Abstract: In this era of “publish or perish†on promotional requirement, this paper proposes a Gantt chart for writing a scholarly article for publication in reputable journals using four developed levels and eight sub-levels to achieve quality publication. The method used was partial exploratory research where only literature was consulted. Although the Gantt chart is not without assumptions and the chart could be useful in other fields, the paper was written to stimulate new entry into the social science academic forum, to arrange their time, efforts, and activities using the proposed Gantt chart arranged in four different Tables. However, the paper x-rays the typical constraints for achieving scholarly writing comprising the endogenous and exogenous factors. Among others, the scholar’s load of work, availability of electricity, knowledge of statistical software and family demands are structural and personal constraints. While there is no rigidity in the use of the proposed Gantt chart, the contents make it flexible to be rearranged for timing and optimality. Thus, using a Gantt chart, for preparing a manuscript for publication, matter to academic institutions and faculty members’ personal career growth. The Gantt chart is expected to assist researchers to maximize productivity and stimulate industriousness within the academic community towards achieving optimum educational institution growth mechanism (EIGM) in the long run. With the Gantt chart, noticeable achievements can be observed among faculty members within the institution, as well as in terms of societal development.
