The Editage Insights team has been busy throughout the year, answering researchers&#8217; questions and providing his guidance to those in need. A variety of questions have been pouring in throughout the year &#8211; questions related to different aspects of academic publishing, such as the submission process, publication ethics, manuscript status, manuscript preparation, peer review, and communication with journals. This is, therefore, the perfect time for us to look back at these questions and form a view of some of the prime concerns that bothered researchers in the year 2014.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Here are the top 10 questions addressed to the Editage Insights <a href=\"http:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/ask-a-question\">Q&amp;A forum<\/a>, with a gist of the answers. Read the original Q&amp;A for the complete answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/how-should-i-revise-my-paper-so-that-it-clears-plagiarism-check-at-the-journal-end\">How should I revise my paper so that it clears plagiarism check at the journal end?<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">It can sometimes be very difficult for non-native speakers of English to paraphrase or summarize ideas that they borrow from other sources. This often leads to rejection as a result of plagiarism check. We suggest some ways to address this problem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/can-a-conference-paper-be-submitted-to-a-journal\">Can a conference paper be submitted to a journal?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">A conference paper is just a preliminary announcement of the study, and it is possible to develop it into a full-fledged journal article by revising it to include details. This may require you to change the title and make enhancements based on the feedback you received at the conference.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/why-should-i-select-preferred-reviewers-and-how-should-i-do-it\/\">Why I should select preferred reviewers and how I should do it?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Many journals ask for a list of preferred reviewers it is often difficult to find suitable reviewers who would be qualified to review the paper and who would not have any bias toward or against the author. Preferred reviewers should never be selected at random. Keep certain essential points in mind when selecting preferred reviewers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">4.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/disclosure-of-conflicts-of-interest-what-do-journals-expect-from-authors\/\">Disclosure of conflicts of interest: what do journals expect from authors?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Authors are often confused by a journal\u2019s request for disclosure of conflicts of interest. This answer explains when a potential conflict of interest can occur and what authors are expected to include in the statement of disclosure of conflicts of interest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>5.\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/can-i-cite-a-paper-that-has-been-accepted-but-not-yet-published\/\"><strong>Can I cite a paper that has been accepted but not yet published?<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">It is okay to cite a paper that has been accepted but not yet published.\u00a0 Generally for such papers, the term \u201cin press\u201d should be used after the title in the reference list.\u00a0 However, if your article relies heavily on an unpublished paper, it can be a good idea to include the paper in the supplementary material.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>6. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/will-my-manuscript-be-considered-as-a-duplicate-or-simultaneous-submission\">Will my manuscript be considered as a duplicate or simultaneous submission?<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">When you decide to withdraw your paper from a journal, you should wait for a confirmation of withdrawal before you submit the manuscript to anther journal. Submission to a second journal without a confirmation of withdrawal from the first is unethical, and your paper can be considered as a simultaneous or duplicate submission.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/what-do-the-terms-lead-author-and-co-author-mean\/\">What do the terms \u201clead author\u201d and \u201cco-author\u201d mean?<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">In a research paper with multiple authors, the lead author is someone who takes overall responsibility while a co-author can be anyone who fulfils the specified criteria for authorship. We clarify the responsibilities of the lead author and co-author.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>8.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/why-does-the-status-date-of-a-submission-change-periodically-though-the-status-remains-unchanged\">Why does the status date of a submission change periodically though the status remains unchanged?<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">We explain that periodic changes in the status date without any change in the current status could possibly mean that the database is being checked by the editor from time to time. However, the current status is the same because the manuscript is going through the same stage in the publication process. Once this stage is completed, the current status will be updated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>9.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/the-results-of-my-published-research-are-now-being-refuted-what-should-i-do\/\">The results of my published research are now being refuted.

If it is a minor error, it could be corrected through an erratum or corrigendum.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">10. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/can-i-use-one-part-of-my-submitted-paper-and-develop-it-into-another-paper\">Can I use one part of my submitted paper and develop it into another paper?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Breaking up a study just for the sake of increasing the number of publications is an unethical practice and is referred to as salami slicing or data fragmentation. However, if your study has a secondary finding that can be analyzed and developed into a new study, it is possible to do so, provided the topic and focus are completely different from the first study.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">We\u2019re sure this article must have answered some of your questions too.
