Right path of publishing a scientific paper to a right journal:
Academic paper based case study
Sultan Ayoub Meo1, Muslim Muhammad Al-Saadi2
ABSTRACT
Publishing of scientific manuscript in a peer reviewed bio-medical journal is an important ingredient of research along with a career enhancing advantages and significant amount of personal satisfaction. Scientific publications are golden eggs of an academic life and disseminate knowledge. These encourage discussion within the professional community and develop the scholarly base. The road to publication often seems complicated for newer authors. Therefore, the current academic based case study describes the right path of publishing a scientific manuscript in a right journal. This paper describes the experience and discusses the schooling that was learnt from the process of rejection and finally getting a paper into publication. A case study approach was adopted to facilitate the readers to understand the different influences on getting their paper in print. The present case of an academic study demonstrates that getting into print of a paper depends on a wide range of factors including the built-in importance of the research work, quality of the written text and selection of the appropriate academic journal.
