So glad to hear that you are on the mend!

Have you already written a review (for your thesis, for eg) that you feel can be adapted for journal publication? Be careful that your desire to get published (which is natural and commendable of course) does not distract you from your PhD progress . Have you discussed your idea with your supervisors?

It is usual for journal editors to invite specific authors to write literature reviews, rather than for them to be published after spontaneous submission. However, there is nothing to stop you from contacting various journal editors to ask them if they would be interested in publishing your review (give them the title and perhaps the abstract/summary too). Good luck.

Lamingtons all round then?

Well done Fluffymonster!!!! I submitted a few months before my 30th too.

Well done Sue!! I saw that the 700th was approaching but resisted (for once!)

Team, may we please also have a broken heart emoticon for those of us with boyfriends who refuse to acknowledge Valentine's Day?

Blimey H, some girls have all the luck! What I wouldn't give for my bloke to want to whisk me away for Valentines* or take me out to dinner! It will be a miracle if I even get a card



*(I totally understand you need to wait until he's made an honest woman of you to keep your parents happy!!)

The link wasn't suppose to directly answer your question, but to provide you with contact details for the people who can answer your question i.e.

"The British Council in your home country will be able to help you. Before you apply you could try asking your former course tutors or alternatively you can visit The National Academic Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom. They will give informal advice free of charge. An official 'letter of comparability', which will be accepted by employers, costs £30 (+VAT), but should not be necessary for most universities, who will assess you themselves."

Great news!!!
