Abstract:
Although as academicians we all carry the burden and difficulties of publishing scientific papers it also brings great feelings of accomplishment to have these published works with our names on them. It is never easy even for an experienced researcher but might be very challenging for the newcomers. In this presentation, we will take you behind the scenes and demystify the process by looking at submissions from the Editor-in-Chief’s point of view. Over the last 17 years we have processed 15,000 manuscripts and only 15% were accepted. What are the characteristics of those select successful ones? Do they have anything in common? We will discuss the evolution of OMEGA over the last 17 years, trends in submissions, acceptance rate and Impact Factor, Editorial Advisory Board structure, responsibilities and manuscript flaw. As an EIC I am looking at title, abstract, key words, paper, examples, conclusions, references, appendices, cover letter and similarity index. Finally, we will discuss revised papers. At the end of the presentation the audience will have a better understanding of the review process and how to succeed in submission papers.
