Publishing Advice for Grad Students

I image that many of you may have already stumbled upon this, as it was on SIVACRACY.net. Reading over the essay though, I found it to be very helpful, not to mention just plain interesting.

Thom Bro
oks of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) - Newcastle Law School, has written a 31-page essay on how grad students can easily rack up some publications for their CVs. The essay is free and can be downloaded from here. Many of the aspects of the publishing field the Brooks mentions I saw firsthand (especially the notes about how long publication can take) in my work as a copy editor for scientific journals, so it seems as if he is handing out some advice that we would be wise to heed.
