Abstract:
The “publish or perish” paradigm significantly impacts doctoral students’ career progression, employability, and academic contributions. Navigating academic publishing involves challenges such as ethical dilemmas, predatory journals, and rigorous peer review. This study explores effective strategies and common challenges faced by doctoral students in publishing across various disciplines and regions. Through quantitative ethnography, it analyzes interviews with nine doctoral students, using Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) to compare themes across disciplines and locations. Key findings highlight the importance of collaboration, strategy implementation, and mentorship. Social sciences students focus on strategic journal selection, while STEM students emphasize collaborative research. Geographic differences include access to digital resources and familiarity with IRB processes. Universal strategies for publishing success include goal-oriented preparation, efficient literature search techniques, and proactive manuscript enhancement. The study provides valuable guidance for doctoral students navigating academic publishing.
