Abstract

Publishing research papers on teaching and learning is increasingly difficult in this information-overloaded era; however, strategic approaches can be employed to disseminate findings within the academic community. The goal is to provide an overview of strategies to this end and to make an impact. This idea arises from three sources of information: my experience as an author and editor, the review of texts for publication, some in fields other than education, and results of an exploratory study of exemplary research manuscripts over two years. I delve into the need for a rigorous and methodologically sound study, as a guarantee of validity and reliability of the results. Threats of plagiarism, techniques for a compelling and engaging narrative, and how to successfully navigate the peer review process and addressing reviewer comments to improve manuscript quality are explored. I emphasize the importance of maximizing the scope and impact of research results, graphing them, as ways to provide illustrated and accessible knowledge. Finally, recommendations and examples are offered that address steps to follow to elaborate a good article, the content of each of its parts, the style of writing, the value and importance of references, to improve the visibility and relevance of the work and to contribute to the advancement of teaching and learning practices, in the light of current thinking.
