| Summary: | In an earlier CQ editorial (Vol. 19, No. 1, January 2010,) we offered some suggested “Do’s and Don’ts” for authors submitting papers to bioethics journals and we invited readers’ comments, including their own experiences. Responses from readers were prompt, numerous, and sometimes battle scarred. They fell into two categories: (1) advice intended for fellow authors and (2) comments directed at editors regarding the review process. Examples of suggestions for fellow authors included: “When you send a paper to a journal, already have your cover letter prepared for your next choice so if a rejection comes your disappointment won’t feel like such a setback.” and “Before submitting a paper, always have it critiqued by colleagues you trust to tell you the truth not just what you want to hear—and more than one if possible.” and “Carefully check your submission correspondence. I once sent a paper to a journal erroneously addressed to a rival publication in the cover letter—I never heard anything back.” |
