Introduction to Open Publishing at Taylor & Francis

Successfully getting a journal paper published is one of the most challenging aspects of a young researcher’s career. While acceptance or rejection depends heavily upon the original quality of one’s research, it is helpful to know more about selecting journals, the peer review process, and the point of view of receiving editors and reviewers. There are also important aspects related to disseminating your research to ensure it is read and cited more widely.

One of the most important rituals that parents carry out to give their blessings and provide protection to their children in traditional Chinese society is to dress them in clothing and give them accessories with auspicious patterns. The belief is that these patterns will repel evil spirits and also signify their hopes for the good health and good fortune of their children.
