Dear all, pls give me the instructions to publish a journal paper. which are the good ones for publishing journals. i'm a beginner in this field .pls help
Given the ever increasing number of manuscripts submitted for publication, the process of preparing a manuscript well enough to have it accepted by a journal can be daunting. High-impact journals accept less than 10 percent of the articles submitted to them, although the acceptance ratio for special issues or special topics sections is normally over 40 percent.
The advice offered here is not exhaustive but it’s also not difficult to implement.
There are some steps to publishing in journals before you hit “submit,” here’s a checklist .
1- Do not rush submitting your article for publication.
2- Select an appropriate publication outlet.
3- Read the aims and scope and author guidelines of your target journal carefully.
4. Make a good first impression with your title and abstract.
5. Have a professional editing firm copy-edit (not just proofread) your manuscript, including the main text, list of references, tables and figures.
