but these are usually only a small part of what goes into publishing decisions
Dr Christopher Byrne, Senior Lecturer, Politics & International Relations at Leeds Beckett University will present the unwritten rules of getting published in academic journals, drawing on his experience as co-editor of the journal British Politics.
This presentation will be particularly useful to PhD students and early career researchers looking to publish research in the coming years.
Dr Christopher Byrne is a Senior Lecturer in Politics in the School of Social Sciences. He researches and teaches various aspects of British politics, including British political history, the UK core executive and the UK Parliament. Recent research projects include studies of regime cycles in 20th and 21st century British politics, the effect of neoliberal thought on the structure of British central government, and the political afterlives of MPs. Dr Byrne is co-editor of the journal British Politics.
