“Writing Successful Covering Letters for Unsolicited Submissions to Academic Journals: Comment” by Stephen K. Donovan

Attention contributors!Don’t forget to give us your social media aliases (Twitter handle/Facebook page) and/or that of your institution, so that we can link to you in our marketing.

WhY TITLeS, AbSTRAcTS AnD KeYWORDS ARe IMPORTAnT

An effectively written title and abstract with carefully chosen keywords can greatly improve your article’s search engine optimization (SeO), improve your Google search ranking, boost your citation metrics, increase your readership and impress your tenure committee!

Your article title should be descriptive and frank. Unlike human readers, search engines do not understand semantics and irony—so make sure your title (or at least your subtitle) can be taken literally. The abstract and keywords can strongly influence an article’s online worth to readers, and both must be carefully considered and constructed very early on in the article’s development. Readers should know whether or not they want to read your entire article just by reading the abstract and keywords.

An effective abstract and must do the following things:

It must motivate – Why do we care about the problem and the results?

It must provide a problem statement – What problem are you trying to solve?

It must describe an approach – How did you go about solving or making progress on the problem?

It must describe the results – What's the answer?

It must summarize the conclusions – What are the implications of your answer?

The best keywords are not just individual words, but 2- to 4-word plain-language phrases that precisely describe your work (words that researchers might type into a search engine).

Page 9: Author Resource Kit 2014 - University of Toronto Press · ARK - Author Resource Kit 2014 University of Toronto Press Journals 3 ... refine the content. Editing stages commence once

University of Toronto Press Journals 9

Common mistakes in choosing article keywords:

Using single-word terms

Choosing terms that are too broad and not focused on your work

Using terms that are too specialized, which nobody searches for

For examples of how you can improve your ability to write effective abstracts, see James Hartley’s article in the Journal of Scholarly Publishing, “Making the Journal Abstract More concrete”

Many considerations must go into making an article fit for online use. Learn about these in Jöran Beel et al.’s article “Academic Search engine Optimization (ASeO): Optimizing Scholarly Literature for Google Scholar & co” in the Journal of Scholarly Publishing.

Boost Citations and Readership!

Publish in a well-read, well-respected journal

Make sure your article can be found online easily - choose your title and keywords carefully

entice readers with a carefully constructed abstract

Talk, blog, promote your article and link to the original version

Join the conversation in your research community - go to conferences, follow and comment on blogs and social media, network with researchers in the field, write a review, present a paper, publize yourself, etc.

IMAGe PeRMISSIOnS

Planning on using images or videos, or quoting poetry or song lyrics in your article? Read this first!

UTP requires the formal written permission from the copyright holder to publish images (including screen captures), videos, or excerpts from poetry or songs. You are responsible for any costs associated with those permissions. Permissions must be forwarded to UTP no later than the copy-editing stage in the publishing of your article.

It is a good idea to seek permission as early as possible after your receive your acceptance letter, as this can be a lengthy process.

When asking for permission from copyright holders, note that UTP requires permission to publish the work, in perpetuity, in print, online, and through third-party aggregators (electronic database providers) such as Project MUSe.

You must pay any costs associated with purchasing images from copyright holders (e.g., online image databases).

note that UTP publishes under canadian copyright law, not US copyright law. “fair use” does not apply under canadian copyright law. The canadian equivalent is called “fair dealing.” More information on fair dealing, see section 29, “exceptions,” especially sub-sections 29.1–29.3, which deal with fair dealing.

Image qualityOnce you’ve obtained the necessary permissions to use your images, be sure to provide your images in JPeG, PDf or TIff formats with a resolution of 300 dpi minimum, 600 dpi or higher is preferred. If you are unsure of the resolution of your image, please check it in your image software. for Videos: please submit h.264 encoded formats such as .mp4.

University of Toronto Press Journals 11

Did you know?It’s not just about text: Many UTP journals offer the option of including full-colour images, audio and video, and supplementary data files in the online version of your article. Talk to the journal editor or editorial assistant, your copy editor, or your production editor to find out more.

While images typically appear in black and white in print journals, online versions can accommodate colour images, video and audio. If you have visual or audio material that is relevant to your article, please submit for inclusion in the online version of the journal.

name your images using your last name and a figure number, reflecting the order of appearance in your text; for example, if your name is Stewart Smith and you have five images in your text, name them Smithfig1, Smithfig2, and so on. Image captions and image credits are also required for each image submitted and should be similarly labelled.

CaptionsAll captions and photo credits should be included at the time of submission.

Permissions Checklist

Required permissions obtained and available to forward to UTP for records

DOI (DIGITAL ObJecT IDenTIfIeR)

What is a DOI?

A DOI is an article’s unique identifier, registered with crossRef (see crossRef fAQs) and used to create a persistent link to the article – even if the article moves. (A journal might switch from one online hosting service to another, for example; the URL will change, but the DOI link will follow it.) A reader using the online version of an article’s reference list can click on any DOI link to immediately get to the cited source; a reader using the print version can be sure of finding exactly the right article by searching the DOI instead of the author(s) or article title. each of our online articles has its own DOI, which can be used to link back to it from other documents that cite it; including DOI links in our reference lists is the other end of that process (sort of like using recycled paper as well as recycling used paper). The more citations include DOIs, the more researchers will use them, which ultimately will drive more readership to our content.

We hope that our contributors will value publishing with UTP and use a link back to our UTP Journals website in order to view the published article. by linking your article back to the UTP Journals site with the others in the issue, you have the credibility of publishing with a respected academic press, you can receive readership stats (the number of times your article is viewed), you can have audio or video clips added to your article, and you can view cross-references of your article.

TOP 9 ReASOnS TO LInK TO The VeRSIOn Of RecORD When promoting your article, it’s always best to link back to the original. here’s why:

1. Your article appears at the UTP site, where other important scholars and researchers publish their work.

2. Usage on your article will be centralized in one spot. If you need statistics, contact UTP and we will send those to you.

3. UTP actively promotes your article to its wide network of potential readers.

4. citations to your article will appear right next to your article. See here for an example.

5. Your article’s DOI is a persistent link that will always point to the official article.

6. Posting your article to free sites will compromise the ability of the journal, you contribute to to generate the revenue needed to support the journal’s publishing activities.

7. The journal (or UTP) will support the migration of your article to new formats far in the future. Revenue from subscriptions will allow the journal to accomplish this.

8. The connection between your article and the journal in which it appears is clear in the official publication version – a clear indication of the article’s quality and peer-reviewed status. This may not be evident to a reader who finds the article on SSRn or a similar site.

9. The version of record of your article gives readers direct access to any supplemental materials such as video, appendices and data sets.

The cOPY-eDITInG PROceSS

An article that is accepted after peer review moves on to the editing stages of the publishing process. The goal of copy editing is making sure that each journal contribution is published with the best possible editorial accuracy. We take pride in our journals' editorial standards and in ensuring that your contribution is aligned with these standards. Our journals remain trusted research tools for institutions and scholars alike in large part thanks to consistent and careful copy editing for journal styles, documentation styles, and mechanical errors, aas well as helpful stylistic suggestions. The copy-editing process adapts your work the journal’s house style and corrects written english and french; it does not alter your voice as the author.

The following steps explain how the copy-editing process works:

1. The file is prepared for copy-editing and production using software that formats it for XML-related production processes. Style labels are imposed on paragraphs, headings, and so on, to prepare it for typesetting.

2. The copy editor reads each file and imposes house style (standard journal style for punctuation, spelling, capitalization, etc.). he or she also makes any necessary grammatical corrections. All changes are tracked in Word.

3. The copy editor enters any queries about citation information, permissions, and so on in comments in the Word file.

4. The copy editor emails the author the finished file (with tracked changes invisible).

5. The author sends the file back to the copy editor with his or her changes tracked and ensures all the queries are answered in comments.

6. The article is then sent to typesetting and enters the production phase.

University of Toronto Press Journals 19

The PRODUcTIOn PROceSSThe production process begins after the copy-editing stage is complete. The goal of production is to ensure accurate and consistent quality and the timely production of our journals. During this phase, authors and editors have an opportunity to review typeset proofs before the content is published.

1. Typesetters generate first proofs in PDf and the Production coordinator (Pc) distributes the files to the authors, editors and proofreaders. Once the Pc receives the proofs back, they are marked up and corrections are sent back to the typesetters to produce second proof PDfs.

2. When the Pc receives the second proofs from the typesetters, they are checked against the marked-up first proofs and corrections are sent back to the typesetter, who produces a third set of PDf proofs.

3. The Pc receives the third proofs from the typesetters and checks them against the marked-up second proof file. Once all content is verified, the Pc will request the printer-ready PDf files.

4. A contributor list is sent to circulation department, which generates the print run.

5. The Pc receives the printer-ready PDf files from the typesetter and checks for any last items that may be outstanding or need to be corrected. The cover file and any advertisements are added to the printer-ready PDf.

6. The issue is sent to print. If the journal is hosted online, the Pc will upload Web-ready files to the online host(s). The Pc checks them to ensure all elements are present and correct.

7. Once printed, the issue is mailed to subscribers.

To meet the challenges of the increasingly fast-paced academic publishing world, some of our journals publish articles online before they appear in print. Once articles are accepted for publication, they are copy-edited, typeset, and posted online immediately through a process called Advance Online. This new initiative allows us to make advance versions of articles available online within weeks rather than months of final manuscript submission. We are excited to offer this service to our contributors and readers.

The Advance Online Process:

FILE PREPARATIOn • files are prepared for copy-editing and production using

software that formats it for XML-related production processes

• Image resolution is checked (where images are used)• contracts are sent to authors for signing

COPY-EDITInG • files are edited for punctuation, consistency, spelling errors, journal style and documentation

guides• edited files are sent with queries to authors for approval and authors’ replies and comments

are then incorporated

TYPESETTInG• files are typeset to generate web-ready PDfs

PRODUCTIOn• files are processed to be posted to the online platform• Typeset page proof(s) are sent to author(s) for review • Author revisions are incorporated into proof files and are kept ready for when issue is compiled

ISSUE CREATIOn • All material for an issue is put together for issue composition• Once the issue is finalized and web ready, the final article replaces the existing advance online

GOInG beYOnD PUbLIcATIOn - PROMOTInG YOUR ARTIcLe

Once you’ve had your article published, it’s time to get the word out and start people reading and talking about it!

Ideally your article should reach the broadest and most suitable audience. We promote our journals and their content as a whole at conferences, via new issue alerts and journal-specific opt-in email lists, on our social media pages, on our website, and in print and online advertising. But only you are the expert on your article - this makes you the expert on the audience who will be best targeted to read and cite your work.

here are some popular ways to generate article buzz:

Social networking – social networking sites such as LinkedIn, facebook, and Twitter provide a free format to promote your article to potential readers. Authors, researchers, and publishers are increasingly using these sites to promote and encourage discussion of their published work.

Post information about your article on your profile page with a direct link to the online version so it can be picked up by other researchers and professionals in the field. note that when you provide a link to the official version of your article, UTP can give you readership statistics for your article (ask us for your numbers!) and cross-reference citations to your article in the literature. citations to your article will then begin to appear in the navigation panel next to your article.

Include an image, journal cover or screenshot of the article pdf in your social media posts. Images grab the attention of potential readers browsing through their social media feeds.

and cross-post to the University of Toronto Press social media audiences. Simply add it to your submission, send us an email or contact your editor or copyeditor.

Saving publishing, one tweet at a time - Helping both readers and writers look good on social media (by edd Dumbill, O’Reilly Radar, December 31, 2012)

Highly Tweeted Articles Were 11 Times More Likely to Be Highly Cited (by Alexis Madrigal, The Atlantic, January 12, 2012)

Video abstracts/introductions/updates - consider producing a short video or audio recording in which you talk about the goals/content/research of your article. Or perhaps there has been an update to your research - provide a brief video update to be used as supplementary and promotional material. Should you wish to do this, please contact your editor, as we can offer suggestions to help with production of the video. click here for examples.
