Seldom do readers have an opportunity to see inside the worlds of other writers. This makes "It Works for Me: Becoming a Publishing Scholar/Researcher" very special. The contributors to this book are inviting us to visit their private worlds. Before you begin exploring their worlds, think about your own world of scholarship, and sort out the topics that you find the most exciting. This reflection will prepare you to do more than visit these other worlds; once inside each world, you want to immediately look around and take something back with you. Knowing your passions in advance will enable you to capture those ideas that connect to your own world.
