I received notification this morning that my first Peer-Reviewed article has been accepted for publication. \u00a0 It is an annotated bibliography of Frederick the Great for Oxford University Press (OUP) Online and it has taken me awhile to write it up. \u00a0 The process of writing it is pretty interesting in and of itself and I am going to describe how that went.<\/p>\n
I was first contacted by OUP last November asking if I had any interest in writing an article. \u00a0 The initial contact had the proposed subject and that Dr. Dennis Showalter is the Editor-in-Chief for the project. Because I get blog related spam and fishy requests and offers all the time\u00c2\u00a0 emailed Dr. Showalter to find out if it was for real and he assured me that it was whereupon I agreed to the project and started researching and writing. \u00a0 Writing the first draft took me about 4 months between researching, writing, and doing all the other stuff I have simultaneously going on. \u00a0 Once I submitted the initial draft it took about 6 weeks for the initial edits and peer-reiew and then another two weeks for me to make revisions and re submit it.<\/p>\n
Finally, this morning I got the notification that it has been accepted for publication. \u00a0 It is milestone for me as it is my first academically peer-reviewed paper. \u00a0 Not something I though I would ever actually accomplish. \u00a0 If you look at the OUP page for forthcoming articles<\/a> mine is scheduled for Spring 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I received notification this morning that my first Peer-Reviewed article has been accepted for publication. \u00a0 It is an annotated bibliography of Frederick the Great for Oxford University Press (OUP) Online and it has taken me awhile to write it… Continue Reading →<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1219,121],"tags":[48,609,228,608,606,20,479,1003,395,607,33],"class_list":["post-3048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dispatches-administration","category-scholarship-2","tag-academics","tag-dennis-showalter","tag-frederick-the-great-of-prussia","tag-oxford-university-press","tag-peer-review","tag-prussia","tag-prussian-army","tag-prussian-history","tag-prussian-military-history","tag-publication","tag-scholarship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3048\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.military-history.us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
