Academic Woman Amplified

Today, I am spotlighting a problem so many academics cite as the reason they are delayed in submitting articles or books for publication: perfectionism and self-editing. Specifically, I am addressing the writing stage, where the project is nearly done, but something beyond formatting or copyediting is holding you back from submitting it for review. First, I explore the top three reasons academics find themselves caught in the cycle of perfectionism and self-editing. Then, I encourage you to lower your internal bar and recognize how the excessively high, self-imposed standards academics often set for themselves can hinder publication. Finally, I underline the necessity of feedback and why your aim should be repetition, not perfection. If your struggle to release work is clogging your publication pipeline, this episode is for you! Tune in to learn how to let go and escape the trap of perfectionism and self-editing. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast/226.   CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Our 12-we
