About to submit an article to a journal


Recommended Posts

I am about to submit a paper to a journal article very soon for the first time. The journal does not have any guidelines written about how to submit tables, figures, etc.. I have 2 of them and currently they are part of the main word document right after the references at the end. Should these be put in a different file and which format or do places that don't have instructions for this not care? 

Thanks

Can you ask other people in your department if they have experience with this journal? In my field, we all publish in the same 3-4 journals so it's common for us to share experiences and help each other figure out guidelines etc. for each one. Can you ask other students, postdocs, advisors, other professors, etc.?

 

If not, you could try to find contact information for the journal and ask one of the journal staff/editors.

 

And if all of that fails, you could consider just submitting it one way or another and then the journal will contact you to fix things if something is wrong.
