1. Find a Journal

Find out the journals that could be best suited for publishing your research.

2. Prepare Your Paper to be Submitted

It is crucial that you adhere to the specific "guide for authors" of the journal you are submitting to. This can be found on the homepage of the journal. The Understanding the Publishing Process guide contains information about the publishing process. It addresses topics like author's rights, ethics, plagiarism, and journal and article metrics. If you have research data to share, you should read the author's guide to determine which options the journal provides for sharing research data alongside your article.

3. Publish and Revise

You can submit to most journals using our online submission systems. The methodology you employ will hinge on the journal to which you submit. Alternately, if you have been invited to submit to a journal, adhere to the given instructions. After submission, your paper will be reviewed by the editor, and if it passes the initial screening, it will be sent to authorities in your field for peer review. If your submission is considered unsuitable for publication in the journal of your choice, the editor may suggest that you submit it to another journal via an article transfer service.

4. Monitor Your Material

Follow the progress of your submitted paper. You can monitor the submission status of your paper online. You will use the same system to monitor your submission as you did to submit it. To trace your submission, use the reference number you received after submission. However, you can monitor the status of your article without a notification by entering your article's reference number and the author's last name in "Monitor Your Accepted Article".

5. Promote and Share

Now that your article has been published, you can promote it so that your research has a greater impact. Sharing your research, achievements, and goals with a larger audience increases your visibility in your field. This allows you to build a stronger reputation, promote your research, and advance your career by increasing the number of times you are cited.
