Abstract

This chapter will provide valuable information to readers about several important issues in the publishing process. This chapter will concentrate on issues specific to: (1) selecting the appropriate journal for a manuscript; (2) writing effective abstracts that convey the main points of a manuscript; and (3) effectively addressing issues and comments raised during the peer review process. This chapter will discuss the importance of identifying a potential journal early in the writing process and reassessing goodness of fit once the manuscript is complete. Additionally, this chapter suggests ways to construct effective abstracts that provide an accurate picture of what the paper is about, which allows readers to determine whether or not they are interested in reading the article further. Lastly, this chapter will provide step-by-step instruction for researchers to effectively address comments that journal reviewers have provided, including the importance of addressing all comments thoroughly and the organization and presentation of the authors' comments in response to the reviewers.
