This issue of the CSWEP newsletter is devoted to demystifying the publication process. At universities and colleges around the world, young economists and senior faculty members alike find the publication process to be daunting. Online submission has made it easier to submit your work and likely helped to reduce turnaround times at journals. Yet technology cannot answer questions like how to choose which journal is the best outlet for your work and how to respond to the myriad and often conflicting comments of referees.

The aim of this issue of the newsletter is to help you to answer these questions. We hear directly from three journal editors (Robert Moffitt of the American Economic Review, Patty Anderson of the Journal of Human Resources, and Shoshana Grossbard, who founded the Review of Economics of the Household ten years ago) on what they look for when they receive an article to review. All three agree on some basic principles that may seem obvious yet are surprisingly overlooked in many submissions.

First, make your contribution to the existing literature crystal clear in the introduction. Why is it important to study the question you are addressing? How do your findings advance our knowledge on this topic? 

Second, be sure your writing is as clear and concise as possible. In addition to obtaining the valuable perspective of editors, I asked two veterans of the publication process, Hope Corman of Rider University and Nancy Reichman of the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey, for their tips on how to successfully respond to referees. How to respond to a “revise and resubmit” is one of the trickiest aspects of the process. In their article, they address both the emotional roller coaster of addressing sometimes conflicting critiques of referees and offer practical advice on responding and “respectfully disagreeing.”

This series of articles provides important tips for navigating the publication process for all economists interested in getting their work in print. All of the advice given here rests on an important presumption: you’ve written an article that is of high quality and ultimately merits publication. I hope that you find this newsletter a helpful accompaniment to all of the considerable hard work that you do on your papers.
