Does the journal currently have a "Call for Papers" out fora specific topic you are interested in writing about?


11/16

Look at previous papers to get a feel for what isaccepted

Check the aims and scope statement again

Take note of the maximum extent (word count) ofthe submission

Follow any submission guidelines carefully

Quote from previous papers (show awareness ofthe literature)

Send an abstract to the editor


12/16

Read the "notes for contributors" or "instructions forauthors" carefullyEnsure the article is correctly formatted and referenced.It is always best to check the journal's preferredstylebook for reference formatting, and to format yourreferences accordingly.It is recommended manuscripts submitted for review bedouble-spaced, and set in a font for easy reading.Most journals also prefer a covering page with thepapers title, authors, and author affiliations.Write an abstractAssure that if the journal requires a specific set ofheadings (e.g. "Materials and Methods", "Conclusions")that your paper is authored to follow this style. If thereare no specific guidelines for headings, it is stillrecommended you use headings to separate major ideasin your article.

Preparing the Journal Manuscript

Ensure references cited in the text appear in the bibliography. In-text citations notreferenced in this way will otherwise need to be added during production.

Expand any acronyms. Remember your audience is international. Check spelling and grammar. Pay special attention to whether the journal you

are writing for specifically requests "American" or "English" spelling. Figures, tables and photographs.

Check they are ALL present, and are referred to in the text of your paper. If images are embedded in the text, you also need to include high resolution

(300dpi or better) versions as separate files. Consider how figures and tables will appear in the journal. Make sure that

enlargement or reduction of any photos will be possible without loss ofmeaning. Additionally, bear in mind that tables with too many columns orrows may be hard to read in print.

Ensure you have the correct copyright clearance for any material in yourpaper that is already to a third party, e.g. pictures.

Ask a colleague to read your paper prior to submission. Is there an online article submission facility (e.g. Manuscript Central or a

dedicated journal email box) or does the journal require hard-copy submission?

Professor David Phillips (University of Oxford), Editor of the OxfordReview of Education, has offered the following ten explanations ofwhy articles are rejected:The article not ready, only a draftThe article is too parochial (will not appeal to a wider, internationalaudience)Poor English (if English is not your first language, seek help)Manuscript is poorly prepared (see 5 above)Too short or too long (check the article length specified in authorguidelines)Article is submitted to the wrong journal (material not of relevanceto readership - check the aims and scope of a journal before

submitting to it)Nothing new is stated or foundUnder-theorizedUnder-contextualizedNot properly a journal article (e.g. better suited to another form ofpublication)
