The cycle of publishing journal articles - 2012


From time to time I find it helpful to reflect on the entire cycle of publishing journal articles. Here is what 2012 is looking like so far: 4 published, 6 in press, and 9 in submission. There are more articles that are currently being written and planned. It is such a pleasure to publish with my students and colleagues on topics that hopefully will make a difference in children's lives.
