[Adta] publishing

[Robyn Flaum Cruz]

Andrea, yes publishing is important and it is a great undertaking to create 
an article from one's thesis work.  Most journals like the American Journal 
of Dance Therapy or The Arts in Psychotherapy require that an article be a 
unique contribution that has not been published elsewhere.  This forces 
authors to carefully consider where to submit a manuscript, as the same 
manuscript cannot be submitted multiple times to multiple journals -- only 
once to one journal.  Journals also have "guidelines" for authors that are 
published in the journal.  For a relatively small profession, I think we 
have a lot of authors, and hopefully you will also hear from others on this.
