What are academic manners in writing and publishing? Do they exist in scholarly writing? Are manners in academic writing necessary? Many writers in academia may have never considered that there are unsaid “rules” of academic writing that not only establish a researcher/writer in their scientific community but also can help in propelling the writer in their field. Some aspects of being “polite” in academic writing may seem trivial but others are so important, that not following them may result in a writer being labeled as difficult. Such a label will not only potentially taint the writer's work but also the department/institution that they hail from. Herein, I will discuss several aspects of this topic that I believe, if followed, can help the academic writer become well known in their field and have their work more widely appreciated and potentially, published. The focus of this chapter will be on the academician and their writing, submitting and publishing in the peer review process. As a writer, author, reviewer, and editor, I believe that I have a unique perspective from which to address this topic.
