In a <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.amamanualofstyle.com\/2012\/10\/19\/top-10-mistakes-authors-make\/\">blog post<\/a>, these editors have listed the top 10 problems they encounter in their submitted manuscripts. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Note that these are not reasons for rejection; if these issues are resolved, the papers may be published. But such mistakes can definitely contribute to unwarranted delays in the publication process.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the list, starting with the most common problem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Lack of adherence to the journal\u2019s instructions for authors:<\/strong>\u00a0According to the AMA committee, this is the number one problem they face: authors submitting queries that indicate that they haven\u2019t read or followed the journal\u2019s instructions for authors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">2. <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Inconsistencies in data: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Often, figures given in text don\u2019t match those in the tables\/figures, or the numbers don\u2019t add up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">3. <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Failure to protect patient identity: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Medical case reports are often accompanied by photographs or text that might make the patient identifiable to the reader. As per publication ethics, this is inappropriate, and besides getting a consent form signed by the concerned patients, authors need to ensure that the patient cannot be identified in any way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">4.\u00a0<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Duplicate submission: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Authors are not allowed to submit the same manuscript, or even a part of it, to two journals at the same time. This applies even if the two journals involved are a local and an international journal with different target audiences. Duplicate publication is a breach of publication ethics, although many authors are not aware of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">5. <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Errors in references: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Missing references, listed references not matching the citations in text, and inappropriately formatted references are another common problem encountered in manuscripts. Missing and inaccurate references undermine the credibility of a paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">6. <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Exaggerated conclusions: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">While it\u2019s important for the conclusion section of a paper to pack a punch, editors find that papers often have exaggerated conclusions that are not entirely supported by the data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">7.\u00a0<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Mistakes in punctuation and style: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">These include errors in punctuation and inconsistencies in the way abbreviations are designed. Although these are commonly encountered errors, they are not very grave and are usually fixed at the typesetting stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">8.\u00a0<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Hasty questions to the copyeditors: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Authors often question changes made by the copyeditor without understanding the rationale behind these changes, which may be explained in<\/span><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"> <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">the copyeditor\u2019s cover letter sent along with the edited manuscript.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">9.\u00a0<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Unexplained footnotes: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Authors sometime fail to explain things that are obvious to them, for example, that the data values shown in a table are rounded<\/span><u style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">&#8211;<\/u><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">off values. This information may not be obvious to the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">reader and should be stated in a footnote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">10. <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Missing or incomplete forms: <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Filling out forms regarding authorship, conflicts of interest, ethical board approval, etc., is an important part of the publication process. But authors find this step cumbersome and often submit incorrectly filled or incomplete forms. This leads to unnecessary back-and-forth between the editorial board and the authors, thus delaying the publication process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">So there you have it\u2014the journal editors\u2019 perspectives. It would be interesting to understand what you as authors feel about these errors. Please do share your comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Authors can avoid many of these mistakes by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pubsure.researcher.life\/\">PubSURE<\/a>, an AI-driven platform that checks the submission readiness of manuscripts.
