Dilemmas and challenges in publication and revision of research articles as an early career researcher
Dilemmas and challenges in publication and revision of research articles as an early career researcher
In this chapter, I reflect on my dilemmas and challenges in the publication and revision of research articles as an early career researcher (ECR). My specialisation lies in second language writing and broadly corpus linguistics. Although the challenge regarding the emotional side of peer reviewers’ feedback that I narrate below may resonate with PhD and ECRs in different disciplines, the dilemmas may be more discipline-specific. The first dilemma regarding comparing or not comparing first versus second language performance in writing is perhaps more relevant to applied linguistics researchers than those of other disciplines. I have preferred to write this narrative chapter in a more conversational style rather than an academic one. Even though you will find some academic references that may be useful for professional development, most of this chapter is based on my experiences of publishing after my PhD and reflections on these experiences at the time of writing.

Abstract
In this chapter, I reflect on my dilemmas and challenges in the publication and revision of research articles as an early career researcher (ECR). My specialisation lies in second language writing and broadly corpus linguistics. Although the challenge regarding the emotional side of peer reviewers’ feedback that I narrate below may resonate with PhD and ECRs in different disciplines, the dilemmas may be more discipline-specific. The first dilemma regarding comparing or not comparing first versus second language performance in writing is perhaps more relevant to applied linguistics researchers than those of other disciplines. I have preferred to write this narrative chapter in a more conversational style rather than an academic one. Even though you will find some academic references that may be useful for professional development, most of this chapter is based on my experiences of publishing after my PhD and reflections on these experiences at the time of writing.
