7. ‘Do I have a story to tell?’ Editors and reviewers look for original
and innovative research that adds to their field of study, or
immediately impacts patient care.
Your conclusions must be sound and based on sufficiently robust
data.
‘Is there an audience for my research indings?’ The more original
and innovative your research, the more people will be interested.
Identifying your audience is a major factor in selecting the right
journal to submit your manuscript to.

8. There are several types of research articles:
1. Letters and rapid or short communications: quick and
early communication of significant or original
advances, without including too much data or details.
2.Review papers : summarize recent developments on a
specific topic, without introducing new data.
3. Full articles : contain significant data, details,
developments and outcomes.
4.Microarticle format enables you to publish research
output, such as data, software, methods, videos and
much more.

9. I- Find the right journal
Finding the right journal for your article can be key to reaching your target audience.
| 2
• Take into consideration the type of article you’d like to publish (full
length, letter, review, microarticle)
• Check the references in your article (especially in the introduction
section), to give an indication of possible journals of interest
• Read the journal’s aims and scope on the journal homepage
• Read or download the journal’s Guide for Authors
• Check if the journal is invitation-only; some journals only accept
articles ater inviting the author to submit
• Check the journal’s performance for review and publication
timelines
• If you need to publish open access, remember that most journals
explain their open access options on the journal homepage
• Submit your paper to only one journal at a time

10. JOURNAL FINDER
- Some publishers provide the Journal Finder/selector tool
to locates (Springer and Elsevier) journals that most
closely match your abstracts.
-A journal recommended if it published articles that are
highly similar to yours.
-A list of relevant articles is generated, and the tool can
filter on your preferred criteria, such as open access
options, impact factor, review time, acceptance rate and
production time. .

11. JOURNAL METRICS
-Journal metrics help you select the most appropriate journal for
your article.
-Alongside the journal’s scope, editorial board, international
outlook and audience, help find the best destination for your
research.
Different types of journal metrics
Look at more than one metric to help you make your decision.
You’ll find a dedicated Journal Insights section on many of journal
home pages, giving information about the journal’s:
• Speed – review speed and online publication time
• Reach – geographic location of corresponding authors and
journal usage
• Impact – impact metrics based on citations received by articles

12. The Journal Insights section on journal homepage has several impact metrics, all consider
citations received per article.

OPEN ACCESS OPTIONS
Open accessstands for the free and permanent accessto published
research, combined with clear guidelines for readersto share and use the
content.

17. -Some funding bodies or institutions have a policy on public
access to research.
- It’s important to know the open access policy of your
institution or funding body before you decide whether or not
to publish open access.

18. II-Prepare your paper
YOUR MANUSCRIPT
Title
-The title is the main advertisement for your article. Agreat title entices the
audience to read on; apoorly-titled article may never reachits target readers.
-Your article’stitle should relect its content clearly, enabling readers to decide
whether it’srelevant for them.
-Makethe title catchyand keep it specific.
-Remember, that abstracting and indexing services depend on accurate titles;
they extractkeywords from them for cross-referencing.

19. Why‘The efect of heating the albumen and vitellus of the Gallus gallus
domesticus contained in calcium carbonate in H2O to 373.15 K’ when
‘Boiling achicken egg in water’ saysit?
Essentially, effective titles:
• identify the article’s main issue
• begin with the article’s subject matter
• are accurate, unambiguous, specific and (when possible) complete
• are as short as possible
• are enticing and interesting; they make people want to read further

20. Authors
Only authors who’ve made an intellectual contribution to the research
should be credited; those who’ll take responsibility for the data and
conclusions, and who’ve approved the final manuscript. The order of
credited names can vary between disciplines; the corresponding author may
not always be the first author.
Keywordlist
Most journals request a list of keywords; important words that, along with
those in the title, capture the research effectively. Keywords are used by
abstracting and indexing services; choosing the right ones can increase the
chances of your article being found by other researchers.
Abstract
The abstract is your chance to describe your research in 200-300 words – so
use it wisely. Together, the title and abstract should be able to fully
represent your article, including for use by indexing services. Many authors
write the abstract last, so it reflects the content accurately.

21. The bodyof the text
- Make the introduction brief.
- Should provide context and background, but not be a history
lesson.
- Should state the problem being investigated, its contextual
background, and the reasons for conducting the research.
- State the questions you’re answering and explain any indings of
others that you’re challenging or furthering.
-Brifely and logically lead the reader to your hypotheses, research
questions, and experimental design or method.

22. Method:(also called Materials and Methods or Experimental Methods)
-This section should be detailed enough that readers can replicate your
research, and assesswhether the methods justify the conclusions.
-It’s advisable to use the past tense – it’s about what you did – and avoid using
the first person, although this will vary from journal to journal.
-Ultimately, you should explain how you studied the problem, identify the
procedures you followed, and structure this information as logically as
possible.
-If your methods are new, you’ll need to explain them in detail. If they’ve
been published before, cite the original work, including your amendments
if you’ve made modifications.
-Identify the equipment and the materials you used, specifying their
source.
-State the frequency of observations and what types of data were recorded.
Give precise measurements, stating their strengths and weaknesses when
necessary.
-Name any statistical tests, so your quantitative results can be judged.

23. -If your research involved human participants, animals, stem cells or other
biohazard materials, you’ll need to include certain information in the ethics
statement, such as committee approvals and permission to publish.
-You should also explain your criteria for selecting participants.
Results
-This section should present your findings objectively, explaining them
largely in text.
-It’s where you show how your results contribute to the body of scientific
knowledge, so be clear and logical.
-And it’s
important not to interpret your results – that comes in the Discussion &
Conclusions section.
-you can base the sequence of this text on the tables, figures and graphs that best
present your findings. Emphasize any significant findings clearly.
-Tables and figures must be numbered separately; figures should have a brief
but complete description – a legend – that reveals how the data was produced.

24. Discussion & Conclusions
-This is where you describe the meaning of your results, especially in the context
of what was already known about the subject.
-You can present general and speciic conclusions, but take care not to summarize
your article – that’s what the abstract is for.
-You should link this section back to the introduction, referring to your
questions or hypotheses, and cover how the results relate to your expectations and
cited sources.
-Do the results support or contradict existing theories? Are there any limitations?
You can also suggest further experiments, uses and extensions.
-Above all, the discussion should explain how your research has moved the body
of scientiic knowledge forward. Your conclusions must be supportable and not
extend beyond your results, so avoid undue speculation and bold judgments
about impact.
-This is also a good place to suggest practical applications for your results, and to
outline what the next steps in your research will be.

25. To summarize, make sure that:
• your results directly support your conclusions
• you use specific expressions and quantitative descriptions – ‘12
degrees higher’ instead of ‘a higher temperature’
• you only discuss what you defined early in the paper – don’t
introduce the reader to a whole new vocabulary. If you missed
an important term, go back to the introduction and insert it
• all interpretations and speculations are based on fact, not
imagination

26. Acknowledgments
-Keep acknowledgements brief, naming those helped with your
research; contributors, or suppliers who provided free materials.
-Disclose any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that
could be seen to influence your results or interpretations.
References
-New research builds on previously published work, which should
always be acknowledged.
-Any information that isn’t ‘common knowledge’, or generated by
your experiments, must be recognized with a citation; and quoted
text should be within quotation marks, and include a reference.
-The format of citations and references varies, so you should refer
to the Guide for Authors for the journal you’re submitting to.

27. LANGUAGE QUALITY
A scientific article should report your findings and conclusions as clearly
and concisely as possible. To achieve this:
• Try to avoid unnecessary words or phrases – keep it simple
• Use active writing when possible. For example, ‘Carbon dioxide was
consumed by the plant’ is passive. Active writing shortens this phrase to,
‘The plant consumed carbon dioxide’ – which is much snappier
• Tense is important. For known facts and hypotheses, use the present tense:
‘The average life expectancy of a honey bee is six weeks.’ But use the past
tense when referring to experiments you’ve conducted: ‘All the honey bees
were maintained in an environment with a consistent temperature of
23°C.’ And also use the past tense to describe results: ‘The average life span
of bees in our contained environment was eight weeks.’

28. Some publishers provide editing services to
help ensure that your work is written in
correct scientiic English before submission,
and that your paper is free of grammatical,
spelling, and other common errors.
Translation services are also available from
or into Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic,
Turkish, Russian, German, Italian, Japanese,
Korean and many more languages.

29. ILLUSTRATIONS
Submitting any illustrations, figures or other artwork – like multimedia and
supplementary files – in an electronic format means that we can produce your
work to the best possible standard, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of
detail.
CONTENT INNOVATION
Content innovations present your work in a more
powerful form. Features such as the Virtual Microscope,
Interactive Map Viewer and 3D Molecular Models can
increase your article’s value.

30. AUDIOSLIDES
- AudioSlides are short, webcast-style presentations that let you
present your research in your own words.
- Elsevier/PloS/Oxford University Press offer the option of
creating your own unique AudioSlides presentation; appearing
alongside your published article, it complements your research
and gives readers a succinct overview of your article’s content.
- AudioSlides are free to access and can be shared – independently
of the article – with colleagues, influential bloggers and on
social media, including YouTube

31. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACTS
-A graphical abstract is a visual summary of your article’s
main findings.
-Placed along with your article on some publishers’ websites,
graphical abstracts also turn up in online search results and
help people to see your article’s key points at a glance.
- You can use your graphical abstract as a promotional tool
by tweeting it, sharing it on social media or sending it to an
influential blogger, and it is always linked to your article.

36. ADDING DATA
Sharing research data is a good scientiic practice; sharing makes your scientific
findings reproducible and helps others to build upon them.
ETHICS
-Understanding the boundaries in scientific research and publishing is a key
step in making sure your work gets of to the best start.
-Scientiic misconduct and breach of publishing ethics can take diferent forms,
and be committed knowingly or unknowingly.

37. • Authorship disputes – deliberately misrepresenting a
scientist’s relationship with published work
• Conlict of interest – not disclosing to a journal that you have a
direct or indirect conlict which prevents you from being
unbiased
• Plagiarism – passing of another’s work or idea as your own
• Simultaneous submission – submitting a paper to more than
one publication at the same time
• Research fraud – including fabrication (making up research data)
and falsiication (manipulating research data, tables or images)
• Salami slicing – the ‘slicing-up’ of research that would form
one meaningful paper into several diferent papers
Details will be displayed later

38. SEOYOUR ARTICLE
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps to ensure that your
article appears higher in the results returned by search
engines such as Google.
-This can mean you attract more readers, gain higher
visibility in the academic community, and potentially
increase citations.

39. Tips for SEO include:
• Use keywords, especially in the title and abstract
• Add captions with keywords to all photographs, images,
graphs and tables
• Add titles or subheadings (with keywords) to the different
sections of your article
• Make sure there are as many links as possible to your
article, e.g., from your institute’s website, Wikipedia,
LinkedIn, blogs and social media

40. III-Submit and revise your paper
Once you’ve checked (and re-checked!) your manuscript,
you’re ready to submit it to the journal editor via the
submission and peer review system.
1. HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER?
Submission is simple: direct links for registration and
log-in are provided from our journals’ Guide for Authors.

42. 2.PEERREVIEW
After submission, each manuscript is checked for plagiarism, and assessed
carefully to determine if it its the aims and scope of the journal. If journal
representatives are enthusiastic about the work, the journal editor will appoint
reviewers.
What doesthe peer reviewerdo?
1-Determine the validity, significance and originality of the work, suggest
improvements to the manuscript. On their recommendation, editors will accept,
accept with revisions, or reject a manuscript.
2-To make good judgments, peer reviewers use their own checklists to evaluate the
content for scientific value and originality, to seethat articles adhere to general
scientific practice.
3- Will look closely at your methodology and the validity of your data, and
consider your ethical approach.

• Single blind
– Reviewer knows identity of authors. Authors don’t find
out identity of reviewers.
• Open
– Identity of authors, reviewers known to all
– Often reviews are published with the article.

48. Editors are looking for work that
is….
• Important
• Informative
• Novel
• Ethical

49. Editors use the Reviews
• Once reviews are in the editor reads the
paper and the reviews
• The editor, not the reviewer, makes the
decision about the paper
• Reviewers’ comments are valuable, but
reviewers are only consultants to the
thinking process

67. VI- Monitor your impact
It’s worth bearing in mind that your peers
and tutors monitor your impact

68. - Submit your article to the most appropriate place,
- Position yourself by proactively supplying information
about your own performance.

69. If you’re at an early stage in your career, you can use metrics that
don’t require longer timeframes:
• Collaboration – how big is your network? What’s the status of
colleagues in your network? Where in the world are they
located?
• Scholarly output – how productive are you?
• Usage – how often have your publications been viewed?
• Altmetrics – how many times is your output shared in
collaboration networks like Mendeley or on social media?
• Journal status – what’s the status of the journals that have
published your work?

70. When you’re at a later stage in your research career, with a
sizeable output and an impressive number of citations, further
metrics can then become useful:
• Citation count – how many citations has your articles
received?
• Outstanding articles – which of your articles are in the
top percentile of comparable articles?
• h-index – this rates your entire publication career
based on both output and citation impact. (Anh-indexof

79. Checklist to identify reputable publishers by Declan Butler close: How to
perform due diligence before submitting to a journal or publisher?
1- Check that the publisher provides full, verifiable contact information, including
address, on the journal site.
2- Be cautious of those that provide only web contact forms.
3- Check that a journal's editorial board lists recognized experts with full
affiliations.
4- Contact some of them and ask about their experience with the journal or
publisher.
5- Check that the journal prominently displays its policy for author fees.
6- Be wary of e-mail invitations to submit to journals or to become editorial board
members.
7- Read some of the journal's published articles and assess their quality.
8- Contact past authors to ask about their experience.
9- Check that a journal's peer-review process is clearly described and try to
confirm that a claimed impact factor is correct.
10- Find out whether the journal is a member of an industry association that vets
its members, such as the Directory of Open Access Journals (www.doaj.org) or the
Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (www.oaspa.org).
