1, check the manuscript carefully before submitting it.
Be sure to check your manuscript carefully before submitting it. Don't have too many spaces in the content of the article, because spaces are also included in the calculation of the page fee, so don't spend unnecessary expenses.
2. Understand the requirements of the other magazine for the manuscript format before submitting the manuscript.
When submitting a manuscript, you'd better look at the article format of the magazine you contributed, and you'd better modify it according to the format of that magazine. In this case, the editor will be very kind at first glance, hehe, a little speculative.
3. Statistical medical papers.
For statistical design in medical papers, we can find professionals to deal with the articles.
4. Don't use online translation.
For English abstracts of medical papers, we should not simply use online translation software, but find full-time translators to translate and polish the abstracts.
5. Indicate the author's email address and telephone number when submitting the manuscript.
Leaving detailed contact information has two advantages: first, it is convenient for the magazine to communicate with the author in time; Second, it is convenient for magazines to distribute magazines to authors.
6. Avoid multiple submissions.
Many authors have an idea that "more than one manuscript is likely to win the bid". Xuanwei medical editor reminded that more than one draft can't be cast. Before submission, it is very useful to make statistics on the submission of the department, and to measure and classify a journal with the standards of fast manuscript processing, good service attitude and fast magazine mailing speed.
7. Track the progress of manuscript processing.
Many authors generally don't know the progress of their manuscripts. A good magazine takes three months to process manuscripts. Under normal circumstances, the author can make three phone calls. Make a phone call one month after submission (usually the external audit will come back); You should make a phone call two weeks after the editor sends back the revised manuscript and ask if the manuscript revision is in place and when it will be published; The third call is to call the editor after receiving the proof and tell him if there are any major changes, so that we both have a good idea (because the proof is sometimes sent slowly, and it is difficult to change it in case the magazine is sent to the printing plant).
8. Revise the manuscript according to the editor's opinion.
Generally, editors like authors to make corrections according to their own comments. If you have different opinions, you can annotate them or express them in different colors.
9. Submit at least 6 months in advance.
When to submit a manuscript, it is recommended to submit it half a year before the month when you need to be promoted, so there is a great chance that it will be published before the promotion.
