Review

This nifty little guide achieves its goal of demystifying the procedures and apparent biases associated with the publishing process (p.5). A Guide to Publishing in Scholarly Communication Journals is highly recommended as a desktop reference for all communication scholars. Knapp and Daly provide clear, well-organized guidance on facilitating communication with editors and reviewers....Even the most seasoned communication scholar will profit from the books sound advice, logical organization, and unshrouding of what many experience as a largely invisible and anxious process.
