To achieve publication in a peer-reviewed journal, one must
communicate ideas or findings worthy of reporting. Content’
s worthiness is usually judged by its timeliness and
innovation. A new idea or fresh insight derived by accepted
standards and consistently and accurately presented is
always worth publishing, provided the contributor
acknowledges any underlying work performed by others,
and presents it in a professional manner. This means
writing a concise and rigorous paper, and ensuring that all
information is essential, all conclusions are supported, and
all findings are relevant.
