Summary

After discussing normal initial responses, real-life cases (Charles, Katie, and Martin), and core concepts, the chapters offer several practical suggestions to help new authors publish better and more review articles: write a good-quality review article as the first effort toward journal article publication; studying the 27 items specified in the PRISMA statement; selecting one of the 14 types of literature review based on our own specific research needs; searching and reviewing whether reviews have been published and how these reviews contribute to the literature synthesis; making sure to specify and justify new and substantial contributions that your review will make; writing a strong Method section to demonstrate the rigor and thoughtfulness of your review efforts; developing and presenting insights on future research directions, reading more good review articles and using these as guiding examples, and knowing good journals that publish reviews frequently or exclusively (e.g., Annual Review of Psychology, Psychological Bulletin, and Review of Educational Research).
