NWU Research Support is proud to announce a Public Lecture titled "Get that Publication Accepted!!", facilitated by Chief Editor Nature Metabolism, Dr Christoph Schmitt.
Abstract
The chief editor of Nature Metabolism will give background to the editorial process from submission to acceptance, with a few tips in between that might help maximizing the chances of acceptance. Importantly, although the editorial process of Nature Metabolism will be used as an example, most of the points are general and would equally apply to submissions to other journals. All researchers and post graduate students should greatly benefit from this.
