Abstract:
Most of us learned academic writing on the street. People learn a lot on the street, but the writing street isn’t the tree-lined boulevard where you learned about smooching or the sandy boardwalk where you learned about what follows smooching. The writing street is a grimy slum of shuttered buildings (“For Lease: Owner Didn’t Get Tenure”), grad students selling pirated copies of SPSS out of a van, and half-starved I/O psychologists burning old editions of the Publication Manual to keep warm. Walk warily.
