163: Why Changing Universities Isn't The Answer To Your Publishing Problems

163: Why Changing Universities Isn't The Answer To Your Publishing Problems

"If I change universities I will be able to publish more." This belief is a common misconception amongst academics who need help to clear their publication pipeline. But the problem isn't with the institution; the problem is with you and your mindset on writing.

In this episode, I share four core principles for building a sustainable writing practice. If you are struggling to publish articles and have considered changing universities as a potential solution, it's time to reconsider your mindset. Changing universities is not going to solve your writing and publication problems. Clogs in your pipeline are not caused by course load, service work, or research obligations. Without the proper coaching and arsenal of management tools, your writing problems will follow you to every institution you work for.
