Session Agenda

Are you aiming to publish your research in high impact factor (IF) journals like Nature, Cell, or The Lancet? Publication in high-impact journals is the pinnacle of success for researchers. However, this achievement demands meticulous attention to detail, rigorous peer review, and strategic maneuvering within the competitive landscape of scientific publishing. If you find yourself unaware of the specific publication standards for these journals and are in need of expert guidance to enhance the quality and presentation of your manuscript, look no further! In this special webinar, Enago’s experts will demonstrate the editing and review processes involved in preparing your manuscript for publication in top-tier journals.

Our speakers — Dr. Emily Crow, the founder and lead translator of ETC Science Communication and former editor at Nature Publishing Group and BioMed Central, and Deepesh Bodekar, an experienced Quality Manager at Enago — bring over 15 years of combined experience in scientific writing, editing, and reviewing. They will guide you through a demonstration of manuscript editing and review, revealing the level of scrutiny your manuscript will undergo from reviewers of top-tier journals, and how they can help you with an in-depth developmental editing to bridge any gaps.
