Manuscript Preparation
All academic authors should prioritize familiarizing themselves with the specifics of manuscript formatting because a well-written, well-structured research paper has higher chances of journal acceptance. However, the road leading to manuscript submission is relatively long and could be rather confusing for uninformed authors or those lacking relevant guidance. There are many things you need to focus on when writing a manuscript, e.g., grammar usage, flow of content, proper use of technical terminology, etc., all of which contribute to the how a particular paper and its author are perceived. Here, you will find helpful tips and resources on all aspects of academic manuscript writing--grammar, language, style, format, manuscript structure, and preparing tables and figures. The idea is to help you understand how to write a high-impact research manuscript.

I have to say the references from domestic published researches have been used much more than internationally published ones. Is any possibility that y paper might get rejected for this reason?

I got an invitation from a journal to submit a review article on a particular topic. I have some published papers on this topic. Can I cite most of my published content in this review article? (I wrote those content, and some discussions are relevant to this review article. But will there be any problem?)
