    Most top peer-reviewed journals have acceptance rates that are about 10% or even lower. Even the most path-breaking research can be rejected if the corresponding manuscript doesn’t meet the basic editorial parameters or fails to respond to the peer reviewer’s comments appropriately.

    In this two-part program brought to you by Euraxess and Editage, you will learn how to structure your research manuscript effectively and get tips on handling peer review comments to increase your chances of acceptance in top journals. The first lecture will equip you with all the information needed to draft a stunning research paper as per the IMRaD format, with practical tips and advice on structuring each section of your paper. You will also learn how to organize bibliographic references, use the right quantitative expressions, and identify predatory journals. The second lecture will prepare you to deal with reviewer comments appropriately with useful pointers, case-based advice, and sample responses to reviewer comments. By the end of this cohesive program, you will be able to structure your manuscript to impress journal editors and handle the peer review process with more confidence.
