Article/Manuscript Writing
The piece of writing an author submits to a publisher, editor, or producer for publication is known as a manuscript. For researchers, especially those just starting out in their academic careers, having their work published for the first time is a major accomplishment. A scientific study’s publication can be the end result of a long and arduous process that begins with learning how to write a manuscript for a journal and ends with the study’s actual publication. To get their first article published, many people must first overcome the editorial and peer review barriers. Indeed, researchers may often doubt themselves due to the pressure to publish, the high rejection rates of prestigious journals, and the waiting period for a publication decision, all of which can have a negative effect on research productivity.
What is a manuscript?
A manuscript is a written, typewritten, or word-processed document that the researcher submits to a publisher. To share their original concepts and ground-breaking discoveries with the scientific community and the general public, researchers tediously draft manuscripts. Overall, the manuscript must be excellent and accurately reflect your professional work ethic; it must also be thorough, well organized, and accurate. Scientific articles must adhere to a specific language and structure in order to communicate the findings to the scientific community while upholding ethical standards. For publishing to be successful, it is also necessary to adhere to the standards for the title page’s information, abstract structure, reference style, font size, line spacing, margins, layout, and paragraph style. Although it takes time and is difficult, this technique will ultimately be beneficial.
What are the types of manuscripts?
Research articles, case studies, reflective essays, review articles (including meta-analysis, systematic reviews, narrative review, scoping review, mini review), letter to the editor, research briefs, policy and practice briefs, commentaries, and book reviews.
The first step in writing a manuscript is to...
Choosing and researching the publication where you intend to submit your work is a crucial first step. According to the data, 21% of manuscripts are rejected by journals at the desk, and another 40% are rejected after peer review, often because editors feel the submission does not contribute to the “conversation” in their journal. For this reason, it is prudent to investigate how related studies have been presented prior to writing the manuscript. This will help you see your work in context and give you ideas for how to present your study in a manuscript so that it fills in the gaps in the literature and stands out from what has already been written.
How will you prepare a manuscript?
The next thing to do is to start preparing the manuscript. The majority of people find this section to be the most intimidating. The majority of academics in their early careers struggle to make sense of all their research data and improperly present it in a manuscript. In order to present ideas and thoughts more coherently for readers, experts recommend using the IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) structure.
