Publishing original research: principles and practice

Experience has taught me that there is definitely a knack to getting your written research published, although, in this the era of 'evidence- based practice', empirical research to substantiate this claim is sadly lacking. Just as there are good practitioners, good teachers and good researchers, there are good writers. However, it is not always the good writers, and definitely not always the good researchers, who manage to ensure their work is published. It is the experienced or canny writers whose work proliferates, those who can turn their hand to many subjects, or mould any set of information into something that is worthy of publication.
