Before any decision to submit an article for a journal, the authors should consider some important issues. As a researcher, you can firstly ask a colleague to read your draft and give you his/her honest feedback. It is essential to choose a person who has not been involved in the article to have his/her unbiased criticism. Moreover, s/he should be warranted that his/her comments do not affect his/her relationship with you.
It is also recommended to talk about your article when you are in a group of colleagues. This helps you to receive their immediate comments and thought about your article. Secondly, you need to revise your article in case the provided comments of the colleagues sound professional and constructive. Finally, you should read and re-read the article to avoid any probable typing mistakes, which might have occurred while writing the article. Erroneous texts might negatively affect the reviewers’ opinion about the article. In fact, how can we expect a reviewer to trust your content when there are lots of spelling mistakes in the text. The title and abstract are the integral parts of your article, so try to make a good impression by proving clear and error-free text to the journal editors and reviewers.

When the article was ready, prepare all the necessary documents to submit your article. Nowadays, most journals are equipped with a journal management system, which needs information related to the authors, cover letter, title page, and separate files for the tables and figures. However, it is noteworthy to state that each journal has its own guidelines for authors, which entails the structural organization, referencing format, and ethics. Therefore, you need to format your article based on the target journal guidelines to satisfy the target journal’s publishing expectations. While submitting an article, the authors should confirm that they are fully aware of all the information provided in the content of the article and also declare that they have not submitted the article for other journals. After the submission was accomplished, the authors should wait to receive the comment from the editorial board and the reviewers.
