Agenda

• Preparing a submission

• The Peer Review Process

• Post-publication essentials


Part 1.

Preparing a submission


Deciding where to publish…

Part 1. Preparing a submission

1) Consider the breadth of your study.

2) Think about the impact of your findings.

3) Read the aims and scope of potential journals.

4) Look at where related papers were published.

5) Speak with your coauthors.


Writing the manuscript…


1) A manuscript should ideally be written with a target

journal in mind.

2) Structure your manuscript according to a journal’s

Author Guidelines; if in doubt: IMRaD.

3) Ensure key references are cited appropriately.

4) Editors and Reviewers are readers too!

IntroductionMethodsResultsandDiscussion


Each section of a paper has a clearly defined purpose

there are best practices you can follow…

1. Title - A good title is important to attract readers and should include keywords.

2. Authors - Make sure your author list is complete and ordered correctly (don’t add or

subtract names!).

3. Abstract - Needs to be well structured (this may be the only part an Editor looks at before

making an initial decision!).

4. Main Body - Write in a clear concise scientific style.

5. References, Bibliography - Check carefully; use software and the required style of the

journal.



The Title.

• Be explicit (e.g., state a key

finding, or frame a question)

• Put keywords up front (optimize

for search engines–think of how

your paper will be found, once

published)

• Keep it short – typically up to 15

words

• Avoid “Studies on….”,

“Characterization of…..”, etc.

The Abstract.

• Maximum 250 words (PubMed

truncates at 250 words)

• What are the significant results?

Conclusions/implications/applicati

ons?

• Important methodology

• Write in past tense

• Stand alone. No citations; avoid

non-standard abbreviations

• Most important: First and last

sentence

The keywords.

• Choose 15–20 keywords/phrases

• Test keywords using free tools.

• Use keywords in:

• Title (2-4)

• Abstract (3-4)

• Sub-headings

• Keyword fields (5-7)

• Let keywords flow naturally

• Avoid overuse

Three places to spend your time…


References…

• Cite the main scientific publications on which your work is based.

• Do not inflate the manuscript with too many references – it doesn’t make it a

better manuscript!

• Avoid excessive self-citations.

More mistakes are found in the references

than any other part of the manuscript!



Reporting standards…


• Community driven

• Open standards

• Not journal specific

• Drive consistency of reporting and reproducibility

• Increasingly common in Author Guidelines

Examples:

ARRIVE

Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo

Experiments

MIBBI

Minimum Information for Biological and

Biomedical Investigations

PRISMA

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic

Reviews and Meta-Analyses

CONSORT

CONsolidated Standards of Reporting Trials

STROBE

STrengthening the Reporting of

OBservational studies in Epidemiology


Literature Integrity and Reproducibility

Chart taken from Nature Volume 533 Number 7604 pp437-572http://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on-reproducibility-1.19970

Reproducibility is a known problem and is being addressed at every stage.

The root causes of the problem are manifold –ethical misconduct is only part of the equation.


The Resource Identification Initiative

Community-led effort to introduce better reporting standards for research resources

through Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs), authentication tags for key biological

resources.

What is an RRID?

Machine readable

Uniform across publishers

RRID database draws from existing community repositories using community accession

numbers

Use in publications allows readers to discover:

What resources are used in this paper and which specific ones?

What other information is known about these resources?

What other papers use this resource?

In use for antibodies, animals, cell lines and software tools

http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/brb3.417



Characterize materials

(antibodies, proteins,

crystal structures, organic

compounds etc.) fully and

according to journal

requirements.

Provide all requested

supporting materials (gel

images, spectra, etc.).

Be transparent with the

Editor, Reviewer, and

Reader. Impurities, missing

data, problems

encountered.

Materials & Methods

An experimental section should be written so that someone could repeat the experiment exactly and get the same results.

Part 2.

The Peer-Review Process


A quick look at the peer-review process…

Part 2. The Peer-Review Process

Key players: Authors – Editors – Reviewers

Key steps: Submission – Evaluation – Revision

Key value: Reproducibility – Quality Control – Improvement


Why is peer review important?• Improves the quality of papers published

• Helps assess the importance of findings

• Determines the originality of a paper

• Can potentially detect plagiarism and fraud

84% of researchers believe that without peer review there would be no control in scientific communication.

90% of researchers feel that peer review improves the quality of their published paper.



The technicalities of submission...


• Submissions typically made via a journal’s online submission system (e.g., ScholarOne,

Editorial Manager)

• Authors are typically required to respond to submission questions, recommend reviewers,

declare any conflict of interest, etc.

• Manuscripts typically go through an initial checklist to make sure they are complete and

Author Guidelines have been followed (format, length, language, etc.)

• Manuscripts are typically checked for plagiarism using special software (e.g., iThenticate)


A typical approach to editorial review…


Most journals have an editorial review / triage step. Editors look for:

• Is your article within scope for the journal? Is the topic addressed by the research relevant

and interesting? What does it add to the subject area?

• Is it of sufficient quality e.g. Does it give a clear statement of aims and achievements? Are

the methods used appropriate?

• Does the paper meet ethical guidelines? Were any human, or animal, participants properly

protected? Was any portion fabricated, falsified, or plagiarized?

• Is the manuscript well written and prepared with due diligence?


What reviewers want…


Well conducted - are the methods used appropriate, findings well reported, is the

work reproducible?

Conclusions supported – are the stated conclusions supported by the

data/findings?

Advancing the field – do the reported findings sufficiently advance the field?


What does the Editor base their decision on?

Editors base their decisions on:

• The journal’s Aims/Scope and readership.

• The state of knowledge in the field.

• The level of competition for acceptance.

• Reviewer comments, but remember… a referee’s recommendation is not a vote – it is advice!



Responding to reviewers’ remarks…


1. Handle all minor edits (spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and points of house style)

first.

2. Address substantial (in terms of size) and substantive (in terms of your analysis and

arguments) points next.

3. Don’t get angry—answer politely.

4. Answer completely.

5. Answer with evidence.

6. Don’t ignore comments—remember reviewers volunteer their time to assess your paper.

7. Be optimistic! Proceed with the belief that if you address the points adequately, you are

very likely to be accepted and published.


Rebuttals - when and why…


Are any of the statements/arguments presented by the reviewers or Editors in support of

their decision factually incorrect?

If yes, rebuttal might be appropriate:

• Be professional and objective

• Avoid personal attacks, attempts to identify reviewers, and emotional appeals

• Provide data to refute reviewers’ concerns

• Highlight the novelty of and/or the broad interest of the work


Referrals and transfers…

• Manuscript preparation and submission is time

consuming for authors.

• Peer review takes time, with valuable input from

Editors and Reviewers.

• Referrals/transfers optimize the peer-review

process and save authors valuable time.

Other models of peer review…


• Single-blind – identity of reviewers is blinded to authors.*

• Double-blind – identities of reviewers and authors are blinded to one another.*

• Open – identities of reviewers and authors are known to all parties; reports are typically

published alongside article.

• Post-publication – evaluation after publication, where anyone can remark on the quality of the

article, and comments are online alongside article.

* Some journals experimenting with transparent peer review, wherereports are published alongside article (but remain anonymous); servicessuch as Publons allows reviewers to take credit for peer review for ajournal without compromising anonymity of the evaluation process.
