ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
You've crossed a major milestone — your manuscript is finally publication-ready! The next step is submitting your manuscript.
The journey from conceptualizing research to publishing your manuscript in a reputable journal involves numerous challenges. Being one of the most critical stages in the publication process, the manuscript submission phase is where even the slightest misstep can derail your efforts. Many journals also have a requirement for publication extenders like graphical abstracts to attract a larger group of readers, which would not only facilitate the submission process but also improve the impact of your research.
Our previous webinar of the "Manuscript Publication and Research Impact" series explored expert insights on finding the right journal, assessing the novelty and significance of your manuscript, and ways to reduce the revision period from a peer reviewer's perspective. This follow-up webinar continues the series, with our panel of experts focusing on the smart way to tackle the manuscript submission process. We'll equip you with proven strategies to critically evaluate your options, take the necessary steps when submitting your manuscript, position your research in the best light, and maximize your chances of publication success.
Join us as we reveal some insider strategies for an effective manuscript submission process and why some publication extenders create great impact opportunities.
