Abstract

Research shows that several factors often impede potential authors from engaging in the publishing process. These include negative emotions stemming from unpleasant reviewer feedback and/or a lack of specific knowledge regarding the various stages of writing and publishing. In this article, based on a session we presented at the 2022 ISME Early Childhood Commission Seminar, we aim to counter such negative emotional responses by providing writing and publishing information for readers who seek to disseminate their work through (). We draw upon Kwan’s Research Publishing Competence Framework, which consists of five domains related to comprehensively supporting authors: conceiving and designing publishable projects, output planning and management, manuscript writing, thesis–publication conversion and handling reviews.
