What conferences to attend? How to find the money to go there? Is it worth it to act as a peer reviewer? What publishers are best to target? Is publishing a chapter in an edited book worth the work?  This book is intended to help scholars to design and think strategically about their own career. Beginning with \"How to get published in good journals,\" it explores a number of questions that most academics encounter at various stages of their careers. §13§\"However, the book is more than just a set of useful guidelines. Polese offers fresh impulses to the 'publish or perish' debate, and you should not miss this contribution. It is well a written, easy-to-read, pragmatic and sometimes cynical view of the life of scholars.\"-Politologický casopis (Czech Journal of Political Science, No. 3, Vol. XXVI) §02§Abel Polese: scholar, development worker, writer, and wannabe musician (with his children at Multea Music YouTube channel). He works at Dublin City University and has, to date, published 15 books, over 100 peer-reviewed chapters and articles and designed capacity building and training programs on the Caucasus, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America (funded by, inter alia, the EC, UNDP, Erasmus National Agencies, Irish Aid). In addition to \"The Scopus Diaries\" he has been working on the blog (and future book) \"the guide to everywhere,\" suggesting an approach to travel that can make people \"read\" new countries and cultures even when one encounters them for the first time. §13§o reluctantly navigate these waters and this can be a daunting task, particularly for those at the early stages of their careers. The Scopus Diaries will help them in this endeavor through a series of precious tips and strategies that most researchers wished they knew about when they started a PhD.\"-Filippo Menga, University of Reading and Scopus Early Career Researcher UK Award Winner for 2018 (Social Sciences) \"Abel Polese has acquired an unrivalled understanding of how academia works and has now distilled his insights to provide an indispensable guide to navigate through the maze. The only mystery is why he has decided to share this precious insider information. My advice is to grab a copy before he reconsiders.\"-Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Dublin City University §02§Abel Polese: scholar, development worker, writer, and wannabe musician (with his children at Multea Music YouTube channel).
