Tips for Writing Your First Academic Article

Getting an article published through blue hosting services in an academic journal can be quite a frustrating process. Most of the time, it demands serious commitment of no just hard work, but time. Still, it is essential for many academics and scientific researchers to establish a record of publication, especially if they aim at pursuing a career in these fields.

If you are targeting to get published in an academic journal and you have no idea where to start, below are some helpful tips for you that should help get the odds turned in your favour and at the same time, make the whole process a lot less daunting.

Below are some of the most things that everybody who is into academic hosting should know about writing their first article:

Target a specific and appropriate journal

It is often tempting to get your articles submitted to the top journals in the field where you belong. These are, after all, the journals that you and your peers happen to be familiar with. They are the ones that you have always seen get referenced multiple times in the specific literature you consume.

However, you must remember that the journals that are considered as among the top are known to be very competitive. This means that any academic project that is ever published in these journals has to be ground-breaking. They also need to be research that offers considerable significance and may often require the authorship of multiple people. These articles also need considerable budget as well as institutional support. This is why, if you want to increase the odds of you getting published, getting strategic in your journal of choice is important.

Have a novel idea

You cannot expect journals to want to publish your work when you do not really have anything new to say. For a work to be published, you want to say something new without putting your credibility and reputation on the line. For an academic article to be successful, it needs to position with existing scholarship as well as build on knowledge that is already existent. Existing work can be a good starting point for any research piece. Then, the envelope can be pushed further in the hopes of discovering new things.

Take the time to edit your work

Serious revisions and editing are needed for your work to really make it to academic journals. This means that you will need to go beyond the usual skimming. When editing, make sure to remember to avoid using a passive voice and get confusing passages fixed too. You can also ask a third party to provide reviews on excellent services and allow them to proofread your work.

Strategic referencing is important

You need your work to be credible and the best way to do so is to cite credible references. For an academic publisher to seriously consider your work, it is important to have it banked on academic references. When referencing, always remember to go to the original source. You will want to reference those works that have been widely cited too. Citing articles from the academic journal you are submitting is also a win.

Benefits of documentation and creative writing

Writing is often deemed as a cathartic activity. For young adults and teenagers, writing is arguably one of the best activities one can indulge in.

To help you get there, or to provide more momentum, this segment is directed towards highlighting the many benefits that this activity brings for the user!

Simply speaking, the benefits and advantages of these presents are endless. However, we’ve highlighted the top few ones that we believe are the most influential. 

A subtle form of therapy  

There are several studies and research done on the matter of reading and writing, especially when done by young individuals. The general conclusion that the bulk of the authorities arrived at stated how writing could be a form of therapy for young kids. 

This is primarily attributed to the fact that writing enables self-expression and acknowledgment of how you’re feeling in the present moment, which can often lead to self-actualization. 

Helps improve vocabulary

We’ve all been there. Once you get the hang of writing, you’ll want to get better at the craft. To help you get there, users often integrate a thesaurus into their daily reading.

By writing daily or indulging from time to time, you’re paving the way for an improved vocabulary, which will also carry over to your speaking spills. 

Fuels imagination and creativity 

Writing is a continuous process. Once you get into the groove, the collective process of writing can help you be more elaborate with your thoughts. If done consistently, various patterns of thinking can inculcate creativity in an individual.

Furthermore, this also triggers the subconscious mind to actively seek out more connections in the real world so that you can write about it. Long story short, writing is a great way to increase your imagination and creativity, especially when it comes to the arts. 

Asserts self-confidence  

Writing is also reputed to assert self-confidence in young adults. This is because writing gives the user a voice that they can assert and acknowledge. For a lot of individuals, this can help build self-confidence down the road.

This can go a long way and can help individuals aspire for more down the road. Programs such as Immerse education often lookout for individuals who are good with words and are confident in their abilities. 

Encourages empathy 

When writing, users are often encouraged to put themselves into their character’s shoes. This helps build empathy and makes individuals more accepting of others and accepting diversity. 

This is an attribute that should be encouraged in all. Writing is one way you can go about it. 

Conclusion  

The countless benefits that writing offers are priceless; you can’t put a tag on it. Regardless of your age, this is one activity that you should actively seek out and engage with if you want to keep your mind young and fresh.

Little Known Facts about Pine Flooring

Pine is one of the most popular flooring materials due to its affordability and durability. A pine floor can stand up to decades of use before it has to be replaced, making it not only easy on the wallet, but also good for the environment. 

Since pine is typically sold unfinished, you can have it finished in whatever way you like. If you like its natural appearance, you can simply have it treated with varnish or whitewashed. 

You can also have pine painted or stained based on your preference. It can even be left untreated, and it will develop a distressed look as it ages that many homeowners find appealing. 

Unfortunately, it also needs to be handled with care since it is prone to wear such as scratches and dents. Hence, it needs to be regularly vacuumed and dusted to avoid debris that could cause damage. 

Of course, you also have to be careful when moving furniture or other heavy objects to avoid the floors being damaged by deep grooves. You can avoid damage by using felt pads underneath the furniture.

You can also protect pine flooring by finishing it if you did not buy it finished. Depending on how much foot traffic it gets, you will need to refinish it every five to ten years.

Here are some interesting and little known facts about pine:

  • Depending on the species, it takes from twenty to 100 years for a pine tree to grow large enough so that it can be harvested and used for woodworking. However, this is still a much faster rate of growth than walnut or oak, making it suitable for forestry practices that are environmentally friendly.  
  • Most types of pine trees, such as table mountain, short leaf and white, can live from 100 to 200 years. But some pine tree species, like the bristlecone, have a potential lifespan of thousands of years. In fact, a Bristlecone pine, which was given the name “Methuselah”, has been alive for 4,600 years and is considered the longest lived organism on the planet. It is located in California’s White Mountains.
  • There was actually a bristlecone, which had been cut down, that had lived for 4,900 years. It had been discovered underneath Wheeler Peak, in a grove, and had reportedly been nicknamed “Prometheus”.
  • Pine trees that are grown in plantations for sawing timber can be harvested after only thirty years. Some trees, however, may be allowed to grow for as long as fifty years since older wood is move valuable. 
  • Pine is one of the longest lasting types of flooring. There are homes that have pine floors that are a hundred years old, and in some cases even older.
  • Pine logging actually started in the late seventeenth century, and logs were initially transported using horse-drawn wagons. By the nineteenth century, logging had become a huge industry, and logs were transported via river, horse and train to the sawmills where they were processed.
  • There are actually two machines that are used to turn pine into wood planks. A band saw is used to turn the cut log into a square shape. Then a gang saw is used to cut the logs into boards of different sizes. These boards are sorted according to size.
  • Virtually the entire log is used. Scrap wood is used for scrap projects such as particleboard. Chunks of pine wood are set aside for use in furniture making, and smaller blocks are used to make pinewood cars.

One of the varieties of pine used to make pine lumber, Southern Yellow Pine, actually consists of several species. The major species of yellow pine used for lumber are the Loblolly (pinus taeda); Shortleaf (pinus echinata); Longleaf (pinus palustris) and Slash (pinus elliotti). These species are virtually indistinguishable from each other, even under microscopic examination.

5 Ways to Make Extra Spending Money

Even if you have a full-time job, unfortunately, sometimes it is still not enough to make ends meet. Sometimes you need more money to live the life you want. In many cities, the income rate is not rising as quickly as the cost of rent and other staples of life. If you find yourself living paycheck to paycheck, then you may need to rethink your income streams. Consider the following suggestions if you need to get yourself out of a rut and one step closer to living your best life.

1. Sell Your Old Car for Cash

Sometimes you need a chunk of money in a lump sum to pay off some bills and get back on your feet. Selling your car for cash can help you do just that.

If you have an unused vehicle parked behind your house, or if you have an old car that is more costly to maintain than it is worth, your car can be put to greater use. When you sell your car for cash, the process is often much simpler than if you tried to sell it to a dealership. Luckily, many companies specialise in this very transaction. All you have to do is search for a local car wrecker, such as Cash for Cars Perth, who buys old cars for cash.

2. Get a Side Hustle

If you need to make more money regularly, then consider getting a side hustle. If you are unfamiliar with the term, a side hustle is another job that you work in addition to your main source of income.

Side hustles can take a variety of forms and can even be fun. Some examples include freelance writing, driving for a ride-share company, or tutoring.

There are nearly infinite possibilities in the side-hustle world. As long as you can make money from it, and it won’t detract from your life or your primary job, then it will work.

3. Rent out a Room

Platforms like Airbnb make it easier than ever to make money out of unused space. If you own a guest house or even a bedroom that is sitting empty, renting it out is a great way to make extra money.

Renting with Airbnb can be a quick way to generate profit. Plus, it requires few startup costs. This method is more effective if you live in a popular tourist destination, but it can be lucrative almost anywhere.

4. Make Money Online

There are many ways that are fairly simple to make money online. One of the most popular is filling out surveys.

Many websites will pay you for merely taking surveys. Filling out surveys while relaxing at home and watching your favourite TV show is not a bad way to unwind and get paid.

There are also apps you can use to get cash back for everyday purchases. Generally, these apps work by having you take a picture of your receipts. Then, they will send you a rebate for certain items you purchased.

While neither of these options will replace your day job, they may help you make it to your next payday with a little less stress.

5. Put Social Media to Work for You

This idea takes a bit more time and energy but can be incredibly lucrative for those who stick with it. If you can amass a large following on social media websites like Instagram or YouTube, you can make money from advertisements and sponsorships. If you have enough followers, companies will pay you to promote their products or place their ads on your sites. Check out seooneclick.com/digital-marketing-agency-seattle/ if you want to outsource your online marketing efforts to a trusted agency.

The Takeaway

Money, or lack thereof, is something that causes people to stress throughout the world. If you consider yourself one of those people, hopefully the above tips will get you one step closer to financial stability. Just remember that this is your life, and you deserve to be happy and financially secure.

Writing ideas: Literature Examples of Courage as Essay Topics

The literature provides students with endless opportunities to write and express themselves. Courage is one of the more frequent topics, but this doesn’t make it any easier to write the essay. If you’re asked to craft an essay on the topic of courage, the wide array of choices you can find in the literature will only make this harder for you. 

Surely, you can always go for simple essay topics, ones that have been discussed so often that you won’t have to do a lot of research and you can also receive help from essay writing service review. However, if you want to make great impression and get the highest grade, you must use all of your creative forces and select one of the best essay topics for college students. 

How to Choose English Essay Topics on Courage

When you’re given the assignment to write an essay that discusses, describes, or arguments courage, your main focus is not the plot – it is the idea of the paper. This is especially important with admission essays where you not only have to share an interesting story, but actually give something unique and attractive to the admission board. This is what will prompt the board to allow you to enroll in the university of your choice.

https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-holding-blue-ballpoint-pen-writing-in-notebook-210661/

The courage theme can be found in many literature pieces today and is easily recognizable. However, it is not easy to explain. When it comes to courage essay writing, this needs to be both analytical and argumentative. In many cases, that requires analysis of your own experience and impressions from the literature piece. 

If you’re out of ideas and cannot pick an essay topic to write on, you can always use https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/courage/ to guide and motivate you. Generally speaking, you can choose between the following types of essays that use the courage theme.

Definition or expository essays on courage

If given this task, you need to explain to the reader the notion of courage as used in the literature piece. This will demand either real or fictional examples that illustrate your own definition of courage. You can’t just say that courage is ‘an act of bravery’. The essay type itself requires a more thorough definition of how you see and understand courage as presented in the piece. After all, there are plenty of heroes in many stories, but your essay quality will depend on your point of view, who you see as a hero, and why. 

The biggest mistakes students make in this case is to tell the entire plot without focusing on the actual definition. As the name suggests, the essays should define courage as you see it, not analyze the entire piece.

Analytical or argumentative essays on courage

Even though they both explore the theme of courage, argumentative essays are entirely different from definition essays. Your topic might be the same here, but your purpose is different. The goal with this essay type is to make the reader think about courage and what is right or wrong. You need to question courage as a notion, speculate its nature, and perhaps even discuss different points of view in terms of courage in people. 

In this case, there is not such a thing as easy essay topics. As long as you choose a specific point and stick to it, every piece of literature with courage elements in it can be turned into a great argumentative essay, which are available on sites like EssayHub.

Reflective essays on courage

Finally, you may be given the task to write a reflective essay. This is probably the most dreaded task among students – to use their personal experience to discuss the courage theme. This is what makes it one of the more popular admission essay topics. You need to compare the literature to your own life, failure, success, and basically – courage. 

https://pixabay.com/photos/writing-write-person-paperwork-828911/

Examples of Essay Topics Using the Courage Theme

Now that I’ve established the types of essays you can be asked to write on courage, I’m presenting you with my favourite literature topics that discuss courage:

  • Vanity and hypocrisy in Henry Fielding’s Joseph Andrews
  • Heroes of the past, present and the future
  • Time to Kill vs. To Kill a Mockingbird
  • Lady Macbeth’s kind of hero
  • Courage in ‘The Lord of the Rings’
  • The courage of the Baudelaire children in ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’
  • Kinds of bravery in the ‘Allegiant’
  • ‘The Kite Runner’ and the author’s portrayal of courage in the novel
  • Was Macbeth a failure as a king or a courageous person?
  • Beowulf in today’s society
  • Crane and The Red Badge of Courage

Conclusion

Courage is a very common topic in the English literature. As such, you’ll probably have it assigned at least once during your education. When you do, you might find it hard to choose a topic. There are many different perspectives toward the theme of courage, which gives you endless opportunities to write about it. 

In this article, I’ve presented you with some excellent topics for courage essays. I hope that these helped and – if they didn’t, that you’ll find the guide useful in finding the best topic for your paper.
