Ms. Smart, your time was well spent. I am a non-profit grant reviewer in Wisconsin. My current life situation makes working outside of the home impossible, so I chose to edit. When I read articles in a newspaper or a magazine with misspellings, it takes away my trust. I would enjoy peer reviewing in the future and am gathering knowledge to do so. I am extremely impressed with the level of good, solid information and the honesty in which you presented it. Thank you. Time is money, and my time was well spent learning from you. Michelle Cole
How to improve acceptance rate: 1) Editors are not experts in your field - write such that they could recognize preciousness of your paper. 2) Intrigue the editors, reviewers and readers 3) Give a clear message of your work + write clearly and concisely. 4) Strive to get more citations. 5) BUT do not exaggerate your claims.
What happens after you submit your paper: 1) It goes right to an editor, who quickly checks whether your paper fits journal. 2) If it is fine, the editor starts to search 3 reviewers that takes sometime (suggest some reviewers) 3) Reviewers start to read paper, but since they are busy, they miss all deadlines. Eventually review takes 2 months. 4) Editor checks reviews and decides: (1) accept; (2) reject; (3) revision required.
A great presentation in content and style, very clear, honest and structured. I have struggled to figure out the publishing process myself, after this lecture I feel like I understand a bit better what's going on in the editors' offices. Which is quite important if you want (and I guess one should) to think things from the end, and to write an article not just for the sake of it, but for the scientific community to be accessible. Thanks a lot for bringing light into this sometimes dark and cloudy subject!
Watched this after having gone through that process with a book I submitted to (respectable) series. Since it was my PhD thesis I hadn’t had much experience. Peer review is a nerve wrecking experience, especially if you are under time pressure. I had to request an extension for publication from my Faculty. Perhaps just a minor administrative issue, but nonetheless putting you under stress.
the bad news takes time but good news travels quickly if you get a quick message it is actually more likely to be negative so if you are kept waiting it's not always a bad thing
There is no concrete instructions, just a general advice. Something like: "How to heal a cancer? Be strong and believe!". It seems that you better to read the book "What editors want" by Benson & Silver.
It's a while ago now that we prepared this video, but at the time I was working with Mario Crispino, Freelance Cameraman and Editor who did the production work behind the scenes. There were some expensive out-of-the-box solutions at the time but he was able to find a more cost-effective approach of his own. If you want to follow up with Mario, see his LinkedIn page is at www.linkedin.com/in/mariocrispino/
ع Hello thank you very much for this wonderful explanation and thank you for all this important information I want to ask you Can you advise me I hear some health care magazines to be cheap I mean the publishing fee is cheap because I found many areas of health care is too expensive or is there A special site in scientific journals with a good but cheap effect coefficient I mean cheap that does not exceed the publishing thresholds about $ 200 Thank you
Does this not make anybody else angry? It's absolutely outrageous! What makes these people more qualified than scientists at determining what information is available?
In my field editors almost always are scientists themselves. I still believe science needs to open up in general, including publishing. There is so much being afraid of "bad science" that too often one ends up defending exactly that. A democratic science will need to live with bullshit, but it will also assure that there is people calling it out for what it is.

A thorough explanation. This is what I need to know before submission

A lot of the journals that want your money tend to be predatory ie. not legitimate journals.. There are plenty of free journals to submit to..
Zac Macchesney could you suggest some Journals thank you very much for your response

Does this not make anybody else angry? It's absolutely outrageous! What makes these people more qualified than scientists at determining what information is available?
It used to upset me. But I've learned to accept it (without peer-review).
In my field editors almost always are scientists themselves. I still believe science needs to open up in general, including publishing. There is so much being afraid of "bad science" that too often one ends up defending exactly that. A democratic science will need to live with bullshit, but it will also assure that there is people calling it out for what it is.
I love that accent
