NTU-CEE Distinguished Seminar Series: Making Your Research Articles Acceptable: A Journal Editor’s Perspective
Host
Professor Lim Teik Thye
About the Seminar
A well-drafted manuscript with an attractive title, nicely drafted abstract, good graphics and scientifically sound figures, innovative results and a thought-provoking discussion stands out and will gain prompt notice from the handling editor, referees, and readers. Editors are interested in receiving manuscripts that are novel, innovative, within the scope of their journal and that will eventually contribute to the readership and impact of the journal. A few critical hints to authors will be discussed to avoid rejecting the manuscript without peer review by the editor or editorial office. A few tips will also be addressed to improve the quality of scientific manuscripts.
