your question is a good one, though, in my opinion, it is not as easy as it seems to provide a good answer. Hours and hours of writing would not be enough to reply to you exhaustively. Based on my experience, the main key to address so that you could succeed in publishing is to develop good works which, to make a long story short, means: an interesting, relevant and, possibly innvative, topic; a methodologically correct development of the study; and, a good set-up of the paper. The latter means, in turn: a literature review aimed at highlighting those studies which are relevant for developing your study and, as a result, at evidencing the novelty of the study itself and its contribution to enriching the international knowledge in the field; a comprehensive description of the methodology you have adopted; and, an equally comprehensive discussion and interpretation of the results you have gained. In this context, please do not underestimate the importance of the abstract which, indeed, could be considered as your business card. It should reflect paper's set-up and, therefore, provide an attempt to answer to the following questions: what is the problem that has been addressed; why has ti been addressed; what has been found and done to correct the problem; what new will the readers learn that will help them in their research works. Additionally, in the abstract there should be enough to make the reader download the article.
Sorry, my friend. I have forgotten to mention the conclusion section which should report also usuful recommendations based on the findings of the study and future perspectives.
In the beginning I would like to thank for the effort you exerted to write all this. I think that your answer was really obvious and it encouraged me to submit a paper for these journals in the future.
I would like to underline for those who will contribute to reply to this question: the importance of the abstract as you mentioned, which is neglected by many authors.
you are very welcomed. Believe me that it is a true pleasure to share with you and other colleagues of ours knowledge and expertise...otherwise learnning and both professional and personal improvement would not be possible.
thanks for the kind words. It always has to do with "hard working"...during the whole process of paper writing and further revision. Everytime I have had a paper published it has been for me like I had passed an important examination. Publishing is so challenging, but so rewarding at the same time. And there is always something new to be learned on writing top quality papers. Therefore, I wish to you...to me myself...and to reaserchers and authors from all over the word...to keep up the great work!!!
