Successfully getting a journal paper published is one of the most challenging aspects of a young researcher’s career. While acceptance or rejection depends heavily upon the original quality of one’s research, it is helpful to know more about selecting journals, the peer review process, and the point of view of receiving editors and reviewers. There are also important aspects related to disseminating your research to ensure it is read and cited more widely.
