First of all, the minimum "elements" should be complete. For example, the contributor's name, address, zip code (even QQ, phone number, mobile phone number, etc. ) are the most common without zip codes (more common in counties and cities of Sanmenxia). If an editor receives a contribution with incomplete elements, he will think that the contributor is a careless person. There are often some contributions, which will be published soon. Suddenly, somewhere needs to be checked again. The editor was unable to communicate because he didn't have the phone number of the contributor, so he had to abandon the manuscript. By the time I contacted the contributor in a roundabout way, the manuscript that I didn't send last time was too early.
Second, the title should be able to attract editors (the recommended draft is not needed, it is already available). If you are an acquaintance (know the editor), it is best to add the words "Zhang San or Li Si" in the title area. In addition, the title is the "hat" of an article. Editors often see the titles of dozens of contributions when they open their mailboxes. Which title can catch the editor's eye in a few seconds, he may click, that is, whether the color of the hat is "bright" is very important, but it should not be too out of line, too empty and too fancy, and the title does not match, which will have a negative impact-the editor will feel cheated after reading it, and the contributor will have a bad impression. The title should be accurate and concise, with a high degree of generality and the finishing touch.
Third, we should respect editors. Don't think this requirement of the editor is "excessive". If the "elements" of submission are not all disrespect for editors, then too many typos or sentences are mostly not fluent, or major mistakes, such as celebrity names (famous sentences), historical materials, domain names, and even political mistakes, are fatal and probably impressive. Although editors have been severely punished countless times, most of them have mastered the ability to detect major mistakes, but some fields (cross-industry and interdisciplinary) are beyond the reach of editors. Therefore, contributors must make the first pass. People in our "industry" contribute to the outside world, and each manuscript is revised at least four or five times before we can vote. Before voting, they repeatedly checked whether the elements were complete and whether there were any major mistakes. And everything felt ok, and then they voted carefully. You are not required to find out small mistakes such as "punctuation, melodramatic, success", but please try to correct them several times. Some contributors, in thirty-four words, account for almost one-third of normal mistakes. Such a manuscript not only left a very bad impression on the editor, but also wasted his precious time. He will "remember" you, and even many editors will "remember" you when they communicate in circles. By the same token, whoever has fewer low-level mistakes is easy to edit, and will soon be praised by many editors in the circle, which is more conducive to hitting the key. Respect is mutual and beneficial.
Fourth, don't be afraid of failure. I often meet some contributors. If the submission is unsuccessful, I will call or email and say how well I wrote, but you didn't send it to me ... This attitude shows that your psychology is not mature enough, you are not calm enough when things happen, and your thoughts may be extreme. What articles are guaranteed to be published? "Self-righteousness" is very irrational, and it will also leave a bad impression in the circle (it is easy to be "banned" by most editors). There are many reasons why the manuscript has not been adopted, and even sometimes it has been put on the page, and there is still the possibility of being squeezed by advertisements and winning; Some people, if one or two votes are not adopted, will be disheartened and will never vote again. Writing articles is caused by interest. If you write it, modify it yourself. Try it if you have the opportunity. Why not? Whether it can be adopted!
5. Pay attention when sending an email: Pay attention to whether punctuation marks such as commas, periods and semicolons in font input are normal when typing an article. If you write an article of 1500 words, all written in "English", I have to correct it one by one! Wasted a lot of my time.
Please don't send pictures with "attachment". First, if you can't see the text after clicking the title, you should click "Attachment" again. Sometimes I can't open the "attachment" because of the wrong format, and sometimes I don't click the "attachment" because I'm afraid of the virus-I quit choosing other people's submissions (isn't it painful? ); When writing in a "text document" or "Ward" (haha), spaces are typed up to four times at the beginning of another paragraph. Please don't "press the space bar to start the paragraph again". Please don't press the space bar to center the subtitles (it seems to be in the center of your computer, but my computer is not). To start a paragraph again, just press enter to start the paragraph, and press the spacebar four times. The biggest headache is that there are many spaces when editing and copying manuscripts! Please don't design the delivery method of "colored stationery", please don't use oversize font, please use normal small font size 55, please don't use Solra's multi-lines, please don't say some polite words like "Hello" or "yearning for you" ... like an endless river ... When editing, copying and inputting manuscripts, everything can start faster and more conveniently. Many small details may be lost if you don't pay attention. For example, if someone submits a manuscript with a large font, it takes two or three steps to copy one of his manuscripts. If you press the normal No.5 word, the editor can copy it successfully with a light brush, put it into a text document, and then enter it into the manuscript library of the editing platform. Everything needs to be done quickly. The editor doesn't click on the e-submission: the title is displayed as "Untitled", "Courtesy is the title" and "Please use it" ...
