academic writing cooperation faculty groups professional development publication writers

  • Writers groups can bring faculty members together for dedicated individual writing time, team brainstorming sessions, reading and discussions of books designed to improve writing productivity, and peer review of works in progress. By creating a supportive interdisciplinary group for idea exchange, writers groups rely on internal expertise, inspire interdisciplinary discussions, and create community (Benson-Brown, 2006).  In addition, scheduled writing time that leads to peer review of works in progress creates accountability that helps some faculty finish writing projects that otherwise might have languished.
  • Writers groups raise awareness in participants by helping them to see challenges faced by student writers and by offering them an opportunity to reflect on teaching through their writing activities. 
  • One basic success has been use of a facilitator to set meeting schedules, obtain meeting space, and keep group members on task via their commitment to participate at regular times.

  • At colleges where a writers group is faculty driven, the leader is unlikely to be compensated by anything more than a line on his or her curriculum vitae, though perhaps this is not insignificant, given that leadership roles are frequently considered in tenure and promotion.
  • While some faculty in writers groups participate because doing so helps them to schedule time to work on projects, others need something different from the community: a group of peers who can review drafts and offer feedback for editing and revision. Even in interdisciplinary FLCs, the peer-review function can be very useful to members, providing them with commentary from a variety of perspectives.

    Though focused primarily on "faculty learning communities ... on two-year college campuses," this article may help a wide range of group types envision benefits and get started.

  • One challenge I’m considering is how we can better capture and surface information that is currently lost in the submission process. For example, many journals ask for highlights, key findings, implications, publicity/outreach summaries, statements of novelty and so on as part of the submission process, to assist editorial triage and review. Often, this information is never published alongside the article. Why not?

      When Charlie Rapple joined the crew in The Scholarly Kitchen in Feb. 2015, David Crotty wrote: "Charlie is a co-founder of Kudos, which helps researchers, institutions, funders and publishers maximize the visibility of research (covered in 2013 in this post). Charlie is also the Associate Director of strategic publishing consultancy TBI Communications, Treasurer of UKSG, and an Associate Editor of Learned Publishing" (Welcoming a New Chef into the Kitchen: Charlie Rapple, http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2015/02/23/welcoming-a-new-chef-into-the-kitchen-charlie-rapple/).
  • Publishers have worked hard over the last decade to streamline the submission process and reduce the time from submission to publication, but this does not address the issue that causes the largest delay, which is having to reformat and resubmit papers to multiple journals.

      When Michael Clarke started blogging for The Scholarly Kitchen in 2009, he was "currently principal for Clarke Publishing Group." He also had "worked at the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the University of Chicago Press" (Welcome Michael Clarke to the Kitchen, http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2009/06/15/welcome-michael-clarke-to-the-kitchen/).

    This post provided reflections from multiple perspectives on prospects for streamlining submission and reviewing of scholarly articles. The blog on which it appeared seems to partially fulfil the mission of the Society for Scholarly Publishing (sidebar blurb).
