JOURNAL SUBMISSION SUPPORT

Prepare your manuscript for journal submission.

Journal submission support helps researchers prepare manuscripts and supporting documents according to journal requirements before proceeding through the submission process.

SUBMISSION PREPARATION

Get the manuscript and supporting documents ready for the journal.

Manuscript formatting

Align presentation with the selected journal's instructions where applicable.

Reference checks

Review reference presentation and obvious consistency issues.

Cover-letter preparation

Prepare a professional submission cover letter where required.

Submission guidance

Help researchers understand the journal's submission requirements and process.

BEFORE YOU SUBMIT

A completed manuscript is not always submission-ready.

Journals can have detailed instructions concerning manuscript structure, formatting, figures, tables, references, declarations and supporting documents.

A research paper may therefore require additional preparation even after the main writing and editing stages are complete.

Submission support helps organise those requirements before the manuscript enters the journal's editorial system.

01

Journal Formatting

Prepare manuscript presentation in accordance with relevant journal guidance.

02

Submission Requirements

Identify relevant documents and information requested during journal submission.

03

References

Review citation and reference presentation for obvious inconsistencies.

04

Supporting Documents

Help prepare relevant materials such as cover letters or journal-specific files.

SUBMISSION SUPPORT SCOPE

What submission preparation may include.

The exact requirements depend on the journal, manuscript type and current stage of preparation.

Review relevant author instructions to identify manuscript and submission requirements.

02

Manuscript formatting

Prepare headings, sections, layout and other presentation elements according to applicable journal guidance.

SUBMISSION MATERIALS

More than the manuscript file.

Depending on the journal and article type, researchers may need to provide additional documentation during the submission process.

Main Manuscript

The primary research paper prepared according to relevant journal requirements.

Cover Letter

A concise professional introduction to the manuscript where requested.

Figures & Tables

Separate files or manuscript-embedded materials may be required depending on journal instructions.

Declarations & Information

Journals may request authorship, ethics, funding, conflicts or other submission information.

PRE-SUBMISSION REVIEW

A final check before entering the journal system.

PREPARATION CHECK

Help reduce avoidable submission-stage issues.

Correct manuscript version

Confirm the intended final manuscript is being prepared for submission.

Supporting files prepared

Organise required additional documents according to the journal's instructions.

Author information checked

HOW IT WORKS

From selected journal to submission preparation.

Once a suitable journal has been identified, the manuscript and supporting materials can be prepared according to the relevant submission requirements.

01

Share the manuscript and journal

Provide the latest manuscript and, where already selected, the target journal details.

02

Review submission requirements

Relevant journal instructions and required documents are identified.

03

Prepare manuscript and documents

Formatting, references, cover-letter preparation and other agreed work are completed.

04

Proceed to journal submission

The researcher can then proceed with the journal's submission process using the prepared materials.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Submission support is separate from editorial decision-making.

Journal submission support helps prepare manuscripts and documents for submission. It does not provide control over the journal's editorial process.

We do not guarantee journal acceptance, peer-review outcomes, publication dates or indexing outcomes.

Final editorial decisions remain with the journal, publisher, editor and reviewers.

Researchers remain responsible for ensuring that all author information, declarations, research data and submitted content are accurate and authorised.

SUBMISSION SUPPORT FAQs

Questions about preparing for journal submission?

Yes. Where a target journal is known, manuscript formatting can be prepared according to relevant author instructions and the agreed service scope.

Cover-letter preparation can be included where required. The letter should accurately reflect the manuscript and information supplied by the authors.

Journal-selection support may be the appropriate previous step. Once a target journal is selected, specific submission preparation can begin.

No. Submission preparation can help ensure the manuscript is professionally prepared, but acceptance remains entirely subject to the journal's editorial and peer-review process.

Yes. If reviewer comments or a revision decision is received, reviewer-response and manuscript-revision support may be appropriate as the next stage.
