Every year there is good quality research that doesn’t achieve publication. Sometimes it is not written up at all, or a manuscript may be written and submitted to a journal, only to be thrown out because it does not meet the required standard.
Perhaps this isn’t surprising, because writing a manuscript is not easy. For this reason we have produced the “5 Steps to ...” series, in order to guide you through the process and to maximise interest and readership once you have achieved publication.
