An Insight Into Journal Editorial Processes
Session Agenda
Enago conducted an informative webinar in collaboration with Wageningen Academic Publishers—an independent STM publisher renowned for its work in the field of Life Sciences—which aimed at providing research scholars with an in-depth understanding of the editorial processes followed at different stages of publication of scientific articles. In this session, we discussed how a manuscript is handled by journal editors at the time of submission, after submission, during the peer review process, post-acceptance, and at the stage of final publication. Further, we also discussed how journals can help researchers in promoting their publications thereby increasing the visibility and reach.
Researchers will learn:
- What happens after submission (pre-check by Academic Editor/Guest Editor, Editorial Board Member)?
- What do Editors and Peer Reviewers look for?
- Editorial Decisions and Decision Letters
- How to make an effective appeal upon rejection
- What happens after acceptance?
- Publication and communication
