I am new to writing for a social science journal on areas relating to innovation and performance. For a social science journal with an impact factor between 3.0 to 3.5, could you share your thoughts on the average time taken to complete the article from the conceptualisation stage?
Also, could you list on your top 2 challenges to complete the article?
It will take minimum of 2 months
1st start reading bout the topic the your own mind will start thinking about that topic and after that you will be able to write over that particular theme.
If you are new to writing journal articles, I would recommend you study the book "Writing your journal article in 12 weeks" by Wendy Laura Belcher. The book is very insightful, and the author is well aware of problems encountered by people writing outside the USA or writing in English as their second language. However, according to the book, the "twelve weeks" is possible only if you already have your data analyzed and base your article on something you have already done, such as a thesis chapter. Starting from scratch would probably take longer in most cases.
It all depends upon the topic that you choose to write. The golden rule is that you need to perform an extensive literature search for your topic to know what has been accomplished so far, this will be followed by identifying the gaps in knowledge in which your article can pitch in. So far as time factor is concerned, it all depends on you.
Wishing you all the best in your endeavours.
