 * **Academic publishing: Lessons learnt from the Southern African Business**

This article aims to describe and analyse the editorial review process and its outcomes with reference to the Southern African Business Review (SABR) as well as weaknesses of manuscripts submitted for publication to the SABR. This analysis is based on the more than 300 manuscripts and approximately 600 referee reports submitted to the SABR during the five-year period 2004 to 2008. The findings reveal a variety of reasons for rejecting manuscripts. These are multidimensional and range from weaknesses in research design, presentation of research findings and failure to contribute to the body of scientific knowledge, to more mechanical problems such as language style and referencing. A proper understanding of shortcomings in academic writing will highlight the guidelines for compiling good scientific articles. || Review http://www.unisa.ac.za/contents/faculties/service_dept/docs/academic_pub_3_CHAPTER2.pdf ||

http://www.lsri.nottingham.ac.uk/ejb/preprints/ARV_Education_in_the_wild.pdf || Center for Global Development. || http://www.cgdev.org/content/publications/detail/1424175 || Borrowing its name from the MirandaNet community and the Gaelic word for a 'gathering or assembly', MirandaMod acknowledges its indebtedness to other unconferences, especially [|Teachmeet]. //**What is a MirandaMod?**// MirandaMod is an informal, loosely structured unconference (see Wikipedia definition  ) of like-minded educators to share ideas about the use of technology to inspire others. We hope they will become a regular feature in the MirandaNet calendar. It is likely that MirandaMods will usually (but not always) be a fringe event following or attached to a formal MirandaNet seminar/workshop or meeting. It is hoped to establish an International dimension to this event. Historically Mod comes from the Gaelic word for a gathering, assembly or parliament.* (as in Moot) It is always free to attend a MirandaMod (and you will be fed and watered) There will be a Wifi connection, please bring your laptops etc || http://www.mirandanet.ac.uk/mirandamods/ ||
