In this course I teach you exactly what I did to get my academic work published in peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings. You will complete an assignment that will get you thinking about your next article by developing a title, abstract and three options for journals that you want to get published in. I have been rejected many times from academic journals well but I have figured out why that happened and in this course I teach you how you can improve your chances of getting published.
Learn how academic publishing works and how you can become part of it so that you earn the credibility you need as a researcher. Make sure your years of hard work at a post graduate level have the maximum impact by seeing your work in a recognised journal. You will have a better chance of achieving this goal by learning about the following;
The changes tracker technique and a demonstration of examples from my own academic submissions
Different types of journals; predatory, open-access, traditional, peer reviewed and conference proceedings
How to research suitable journals and gain a better understanding of how you should position your work
Why you shouldn't submit the same paper to multiple journals at the same time
How to save time in future submissions and how to plan for a re-submission
Being a co-author and dealing with co-authors and how to manage a resubmission with them
A systematic process for making changes to your article based on multiple sets of feedback
Other aspects of submitting a paper to a journal and additional requirements you may need to meet
Why writing for an examiner is different from writing for a journal and how to make this distinction
A systematic literature review and how you would approach this as an option for publishing
How to approach your own work in the best possible way to get part of it published
The points system for published academics and how this works for different journals
Learn from my own experience of getting rejected many times and ultimately getting published. I've combined all these insights and skills into a series of lessons that will teach you how to achieve the objective of getting your work published in an academic journal.

"What an amazing course! After finishing this course, I have confidence. Thank so much Dr Peter Alkema" ... "This is exactly the jump-start I needed. Very clear and concise"
I lead Digital Transformation & Architecture at ABB and I've been featured on CNBC Africa and won the Gartner CIO Of The Year in 2016. I founded and led the largest banking hackathon in South Africa which was published in 2019 as a case study by Harvard Business School.
I've taught over 100,000 students about technology, business, academics and self-development. In 2020 I completed my PhD at Wits University In Johannesburg. The study introduced a ground-breaking theory of Agile software development teams. My woodworking book was published in 2014 and has sold over 10,000 copies.

Well organized..."
Werner van Wyk: "Thank you Peter, once again your lesson and course have given me so much knowledge and understanding" / Yvonne Rudolph "I really look forward to take everything i learned in action" / Josephine Mahlangu: "exactly what I needed to know, absolutely valuable and helpful for my personal growth"

I appreciate the content and the instructor sharing personal experiences and insights.
By Ankita Sengupta on 10/24/2025
I am not a professional research but a teacher and believe in research to solve real life problems.But since there is no formal training of being a researcher these online courses are my only source of learning.I find till yet that this is a very good course.
By Nicola Stokes on 11/21/2024
Having finished my PhD, I was aware of most of the things Peter discussed. I was hoping the course would be more about academic writing for journal articles. This is my fault as I did not fully investigate what the course was about. Saying that, I did learn a couple of new things. Peter is an excellent presenter. Very articulate.
