    "Besides seeing projects as complex in space, the prolific also see them as complex in time. While novice writers see writing as "just writing," the prolific see it as a process consisting of these or similar stages: 1.        Conceptualization (a.k.a. note-taking or "noodling around") 2.        Planning and outlining (a little more structured than above) 3.        Research 4.        First Draft 5.        Revision(s) 6.        Final Draft 7.        Submission(s) 8.        Cash the Check (for freelance and other writers who get paid)" (Tales of Space and Time, ¶1).

  • A published paper has an abstract as a way for fellow researchers and students to quickly glance at whether the paper is useful for them. But an abstract is a very short, concise report of the research paper. A lay summary can expand on that and take the important information such as results and make them more prominent.

  • 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/).
  • Publishers have worked hard over the last decade to streamline the submission process and reduce the time from submission to publication, but this does not address the issue that causes the largest delay, which is having to reformat and resubmit papers to multiple journals.

      When Michael Clarke started blogging for The Scholarly Kitchen in 2009, he was "currently principal for Clarke Publishing Group." He also had "worked at the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the University of Chicago Press" (Welcome Michael Clarke to the Kitchen, http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2009/06/15/welcome-michael-clarke-to-the-kitchen/).

    This post provided reflections from multiple perspectives on prospects for streamlining submission and reviewing of scholarly articles. The blog on which it appeared seems to partially fulfil the mission of the Society for Scholarly Publishing (sidebar blurb).
