Start with a defined scope.
A complete submission needs more than the manuscript. Author information, declarations and supporting documents must be accurate. Any assistance with submission should be authorized by the author, who reviews and approves the final material.
What the service can include
- An agreed submission-document checklist
- Guidance on journal requirements and author-approved submission documents
- Guidance organizing editorial correspondence or reviewer responses
Prepare for your request
Have all authors confirm the submission, author order and declarations. Keep previous editorial correspondence available if this is a revision or resubmission.
