Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any advice? My PhD is the humanities and I have one publication which is essentially an overview of my PhD and I have quotes from my fieldwork integrated into it. I am in the process of writing another article and am trying to pull out two interlinked themes. One of these has been touched on directly in the existing paper, the other slightly less so. For both themes, the work I hope to present in the second article will be significantly theoried up but inevitably draws on parts of the same fieldwork and elementary ideas. Is it ok to do this? It's definitely not a case of two like for like papers. I don't want to look like I am just recycling info to get another publication - that's definitely not the case and paper two will ultimately be more weighty than the overview type style of paper one.
Many thanks :)
Thanks for your reply Beejay. Thinking about it, I've seen the same stuff so many times too - I suppose it is even more common at an early stage of your career. I'm definitely not doing a cut and paste job (!!). I think (seriously hope!) that if I do it right this could be a good paper and believe me I'm the world's least confident so I want to get it right and am typing myself in knots in the process!
