Miscellaneous Stuff on Doing Research and Publishing:

bullet On Why You Ought to Publish Your Work:
bullet Joel Achenbach, "Who Knew?  Publish or Perish.  the Untold Story of Thomas Harriot, the Greatest Scientist You Never Heard Of," National Geographic (May, 2003) [I'd give you the page number but they don't seem to number many of the pages in each issue.  Also it doesn't seem to be online.]  This article is a nice piece about a scientist who made many discoveries long before they were made by those to whom we commonly attribute these discoveries.  It makes me think of the handful of papers I've done that I never followed up with and then later watched someone else publish the results.
bullet Tips for Publishing in Finance Academic Journals
bullet Articles that will make you work more carefully when doing research
bullet William G. DeWald, Jerry G. Thursby, and Richard G. Anderson, "Replication in Empirical Economics:  The Journal of Money, Credit and Banking Project," The American Economic Review 76 (September, 1986), 587-603.
