Ask The Chefs: How Can We Improve the Article Review and Submission Process? | The Scho... - 0 views

  • One challenge I’m considering is how we can better capture and surface information that is currently lost in the submission process. For example, many journals ask for highlights, key findings, implications, publicity/outreach summaries, statements of novelty and so on as part of the submission process, to assist editorial triage and review. Often, this information is never published alongside the article. Why not?

      When Charlie Rapple joined the crew in The Scholarly Kitchen in Feb. 2015, David Crotty wrote: "Charlie is a co-founder of Kudos, which helps researchers, institutions, funders and publishers maximize the visibility of research (covered in 2013 in this post). Charlie is also the Associate Director of strategic publishing consultancy TBI Communications, Treasurer of UKSG, and an Associate Editor of Learned Publishing" (Welcoming a New Chef into the Kitchen: Charlie Rapple, http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2015/02/23/welcoming-a-new-chef-into-the-kitchen-charlie-rapple/).

      When Michael Clarke started blogging for The Scholarly Kitchen in 2009, he was "currently principal for Clarke Publishing Group."

    "This guide provides an overview of the process of preparing and submitting a scholarly manuscript for publication in a psychology journal. Drawing on the experiences of authors of scholarly writings, peer reviewers, and journal editors, we seek to demystify the publication process and to offer advice designed to improve a manuscript's prospects of publication. To exemplify the process, we describe specific publication procedures for journals of the American Psychological Association." (APA, 2010, p. 1)
