投稿學術期刊的五大效益之四：促進學術事業成長
【學術專欄】
投稿學術期刊若不僅能獲得進步的動力，甚至還能發展為個人嗜好，就能讓學者在學術生涯提早創造高峰。發表文章不只是需求，更該是一種渴望。如果您缺乏投稿動力，或不確定自己是否該投稿，接下來的新專欄可讓您重振精力，蓄勢待發。本專欄將詳細介紹發表論文的五大效益，讓您重拾寫作動力，拓展自身實力。Scholars reach a point early in their careers when publication of their scholarly work becomes not only a key to advancement but a personal desire. The impulse to seek publication moves from need to want. For those not yet motivated to publish or who might be second-guessing a decision to do so, the following series might help refocus their energies. Each of the 5 benefits will be presented and explained on the TPS Fan page before being compiled as a series.
Benefit # 4 – Professional growth is spurred
效益四：促進學術事業成長
The decision to write a paper for publication sparks a scholar’s personal development as a writer because the requirements for publication in academic journals are stringent and rather inflexible. It cannot be accomplished without commensurate effort and the brunt of the effort is internal—writing, responding to editing critiques, etc. Once a paper is accepted and published, however, external forces begin to shape a career. Acceptance brings collegial alliances and challenges.
寫論文投稿，可以點燃火花，激勵學者培養寫作能力，因為要在學術期刊發表論文，必須遵守嚴謹的硬性規定，沒有充分努力便無法成功；個人本身必須付出心力寫作、回應編輯的批評等等，一旦論文獲得接受並發表，來自學術同儕的贊同與挑戰等外在的力量，便會影響學術事業。
Peer review leading up to publishing is like the laying of logs on kindling, the final preparation for an academic bonfire. When the scholarly paper is published, the fire is ignited and both heat and light are produced. The heat comes in the form of professional criticism and other challenging feedback. The light is the professional esteem expressed by peers of the realm. Each type of response to a published piece shapes and steels the author for additional career growth.
論文發表前的同儕審查，就像在引火柴裡添加木頭，是點燃學術營火的最後一步。論文發表後，火堆點燃，同時散發光與熱，熱力的來源是專業批評與其他挑戰意見，光芒的來源則是同領域學者表達的專業認可。每一種對發表論文的回應都能形塑、鍛鍊作者，有助作者進一步發展學術能力。
Additional professional development ensues in post-publication in the form of new opportunities. A published scholar is a credentialed scholar and one of the privileges of the credential is professional standing to review other work. In reviewing the submitted papers of peers, a scholar raises his profile in the academic community and begins to build networks. These are the fruits of an author’s painstaking research, writing, and submission of a paper—and sweet they are.
論文發表後，隨之而來的新機會也能促進學術能力發展。學者發表文章能贏得聲譽，這份聲譽有個好處，就是賦予學者專業地位，能審查其他人的論文。審查其他學者投稿的論文，有助提振自己在學術圈的資歷，並能建立人脈。這些都是潛心研究、寫作、投稿論文帶來的甜美果實。
