Before you start writing the paper, visit the journal website and check whether the journal has provided a template. When you use the template, a majority of the guidelines are followed automatically.<br \/>\n2. Check whether the journal has page or word limits for the paper\u2014this way, you can decide what content to exclude\/retain while writing the paper, rather than making content changes after editing.<br \/>\n3. Before you prepare figures or graphs, check the journal\u2019s artwork guidelines. While Editage does offer a separate artwork service that includes formatting\/modification of figures, you can save significant time and cost by preparing the appropriate figures beforehand.<br \/>\n4. Mention the journal name and the website URL while submitting your paper. This allows the editor to find the right guidelines for your target journal, as we do occasionally find multiple journals with the same name.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Do take advantage of our formatting service to save crucial time and energy in the submission process!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/services\/research-paper-manuscript-formatting-services?utm_source=editageinsights&amp;utm_medium=footerbanner&amp;utm_campaign=the-editage-formatting-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/MF-footerbanner-your-name-belongs-at-the-top.jpg\" alt=\"Manuscript formatting footer banner-your name belongs at the top\" width=\"856\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/MF-footerbanner-your-name-belongs-at-the-top.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/MF-footerbanner-your-name-belongs-at-the-top-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/MF-footerbanner-your-name-belongs-at-the-top-768x205.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an author looking to get published in reputed international journals, you\u2019re probably familiar with the cumbersome task of following the journal\u2019s author guidelines and ensuring that every detail is taken care of.
