A literature review is not a litany of what has been done before

Write the abstract last…

The title is important…especially in simulation journals
![Page 19: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pick the right journal for your manuscript
![Page 20: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Call or email an editor to talk about a topic
![Page 21: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Consider your audience
![Page 22: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Different styles for writing Scientific reporting
How we did it Opinion pieces
![Page 23: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Read several articles like the type you are writing, in the journal you
are going to submit to...
![Page 24: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“even when novice researchers include all the relevant facts in their
first manuscripts, peer reviewers often report a perception that something is
wrong with the manuscript.” Regan & Pietrobon, 2010
![Page 25: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

![Page 27: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
You can only submit a manuscript to ONE journal at a time…
really!!!!
![Page 28: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Read: Guidelines for Authors
of the journal… Do what it says…
![Page 29: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Review by colleagues is nice BUT…
• Ask them to be critical
• No matter what, you will still need to satisfy 2-3 reviewers from the journal…
• So…send it in!
![Page 30: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Uploading a manuscript can be exhausting
![Page 31: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Duties of the corresponding author
• READ THE DUTIES
• Will receive all correspondence about manuscript
• Responsible for all copyright issues
• Responsible for showing proofs to all authors for approval
• Responsible for author order
![Page 32: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The peer review process… “just bidness”
![Page 33: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Rewriting and editing your work
• Rewriting is the norm
• 2-3 edits is normal
• Read your work out loud
• Recheck after spell check
• Walk away…and read again in a week
![Page 34: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
There is no great writing, only great rewriting.
-Justice Brandeis

Responding to Reviewers
• Consider what is said
• Use a grid to explain what you did to address reviewers …or did not…say why
• Address each comment
• Final decision is the editors
![Page 36: Publish or perish: Getting your simulation results published](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012619/619ff200eecd5920ea48ef9f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Conflicting reviews
• Read and consider
• Address in your reply grid
• Explain your reasoning…
• It is ok to call an editor…
• Editor has final say
