You are required to publish your work to get a job, further your career, or even attract research funding, all of which makes it imperative to deliver a publication-ready manuscript. But how do you do this? George Allen, Sr., an American football coach, had it right when he said \u201cWinning is the science of being totally prepared.\u201d For research authors, this means conducting a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/pubsure.researcher.life\/?utm_source=insightsrow&amp;utm_medium=contentmarketing&amp;utm_campaign=pubsurearticle1\">manuscript submission readiness check <\/a>to polish your work and get published faster.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 107%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 107%;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">How researchers can benefit from a manuscript submission readiness check <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 107%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">There are over 7.8 million researchers across the world and growing,<sup>1<\/sup> and so is the competition to be published. Authors are advised to choose a good manuscript submission readiness check because 21% of manuscripts are desk rejected by journals, while another 30% are rejected after a peer review.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 107%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Journal editors say the top three important reasons for desk rejections are 1) a mismatch with journal scope, 2) duplicate or inferior content, and 3) poor language quality.<sup>3<\/sup> A thorough pre-submission check is essential to assess how well your work is aligned with journal guidelines and whether your manuscript is complete, in terms of recommended format and structure, commercial declarations, authorship details, written permissions, etc. In cases where there are large amounts of data, different information sources, and multiple authors, this crucial step ensures you are accurate and consistent with the data, facts, numbers, tables, figures, symbols and measurement units used in your manuscript. Most importantly, a manuscript submission check gives you the opportunity to identify any missing or incorrect citations and references, which may have been construed as plagiarism and affected your research reputation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-default\" title=\"Default Title Text\" src=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/all-access-insights-contextual-01-desktop_17.jpg\" alt=\"Default Alt text\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 107%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Getting your research manuscript edited or proofread before submission is considered crucial in scholarly publishing, which hinges on comprehension, logic, and error-free content. An in-depth language check weeds out typos, grammar and style errors, as well as confusing language that can result in instant rejection. Authors can also avoid a lot of flak by ensuring their work complies with all relevant ethical guidelines, such as patient care or clinical trial registration, and does not violate any publishing norms.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 107%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">You only get one chance to make a good impression with journal editors and reviewers and a manuscript submissions readiness check helps you ensure your work has everything needed to succeed.
