Teaching in the universities has to be science-based.
Therefore lecturers and professors are evaluated
according to their success in publishing scientific papers. There is a proverb “publish or perish” in
universities and colleges. The aim of this article is to deliver some essential ideas for writing to scientific
journals. The problems of selecting the journal, writing the paper, and submitting it to a journal are
discussed. A good research is a basis for successful publishing but the research methodology is not
treated in the article. There are different types of papers: a) b) c) d) e) the reports of empirical studies,
the description and analysis of a case study, the review articles, which include meta-analysis of previous
research, the theoretical articles to develop theory, and the methodological articles to develop research
methods (Publication manual … 2003).
