Top 10 Tips for Successful Manuscript Submission

Session Agenda

Manuscripts submitted have to undergo several stages of screening — technical, editorial, and peer review — before they finally get published. Ensuring unerring submissions fulfilling journal requirements and smoothly completing the submission process via online systems can be daunting. The Royal Society of Medicine  in collaboration with Karger Publishers and Enago conducted an interactive webinar that discussed some top tips for authors on how to avoid making incomplete and incorrect submissions to journals leading to immediate rejection and the importance of publication ethics.
