This guide offers a clear step-by-step approach for graduate students and early-career researchers, especially non-native English speakers, seeking to publish in international journals in the social sciences. It provides practical strategies for preparing, submitting, and refining research papers, helping researchers navigate the challenges of academic publishing. With 21 chapters, the guide covers every stage of writing, revising, and submission, while addressing the unique obstacles faced by non-native English speakers. The guide helps researchers identify reputable journals, avoid predatory ones, and use digital tools to meet international standards. It then provides a structured roadmap that simplifies the publication process, covering steps like journal selection, writing compelling abstracts, and drafting the methods and results sections. By the end of the guide, it is expected that researchers will have a strong first draft or, ideally, a submission-ready manuscript. The guide also addresses language barriers, cultural differences, and unfamiliarity with international conventions. It offers practical solutions for improving English writing, utilizing digital tools, responding to peer reviews, and managing revisions effectively. It emphasizes ethical guidelines like avoiding plagiarism, properly crediting co-authors, and ensuring research transparency to help researchers meet global standards. Unlike other research guides, this one is specifically tailored to early career and non-native English researchers working in social science disciplines. It offers practical strategies and real-world examples to equip researchers—and teachers of research methods and academic writing—with a framework for achieving publishing success in global academia.
