IN BRIEF

In medicine, published statements are critical becausethey may have consequences for patients.

A scientific publication’s quality and success aredetermined by adhering to the standards of scientificmedical writing in terms of organization and style andthe topic’s relevance, and the validity of the techniqueemployed.

The chief editor of a biomedical journal’s job isn’t just toexamine every article given to the editorial board beforesending it out to peer reviewers.

INTRODUCTIONThe privilege of reading many of the manuscripts thathave been submitted, accepted and published inJACCOA (Journal of Anesthesia and Critical Care:Open access) as editor and reviewer.

On the other hand, it was personally responsible forrejecting certain articles since they did not fulfil thepublishing standards.

This is the most difficult part of being an editor of anew open-access journal.

This biomedical journal has only recently begunthe difficult task of transmitting the knowledge andexperience of colleagues from all over the worldwho have favoured us by sending manuscripts toour editorial committee.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR MANUSCRIPTACCEPTED

The quality of an original scientific paper is determined byadherence to the structure and stylistic guidelines ofscientific medical writing.

You must be cautious while writing your thoughts to avoidyour text going from journal to journal, like in myinstances.

When putting together your manuscript, follow these steps:introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references.

Page 8: What an editor wants from your manuscript - Pubrica

Don’t forget to include a summary and keywords in your document.

Your writing style should be neat, clear, exact, and straightforward.

If English is not your first verbal, it is advised that you get your manuscriptevaluated by a colleague who is familiar with English medical grammar.

Keep in mind that the editor or the reviewers will not condense your tables.

If you don’t pay close attention to this point, your book may be rejected.

Utilize just the citations that you examined and thatyou believe are relevant to support your work or thatreaders may use to enhance their knowledge.

Write it right, and don’t rely on copy-paste withoutthoroughly understanding them.

Misspelt quotations are rather prevalent.

These are just a few proposals to keep in mindbefore and during the writing of your work.

It would help if you avoided writing that is difficultto understand and comprehend, especially formedical researchers.

Why are medical articles vague, unclear, ormade up because of medical mistakes thatdamage our patients.

Poor communication reduces the effect of medicalresearch, putting clinicians and patients at risk.

Study the patterns of great medical writing and imitate them.

An excellent guiding concept is to be as clear, concise, and direct as possible sothat an educated non-expert does not become confused.

It’s important to remember that research takes a lot of time, effort, and money.

Authors who make little effort to exhibit their work do a disservice to theirprofession, the audience, and themselves.

PEER REVIEWKeep in mind that peer review is an important part ofa biomedical journal’s editing process.

This procedure has a wide range of variationsdepending on the journal, editors, and reviewers.

Because papers should typically be connected toworldwide criteria for research studies and, inparticular, to the unique recommendations of eachjournal, consistency in peer review should be crucial.

According to Frank, 96 % of journals asked reviewersto accept or reject submissions, 72 % askedreviewers to analyze the articles’ novelty, 69 %wanted clarity assessments, and just 51% soughtconclusions evaluations.

Only 46% of journals informed reviewers that paperswere confidential documents, 51% included aseparate cover letter, and 25% included detailedreview instructions.

Kravitz et al. discovered that 28% of reviewers recommended rejectingmanuscripts, while the general rate of rejection among editors was 48%; 88 %when all reviewers agreed to reject the manuscript (7% of manuscripts); and20% when all reviewers agreed that the manuscript should not be rejected (48 %of manuscripts) (P<0.01) (4) With professional peer reviewers, the rejection ratemight reach 93 %.

Although disclosing whether or not your article contains a conflict of interest hasno impact on the reviewers’ opinions, it is usually a good idea to do so,especially when it comes to pharmacological studies connected to thepharmaceutical business.

There is a good trend toward assisting researchersin improving their articles and reducing the time ittakes for editorial processing and final publishing inthe peer-review process.

Since the objective is to enhance the academicquality of papers, there is still a long way to go.

Gratefully, not all medical practitioners are trainedor interested in sharing their knowledge if you are areader who wants to publish, learn how to develop aresearch protocol and acquaint yourself withmedical writing beyond the thesis you producedwhen you graduated from medical school and whenyou concluded your residency or fellowship.
