Increase Publication Chances: Why Comprehensive Technical Feedback and Artwork Formatting Matter

person writing article

The global pool of researchers is growing rapidly. Between 2014 and 2018, it grew three times faster than the population. With so many researchers entering the academic ecosystem, how can you give your unpublished manuscript an edge?

Achieving publication success hinges on more than just a compelling narrative and robust arguments. It demands meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of your manuscript. Professional editing services play a crucial role in this process by not only refining language and formatting, but also offering expert evaluation.

A comprehensive technical review of your paper can provide several key benefits:

  • Overall structure improvement: A good technical review will offer insights on every aspect of your research, from the study design to literature review to the presentation of the results.
  • Specific technical inputs: Some editing services have teams of experts, who have published and peer-reviewed papers in major journals, that can provide incisive comments and pre-empt reviewer concerns.
  • Clear reporting of results: Technical reviews offer perspectives on the robustness of your data analysis and the logical flow of your reasoning, both of which are critical for acceptance.
  • Consistency of figures: A mislabeled legend or incorrectly gradated axis can cause a mismatch between your figure and manuscript text. A technical review ensures that such inconsistencies are addressed before submission.

At IOP Publishing, we offer a Rapid Technical Review service designed to closely resemble the peer review process. We provide a detailed technical report within five days, along with actionable recommendations to enhance your manuscript. Additionally, our Artwork Preparation service ensures your figures are consistent and meet journal requirements, without you having to expend precious time and effort or the purchase cost of special graphics software.

Trust IOP Publishing to provide the expert feedback and support you need for manuscript success. Visit our website today: https://editing.iopscience.iop.org/

5 Things You Should Be Doing After Publishing Your Research Article

In this article, Hazel Rowland, Associate Marketing Manager at IOP Publishing, shares what researchers can do to increase the potential impact of their article once they have published.

“Congratulations, you have published your research. But don’t stop there. It’s important to amplify your research, to ensure the scientific community, and beyond, gets to see it.

As a marketer working for a non-profit scientific publishing company, I have some top tips which you can follow to help you get your research out into the world and making an impact.”

 

  1. Work with your publisher: We have several ways to help promote your papers. By working with your publisher and getting involved—like sharing on social media, providing testimonials and tagging your work—you can give your research an extra boost and make it more visible on various marketing platforms. 
  2. Socials: Ensure you are using your own social media channels to promote your research and engage with the scientific community and institutions. Don’t forget to tag your publisher’s account, journal accounts if there are any, institutions and any of the relevant researchers included in your work. You can also use social media to get involved in relevant online discussions around your research. The best way to grow your audience online is to share your research and interact with your followers. You could even include video content to explain your research further.
  3. Tell a story with your research: Explain, in lay terms, why your research is important. Reach out to science magazines, podcasts, blogs and media outlets, such as Physics World, drawing out key themes from your research, and what it aims to achieve.
  4. Use the support and networks available to you: Start by contacting your institution’s press office for guidance on promoting your work. Reach out to colleagues in your field to see if they have connections with relevant media, journalists or blog sites. Share your research with colleagues who have a strong social media following or a relevant contact list. Additionally, explore scholarly collaboration networks like ResearchGate and Scopus. Consider emailing those you’ve referenced in your article, as well as key figures in the field, with links to your work. You can also connect with those citing your work on Altmetrics; if a blog, podcast or researcher from another field has mentioned your work, it might open the door to valuable collaboration opportunities.
  5. Events: When attending in-person events, bring along flyers, including QR codes, linking to your article. Distribute these while you network amongst researchers with similar research interests.

Dr Chien-Kuo Chang Dr. Chien-Kuo Chang is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at NTUST. His article, Study of partial discharges measurement cycles effect on defect recognition for underground cable joints was published under the transformative agreement with the Physics Research Promotion Center in Taiwan

Congratulations on your latest paper. Can you tell us about your latest findings?

The duration of the PRPD pattern directly corresponds to the number of partial discharges (PDs) detected per measurement cycle. Following data analysis in five different measurement cycle durations: 40, 80, 120, 200, and 1200 cycles, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained on 200 measurement cycles exhibits exceptional performance. This result highlights the significance of an adequate number of measurement cycles in obtaining comprehensive PRPD patterns and ensuring precise defect classification.

How would you describe the publication process through the transformative agreement?
My experience is easy and fast. The most exciting part is that I did not have to pay.

What benefits did you see from publishing your work open access?
I believe that open access can enhance the diversity of sharing findings. It is worth noting that the quality of reviews at IOP is high and expert.

Do you have any word of advice for other authors interested in publishing open access through a transformative agreement?
I totally agree with the policy of publishing open access through a transformative agreement because it prevents qualified and valuable research findings from being buried by article processing charges (APC).
