• Scientific journal– Build on existing work, contributing something new– The writing process requires a thorough review and
evaluation of previous work.
Quality Authorship Structure

I. Quality of Content
1. Designing and Reporting Research– As an author, you should know how editors and
reviewers evaluate manuscripts
2. Evaluating Content– If the research is sufficiently important and free
from flaws to justify publication?

Quality of Content -Designing and Reporting Research
• Following defects you should avoid:– Piecemeal publication– The reporting of only a single correlation– The reporting of negative results– Failure to build in needed controls– Exhaustion of a problem
7
Quality of Content -Evaluating Content
• Checklist based on Bartol, 1981– Is the research question significant? Is the work original
and important?– Have the instruments been demonstrated to have
satisfactory reliability and validity?– Are the outcome clearly relate to the variables?– Does the research design fully unambiguous test the
hypothesis?– Are the subjects representative of the population?– Did the researchers observe ethical standards?– Is the research advance enough?
