Q: How can I submit my article to an international journal?
If I can’t submit my article, how can I repeat submit my article?
Although your key query is about a repeat submission, you have also asked about submission in general. So, let me respond to both.
Submission: Every journal has specific guidelines and requirements for submitting a manuscript. These cover a wide spectrum – from the length, style, and format of the article to accompanying documents and information (such as copyright). These guidelines and requirements are provided on the site of each journal, and it’s best to go through them before submitting your manuscript.
Repeat submission: The need for a repeat submission may arise from several scenarios. There may be a glitch in the system during submission. The author may have missed a part of the process, such as confirming the submission. Sometimes, the journal guidelines are not very clear to understand and implement. In such cases, you could first write to the journal informing them of the reason why you missed making a submission earlier. If the reason seems valid, they may permit you to repeat submit. (You could try submitting again directly on the site without contacting the journal, but first writing to the journal would be the preferred path.) In case the journal does not permit you to make a repeat submission, you could consider submitting your manuscript to another journal in the same field.
