Top 10 Tips for Avoiding Journal Rejection

Session Agenda

Every researcher aims to publish their work in established peer-reviewed scientific journals. However, publishing is no easy task, and manuscript rejection is a common occurrence in scholarly publishing. For a smooth publication journey, researchers must ensure that their manuscripts are well-structured and meet the high standards of academic writing before submission to an impactful journal. The Royal Society of Medicine in collaboration with Karger Publishers and Enago conducted an interactive webinar that helped researchers improve their awareness about the peer review process, manuscript decisions, and common errors made by early-career researchers leading to rejection. Further, we also helped authors understand reviewers’ comments and share practical tips to revise and timely resubmit their manuscripts.

Researchers learnt:

  • How to conduct a robust literature review
  • How to write each section of the manuscript
  • How to present research data effectively
  • Acknowledging sources properly
  • How to ensure research reproducibility
  • How to ensure fluency, clarity, and readability
  • Importance of editing and proofreading
  • Peer review process
  • How to address reviewer comments and make an effective appeal upon rejection

Who should attend this session?

  • Early-stage researchers
  • Doctoral students
  • Postdoctoral Researchers
