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 With so many researchers entering the academic ecosystem, how can you give your unpublished manuscript an edge?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. Interact online with other delegates during conferences and industry events. Use X, formally Twitter, to find out the official hashtag and tweet during and after sessions.

Dr. Chien-Kuo Chang, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan


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).

Open Access – What’s in It for Me?

In this article, Emma Bartovsky, Senior Transformative Agreement Success Manager at IOP Publishing, explains why open access can be a game changer for researchers.
Get more eyes on your work

When your work is published behind a paywall, it’s only those with a subscription who can access it. Even then, they have to be logged in, sitting within their institutional IP range or using a remote access method. Although there are many initiatives and technologies designed to make this easier, readers often need to put in the extra effort to access your paper. When work is published open access it’s immediately available to everyone, with no extra steps, logins or barriers to get over. Simply put, if someone wants to read your work, they can do so effortlessly.

So, it makes sense that open access papers are downloaded more times than papers published behind the paywall. We analyzed the difference and found an average increase of 70% higher downloads for open access than non-open access. And to make the comparison more accurate we took papers published within the same journal, to minimize any differences for subject area and reach between different journals.  The same uplift was evident when it came to citations, with open access papers being cited 12% more than non-open access articles in the same journal.

Encourage serendipity

Open access means free to everyone, and access is no longer restricted to researchers at institutions who have paid for it. We’ve heard many times that authors publishing open access have been surprised at some of the connections they have made. Your work can reach the public, journalists and experts in other fields. By publishing open access, you can open doors to unexpected connections and collaborations, and who knows what insights might emerge?

Share the very best version of your paper

Many authors want to get their research out there as soon as possible, and use early sharing platforms such as arXiv. These are called pre-prints, which refers to the version of an article before peer review or editing. In other words, exactly the way it was submitted to the journal.

Preprints are freely available, so some authors question the need to publish their paper open access. But the final version, or ‘version of record’ – the one that undergoes peer review, editing formatting and typesetting – is widely acknowledged by the scientific community as the preferred and most credible source. Open access ensures that this version reaches a wider audience complete with enhancements and corrections.

 

In summary, open access isn’t just about breaking down paywalls, it’s also about increasing impact, fostering connections and sharing your research in its best form. A win-win for you and the global scientific community. To find out more about open access and our helpful tools, visit our Open Access Resource Page.

Did you know? Many researchers can publish open access at no cost to themselves through a transformative agreement. Find out if your institution could cover your open access costs.
