 As an editor, I will be looking at…
• Scope of the paper à who are the targeted readers?
• Novelty à has it (potentially) been published elsewhere?
• Scientific quality
• Language quality à use grammar checker software if needed
• Format
• Similarity rate

7
 As a reviewer, I will be looking at…
• Title
• Authors background
– try ‘google’ your name and title!
• Background
• Objectives
• State-of-the-art
– what makes your work stand-out compared to others?
• Discussion
• Conclusions and References
– is it systematic? Does the science make sense?

8
 A good paper should:
• Be clear and concise
• Do not use sentences that are way too long (ideally it should be shorter than 3 lines)
• Use simple sentences
• Less is better…
• Write down a strong introduction
• Convince your reader!
• Provide clear methodology/experimental methods
• Should be easy to repeat
• Show attractive images
• Be consistent
• Follow the journal requirements
• US vs British English, Figure vs Fig., subscription, etc

Tips:
Read more to write more

 Extra notes on do’s and don’ts…
ü Please DO NOT request for “Change of authorship” after acceptance (it happens many times)
ü Read reviewer’s comments CAREFULLY and follow them accordingly
ü Pay EXTRA attention to your Abstract, Conclusions and References
• Abstract should be concise and contains: background/motivation, objective, findings, conclusion.
DO NOT write down and abstract by simply copying & pasting parts of your manuscript.
• Conclusions should NOT contain any general/well-known knowledge and should NOT be presented
in bullet points.
• References should be min. 10-15 papers (check journal guidelines) and should be up to date. Follow
author guidelines strictly and use reference manager software if possible.

10
 Extra notes on do’s and don’ts…
ü Proofread your manuscript MULTIPLE TIMES before submission
• Take benefit of your co-authors!
• Stop and re-read your manuscript
ü DO NOT forget to prepare “Supporting Materials”, such as:
• Cover Letter
• Graphical abstract, table of contents, or highlights (if required)
• Reviewers suggestion
• Funding declaration
• CRediT author statement (author contribution)

THANK YOU and KEEP WRITING!!!
