Journal Article Submission

The second assignment in this course was a journal article submission. For this, we were instructed to select a journal to submit to and review a piece we had already done in another class to fit a journal’s submission requirements. I selected a paper I had written for National Politics (POLS 100) that I took freshman year. Despite getting the chance to work on research I had done two years ago, I learned how to communicate with a journal to get that work published, a skill that I found to be more valuable than actually learning how to revise my previous work. We spent a lot of time working on writing cover letters and abstracts to submit to our journal of choice. I learned about the best way to introduce myself and my work, in terms of helping my credibility. Bellow is the market analysis, cover letter, cover memo and abstract, four elements of this assignment.
