FROM THE EDITOR: How to Get an Article Accepted at American Anthropologist (or Anywhere), Part 2

I the September 2008 issue of American Anthropologist (110.3), my “From the Editor” piece was entitled “How to Get an Article Accepted at American Anthropologist (or Anywhere)” (Boellstorff 2008a). In it, I discussed five tips that, based on my experience reviewing hundreds of manuscripts, would help an author get their work accepted for publication at any scholarly journal—regardless of methodological approach, theoretical framework, or subdisciplinary position. I have been flattered to find this article circulated globally, including a range of reprintings and even translations. Given this interest in discussing how to present one’s research in the most effective manner possible, I have decided to provide— precisely two years after my original article—five new tips to getting an article accepted at American Anthropologist (or anywhere).
