The Rocky Road to Publishing in the Management and Decision Sciences and Beyond: Experiencing the Journey and Lessons Learned [Paperback]

This book documents the history of two research papers, from the first drafts to the final polished published articles, including the reviewer comments and the author responses. The documentary provides unique insights into the publishing process, which at times is filled with uncertainties, not only for young researchers. The book discusses lessons learned and also provides an experienced editor's and reviewer's perspective. In the light of the high pressure on young faculty to publish successfully, this book offers itself as a guide to publishing efficiently and effectively in a highly competitive scientific environment.Part 1: Prologue.- Part 2: Case Study 1 (Choice Behaviour in Interactive MCDM: A Rocky road).- Part 3: Case Study 2 (Can a Linear Value Function Explain Choices? An Experimental Study: A Not So Rocky Road).- Part 4: Epilogue.

From the book reviews:

This is a very useful reference covering all the aspects that one should consider in publishing scientific papers. & Not only is the book very useful to those that are aspiring to publish scientific papers, but I believe a wider audience will also find this interesting, especially in gaining an in-depth understanding of what the publishing of papers entails. & A truly fascinating book providing an inside view into the world of publishing scientific papers!
