DESCRIPTION:There are many challenges associated with being a graduate stu
 dent\, contract researcher and/or early career scholar under the condition
 s of twenty-first century university life. REF’S\, pressure to publish\,
  and complete within short timelines are just a few of these challenges. \
 n\nTwo very common challenges come to mind which are often not discussed e
 xtensively in the UK because of the short completion time lines of doctora
 tes\, the lack of collaborative research writing with students and colleag
 ues\, and the limited support for students to work as Research Assistants 
 seeking joint publications and long standing\, ethically oriented mentorsh
 ips. The first challenge is to get articles published whilst also completi
 ng a thesis. Questions arise: What constitutes a good article\, and how do
 es it look to the reader and what is the intended message of the work? How
  can I write something creative\, fulfil the aims of the journal and maint
 ain my own intellectual integrity?  The second challenge is learning how t
 o review articles for publication so as to ascertain a greater critical un
 derstanding of the diverse range of writing in one’s field and its chara
 cteristics\, as well as learning how to write an informative and ethically
  oriented review. What is a good review\, how does one write critical yet 
 respectful reviews\, and how can a reviewer assist the author in improving
  their work? What role should reviewing play in my academic career and how
  can I do it well? Should I be involved in editorial boards and how does o
 ne get involved? \n
