2 Your goal is not only to be published, but also to be widely read and cited Be an effective communicator Choose the right audience Communicate clearly with journal editors/reviewers S
3 Section 1 Journal Selection
4 Journal Selection Meet Dr Hanako Tanaka Dr Hanako Tanaka Assistant Professor Environmental Toxicology Fukuoka Institute of Science and Technology Study showed that increased heavy metal contamination led to increased cognitive impairments in children
5 Journal Selection Meet Dr Hanako Tanaka Dr Hanako Tanaka Assistant Professor Environmental Toxicology Fukuoka Institute of Science and Technology Should she: A. Write her manuscript first? B. Choose the journal first?
6 Journal Selection Choose your journal first! Author guidelines Manuscript structure Word limits Reference style Relevant references Aims and scope Topics Readership Be sure to emphasize Writing style Before choosing a journal, you need to evaluate your findings
7 Journal Selection What should she consider? Novelty Findings support previous research showing correlation between heavy metal contamination and cognitive impairments First to demonstrate industrial contamination of soil close to schools associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment of children Incremental advance
8 Journal Selection Novelty Conceptual advance First to show heavy metal contamination has cognitive effects Medium to high impact factor journal Incremental advance Builds on what is already known Low to medium impact factor journal
9 Journal Selection What is the Impact Factor? Average number of citations a journal has from articles published in the previous 2 years Formula for the 2014 Impact Factor: Number of citations in 2014 to items published in Articles and reviews published in Example: 120 citations in 2014 (to items published in ) 80 Articles and reviews published in = 1.5
10 Journal Selection Impact Factor Why it matters to you Higher IF may mean higher visibility Frequent website visits ed table of contents (etocs) Often used as metric for success Funding agencies University committees
11 Journal Selection Low medium impact factor journal (~2 3)
12 Journal Selection What to consider? Relevance where is it relevant? Study site: Kagoshima, Japan Are these findings only applicable to Japan? Study showed that increased heavy metal contamination led to increased cognitive impairments in children

17 Journal Selection What to consider? Relevance to whom is it relevant? Specialized? Only environmental scientists? Broad? Other disciplines? Environmental scientists Government policymakers Occupational health practitioners Cognitive scientists
18 Journal Selection What to consider? Relevance to whom is it relevant? Choose an environmental science journal with a broad audience Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry (IF=2.83) Interdisciplinary journal that integrates environmental toxicology, environmental chemistry, ecology, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, genomics, environmental engineering, environmental modeling, epidemiology, and earth sciences. Broad audience, but not the appropriate audience
19 Journal Selection What to consider? Relevance to whom is it relevant?

Broad and appropriate audience
20 Journal Selection Low medium impact factor journal (~2 3) International journal Broad-focused journal
21 Journal Selection What to consider? Open access? Free for everyone to download and read But may have to pay fees (100, ,000 yen) So why would authors want to pay?
22 Journal Selection Open access Increased accessibility Researchers worldwide can download/read your paper Government/industry 1 Emerging markets Author retains copyright Increased downloads OA articles downloaded more often 2 Social network advantage 3 More impact in the field Published immediately online Fewer restrictions on word/figure limits (online only) 1. Davis PM. Faseb J. 2011; 25: ncomms-report2014.pdf 3. Allen et al. PLoS ONE. 2013; 8: e68914
23 Journal Selection Open access myths The quality of OA journals is not good OA journals have the same peer review process as subscription-based journals IFs are lower partly because they are newer Less visibility in the field Fewer citations
24 Journal Selection Predatory journals Some OA journals are not good Easy way to get money from authors Promise quick and easy publication Often ask for a submission/handling fee If you are ever unsure, please check Beall s List of Predatory Publishers
25 Journal Selection Trustworthy journals Reputable publisher Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, PLoS, etc. Editorial board International and familiar Indexed Indexed by common databases Authors Do you recognize the authors? Fees Only paid after acceptance

44 Coverage letters and Staffing Plan Is this a good cover letter? No! Dear Editor-in-Chief, Not personally addressed I am sending you our manuscript entitled Techniques to detect entanglement in cats by Schrodinger et al. We would like to have the manuscript considered for publication in Quantum Theory Frontiers. Please let me know of your decision at your earliest convenience. Sincerely yours, Albert Einstein, PhD Not enough information about the manuscript
45 Coverage letters and Staffing Plan A good cover letter Dear Dr Lippman, Editor s name Manuscript title Please find enclosed our manuscript entitled Evaluation of the Glasgow prognostic score in patients undergoing curative resection for breast cancer liver metastases, which we would like to submit for publication as an Original Article in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment. The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) is of value for a variety of tumours. Several studies have investigated the prognostic value of the GPS in patients with metastatic breast cancer, but few studies have performed such an investigation for patients undergoing liver resection for liver metastases. Furthermore, there are currently no studies that have examined the prognostic value of the modified GPS (mgps) in these patients. The present study evaluated the mgps in terms of its prognostic value for postoperative death in patients undergoing liver resection for breast cancer liver metastases. A total of 318 patients with breast cancer liver metastases who underwent hepatectomy over a 15-year period were included in this study. The mgps was calculated based on the levels of C-reactive protein and albumin, and the disease-free survival and cancer-specific survival rates were evaluated in relation to the mgps. Prognostic significance was retrospectively analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. Overall, the results showed a significant association between cancer-specific survival and the mgps and carcinoembryonic antigen level, and a higher mgps was associated with increased aggressiveness of liver recurrence and poorer survival in these patients. Article type Give the background to the research What was done and what was found This study is the first to demonstrate that the preoperative mgps, a simple clinical tool, is a useful prognostic factor for postoperative survival in patients undergoing curative resection for breast cancer liver metastases. This information is immediately clinically applicable for oncologists treating such patients. As a premier journal covering the broad field of cancer, we believe that the Breast Cancer Research and Treatment is the perfect platform from which to share our results with the international medical community. We would also like to suggest the following reviewers for our manuscript Recommend reviewers & Publication ethics declarations Interest to journal s readers
