1, select the appropriate journals according to the contents of academic papers.

Irrelevant papers are definitely not graded. The same is true for submission. Your article has nothing to do with what the magazine wants, and it will be rejected in minutes. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the contents of your own papers and choose the appropriate journals before submitting.

For a simple example, if you study the intestine, and you submit to a magazine in the cardiovascular field, it goes without saying that once you submit, you will be rejected.

Therefore, before submitting the manuscript, it is recommended to search more websites such as Google and Metz Medicine. , determine the relevant journals in your own field, select a few suitable ones and put them in your own alternative submission magazines, and then consider them.

2, according to the requirements of the journal to prepare the corresponding contribution materials.

The submission materials are varied, including a cover letter to the editor-in-chief, all the documents of the paper (including text draft, related pictures and video tables and anything that supports our article), and information on funding.

In terms of details, each magazine has some differences. I suggest you read more about the author's guide in the official website submission interface of the magazine before submitting, and carefully understand the requirements of the magazine for your manuscript, including the overall framework, text format, picture clarity, file size, etc., which will be described in detail.

3. Upload all submitted materials and documents.

After preparing all the materials according to the requirements of the journal, we can register our personal account on the submission website, log on to the submission website and start submitting.

The submission system will ask you to upload relevant documents in turn, fill in all the author information, and fill in some fund information. Finally, generate a preview in pdf format. At this time, we can check whether there are any omissions or errors in the whole pdf file, and if there are, we can go back and edit it again.

When the inspection is correct, you can confirm the approval. At this point, the submission is over, and the status of the manuscript will be displayed (the manuscript has been submitted).

4. Wait for the review results and related treatment.

After submission, there will be the following process, of course, different journals are not exactly the same.

After three or four days, the manuscript will be sent to the editor-in-chief At this point, With Editor will be displayed. If the editor-in-chief approves your article, it will be assigned to the deputy editor-in-chief and the status will be displayed as "under review".

Review time varies from two weeks to several months according to different magazines. At this time, the deputy editor-in-chief will send the article to two or three reviewers, which is called external review.

After a long wait, the status changes to "Approval Required", which means that the approval has ended, and the deputy editor-in-chief has compiled the reviewer's opinions and sent them back to the editor.

Finally, your manuscript was returned to the editor. At this time, the status will show that the decision is in progress, and the editor will convene an editorial discussion according to the feedback to finally determine the result.

Possible results returned:

Generally speaking, the possibility of accepting direct withdrawal is very small, and there will always be some opinions.

A small revision of the legendary minor repairs.

Legendary overhaul of major modifications.

Both cases need to be checked one by one according to the returned revision opinions, so as to make up the experiment and revise the article to meet the requirements of the reviewers. When it returns to the magazine, it will be sent back to the reviewer for another round of review.

Refuse to reject the manuscript. The reasons include things that don't meet our requirements, poor quality of manuscripts and so on. At this time, you have to settle for the second best, and choose other magazines with lower requirements among the alternative magazines to re-submit.
