Webinar: Webinar – What Journals Ask For vs What Authors Submit: Common Gaps and How to Close Them

Many manuscripts face repeated revisions or unnecessary delays not because the research is weak, but because they do not fully align with what journals actually expect.

Journal guidelines may appear clear, yet common gaps between editorial requirements and typical author submissions continue to slow down the review process.

To help researchers bridge this divide, we invite you to a free, example-driven webinar that examines the most frequent mismatches between what journals ask for and what authors submit and how to close those gaps effectively.

What This Session Will Focus On 

This comparative webinar uses real editorial criteria and common author practices to highlight where manuscripts often fall short despite strong research. 

Participants will gain practical insight into: 

• The most common mismatches between journal expectations and author submissions. 

• Recurring gaps in structure, clarity, and compliance that lead to revisions or delays. 

• How to interpret journal guidelines from an editorial perspective, not just as a checklist. 

• Aligning key manuscript sections with what editors and reviewers expect to see. 

• Applying targeted improvements to reduce unnecessary revision cycles and speed up review. 

This session is particularly valuable for researchers planning journal submissions in 2026 and beyond.
