Journal Article Tips for getting your work published by an overworked journal editor Isabel Molina-Guzmán Communication, Culture and Critique, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025, Pages 294–296, https://doi.org/10.1093/ccc/tcaf049 Published: 26 December 2025 Abstract In this article, I discuss the constraints today’s journal editors are facing to help authors understand what they can do to more effectively manage the process. Specifically, I share advice with authors for improving the success rates of interdisciplinary and early career scholars. I conclude with a brief discussion of my journey into editing as way to open pathways for others interested in journal editing.

List of 16 films, ranked by preference. All That Jazz: 3.08, 4 first-place votes In The Mood For Love: 5.92, 3 first-place votes Fast Times at Ridgemont High: 6.08, 2 first-place votes Portrait of a Lady on Fire: 6.23, 2 first-place votes The Conversation: 6.46 Marie Antoinette: 6.54, 1 first-place vote Double Indemnity, 7.31, 1 first-place vote Blood Simple, 7.31 Breathless, 8.23 Blue Velvet, 8.46 The Blair Witch Project, 9.31 The Wizard of Oz, 9.69 Millennium Actress, 11.62 Meshes of the Afternoon, 12.31 Daughters of the Dust, 12.85 With Babies and Banners, 14.62 Some other details: No film received my favorite honor in this exercise (first- and last-place votes), but Daughters of the Dust came close, with a single second-place vote and five last-place votes. All That Jazz's victory was defined by consistency; only one person rated it outside the top five. Fittingly, Double Indemnity and Blood Simple tied all the way to the millionths decimal point. I gave DI the nod because of its lone first-place vote.
One of my favorite things to do in class is ask my students to rank our screened materials at the end of the semester. The results are not often surprising, but they're still interesting/instructive.
