How to write
an academic paper

Welcome

This is a website for anybody who wants to write and publish an article in an academic journal. The journal article is the main form we academics have to communicate our ideas and our research to our peers. In this website I compile thoughts, tips, and resources for mastering the art of writing a good academic paper and getting it published. I will share my experience as an author and reviewer and ask successful colleagues for theirs. Follow this website, and over the next months, you will find advise on themes, such as:

How to write a good abstract
Pick the right journal
Respond to reviewers
Turn empirical findings into theoretical contributions

I will post new material every two weeks. To stay up to date without having to check the website, sign up to our newsletter and get all new articles and videos sent directly to your inbox!

About

Hello, my name is Giorgos Kallis. I am an ICREA Professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. I have published over one hundred peer-reviewed articles, and I have reviewed as editor, referee or as a friend many more. I have supervised some 15 PhD students, and helped scores of masters’ students turn their dissertations into publishable papers.

In this website, I share what I have learned over the years about the craft of writing and publishing a paper. And I invite colleagues who are successful writers, reviewers or journal editors to share their insights with us.
