Guide to Publishing in Psychology Journals

'I really liked the first edition of this book, and like the second edition even better. Journal article rejections are painful for everyone, especially young scholars who must publish to get a job or tenure. Rather than learn who to publish with through trial and error, they can use this book as a guide. It is a useful guide for older scholars too!' Brad J. Bushman, Ohio State University
