Most PhD students ask:
“How do I get published?”
The better question is:
“How do I become the kind of researcher whose work gets published?”
A classic paper from 2005 still gives timeless advice:
Read papers critically.
Be objective about your own work.
Listen to reviewers.
Write clearly.
Learn to handle rejection.
Start writing early.
Publishing isn't a single breakthrough it's the result of habits repeated over years.
Which of these rules do you find hardest to follow?

My latest column examines the lynching of Malama Ummulkhair, Nigeria's culture of mob justice, and the institutional failures that keep feeding it. Every Nigerian is one scream away from becoming the next victim.
