TRANSCRIPT
Hi there. I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
Today I am going to talk how to submit an article to a scholarly journal for possible publication.
So, you have done the research. You have compiled your data and drawn your conclusions. Your manuscript or paper is written. You have had colleagues and friends give you feedback and you have made appropriate changes. You have had it proofread by a friend. Now it is game time. You want to submit the manuscript for publication in a peer review journal. But how do you proceed?
First, draft a list of possible journals for consideration. Hopefully, you know and read these journals religiously. This will help to decide which journal to try first, based on its niche.
Next, go to your top targeted journal and read their Guidelines for Authors or Information for Authors. Study it and ensure you are in 100% compliance, such as with their requested page count, reference style, types of manuscripts they seek.
Third, consider whether you should query the editor of the journal about their interest in the submission. Some journals encourage this, some allow it, and some don’t address queries without the manuscript.
Now you are ready. Most journals will use a manuscript submission tracking system. Popular ones are Editorial Manager by Aries Systems, ScholarOne by Clarivate Analytics, and others.
When you find get to journal’s page for submission, your first step will likely be registration. You will create an account that you will potentially use to check back in on its progress.
Next you will need to enter into the system information about your manuscript. This will include title, authors including contact information and degrees, keywords, and more. Likely, you and the co-authors will need to sign a conflict of interest statement as well as potential financial disclosures.
Next you will upload the manuscript. The text part of the manuscript will be separate, as might the abstract. After that, you will upload the various components such as tables, figures, videos, or more. Most journals have exacting requirements as to the format and size of the files.
The journal might then display a PDF or complied version of the paper for you to approve.
The final step is, although for some journals it might be earlier in the process, is signing a copyright statement or form. All authors of the paper will need to read and sign it, likely electronically. You may need to acknowledge any fees such as an APC or author processing charge for an open access journal, but they are usually not due at this stage.
You may also be asked for colleagues in your area of specialty to submit your article to for peer review, but they are likely to have their own list as well.
From there, the journal and peer review process take over. Each journal has a slightly different procedure, but they all roughly follow these steps. Good luck with publication.
Well that’s it. I am a publishing consultant and work with associations, publishers, and individuals on a host of content related challenges. Reach out to me at RiverwindsConsulting.com with your questions.
