Getting published a practical guide- Part II

Albarran, John; Dowling, Sally

Abstract

This second paper aims to guide you on how to organise the structure and content of a manuscript according to a journal’s guidelines. A strong manuscript is one written in an accessible, informative, stimulating and engaging style; to achieve this planning has to be developed in stages, underpinned by periods of regular writing and editing activities. Authorship order, approaches to managing time, promoting relevance and interest to the readership, consistency in writing style, and dealing with peer-review feedback are also discussed in this paper and framed around the themes of ‘Writing the manuscript’ and performing ‘quality control activities’.
