Abstract:Publishingpapers in peer-refereed academic journals is an important job for all academicresearchers and scholars. However, most authors only prepare their manuscriptsfor publication from their own perspectives, without considering what thejournal editors actually want. This may lead to many rejection cases. In thistalk, as an editor of various well-established journals in the field ofOperations Management and Systems Engineering, I will share my experience onwhat editors think and how they manage submissions nowadays. I will alsopropose some quick tips to authors to help enhance their success rate inacademic publication.
