I just&nbsp;have to&nbsp;read the aims and make sure that my research topic falls under the journal\u2019s scope, right?\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>It does appear&nbsp;simple at first glance.&nbsp;But mismatch with journal\u2019s aims and scope is one of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/top-5-reasons-for-desk-rejection-and-simple-solutions-for-authors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">top reasons for desk rejections<\/a>!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the journal&nbsp;<em>Annals of Saudi Medicine<\/em>&nbsp;in its&nbsp;scope clearly&nbsp;states&nbsp;that&nbsp;while&nbsp;manuscripts will be accepted&nbsp;from global touchpoints,&nbsp;their target audience&nbsp;is particularly readers from the Middle East and parts of Asia and Africa. So, if your research&nbsp;collects&nbsp;clinical data of patients of&nbsp;European&nbsp;origin&nbsp;and presents a detailed analysis of&nbsp;a new drug intervention, it is less likely to be accepted. Instead, if your study&nbsp;analyzed patient data from Saudi Arabia, that would be more relevant for the journal\u2019s target audience and is more likely to&nbsp;be accepted for review.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, internalize the true meaning of&nbsp;what the aims and scope are trying to convey before shortlisting Saudi journals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Follow submission guidelines precisely&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This also seems easily achievable.&nbsp;Where authors falter, however,&nbsp;is&nbsp;failing to&nbsp;tailor&nbsp;their submissions to&nbsp;the target&nbsp;journal\u2019s standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For instance,&nbsp;let\u2019s&nbsp;say a&nbsp;journal&nbsp;states formatting is NOT mandatory for&nbsp;initial&nbsp;submissions.&nbsp;So&nbsp;should you ignore formatting completely?&nbsp;No.&nbsp;Adhering to their guidelines right from your first correspondence with the journal signifies professionalism. So do it!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical journals like&nbsp;<em>Annals of Saudi Medicine&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Saudi Medical Journal&nbsp;<\/em>are known for upholding the highest of standards for ethical principles.&nbsp;Carefully check which statements of declaration&nbsp;are mandated and provide proof of ethical consent wherever applicable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Strengthen the&nbsp;methodology&nbsp;section<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cMy study has been carefully designed by adhering to all&nbsp;required&nbsp;scientific&nbsp;methods. So how could they reject my paper based on this?\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this thought crosses your mind, check your&nbsp;methodology&nbsp;again!

And editors of&nbsp;Saudi&nbsp;journals prefer papers that&nbsp;provide&nbsp;valuable insights on a particular problem,&nbsp;especially to Saudi audience.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;not always&nbsp;groundbreaking&nbsp;theory that interests editors and reviewers.&nbsp;Instead, think of practical applications.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What can be useful for policymakers in Saudi Arabia?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does my research solve a problem on a&nbsp;global&nbsp;scale&nbsp;or&nbsp;can it&nbsp;address a more targeted problem at a regional level?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do the implications have an&nbsp;impact&nbsp;that will be of interest to the journal\u2019s target&nbsp;audience?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How best&nbsp;can I frame the&nbsp;research question&nbsp;to&nbsp;fit the data analyzed and the findings reported?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Consider pre-submission inquiries&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>At times, even if the journal\u2019s&nbsp;website offers guidelines and instructions, you could be left with doubts.&nbsp;You may indeed seek advice from&nbsp;you&nbsp;peers and professors who have prior experience of&nbsp;perhaps publishing&nbsp;in that journal. You may even&nbsp;utilize&nbsp;professional&nbsp;services to support you in your publication journey. But the best way? Ask the journal!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write to the journal editor. It is better to&nbsp;clarify any queries&nbsp;regarding&nbsp;the submission, from&nbsp;ensuring&nbsp;whether the topic matches the journal\u2019s scope&nbsp;to&nbsp;determining&nbsp;if there are any exceptions considered for&nbsp;word count limits,&nbsp;<em>before&nbsp;<\/em>proceeding&nbsp;with the submission&nbsp;preparation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"saudi-journal-4\"><strong>Conclusion:&nbsp;Practice Essential Research Skills<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, build skills that will ease paper submissions&nbsp;over time.&nbsp;To make your&nbsp;long career&nbsp;in research fruitful, divide&nbsp;your research paper preparation into stages.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Learn how to&nbsp;effectively&nbsp;review literature&nbsp;from Saudi journals.&nbsp;Familiarize yourself with tools like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/paperpal?utm_source=editageinsights&amp;utm_medium=article-bolierplate&amp;utm_campaign=202606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Paperpal<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;that are designed specifically for academic use.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep yourself updated with&nbsp;the latest developments reported in the field&nbsp;by referring to top-tier&nbsp;journals from Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Actively attend\/participate&nbsp;in&nbsp;regional&nbsp;conferences&nbsp;and present posters when you get an opportunity.&nbsp;Build a solid network with your peers from&nbsp;top universities like&nbsp;the King&nbsp;Saud University,&nbsp;King Abdulaziz University, etc.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaborate with professional academic editors like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/services\/english-editing?utm_source=editageinsights&amp;utm_medium=article-bolierplate&amp;utm_campaign=202606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Editage<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;who&nbsp;are&nbsp;industry experts&nbsp;to build a strong research manuscript for journal submission.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;Saudi Vision 2030&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vision2030.gov.sa\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.vision2030.gov.sa\/en<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;Journal of King Saud University \u2013 Engineering Sciences&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/journal\/44444\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/link.springer.com\/journal\/44444<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;Saudi Medical Journal&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/smj.org.sa\/content\/authors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/smj.org.sa\/content\/authors<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.
