Academic editors want pretty much what most teachers want

Given that I have had this conversation in class about "error-free prose" in your essays, I thought I'd post a link to this article from The Chronicle of Higher Education, "What Editors Want." Basically, it turns out that most academic journal editors (which is where professors try to publish) want what most professors want out of their students: writing that is targeted to the right audience, writing that isn't sloppy, and writing that properly cites resources. Go figure.
