Guidelines

Submission

Submissions should be done using the online submission system found at the journals's site.

Resubmission

When you altered your paper in light of the peer reviewers’ comments and you have written a covering letter to the editor explaining the changes you made or refuting the reviewers’ comments, you are ready to resubmit. This is done electronically via the International Medical Publisher website. You will receive instructions on this with your decision email.  Try to resubmit as soon as you can. Generally, this makes it easier to do as the paper is still fresh in your mind. The scientific world moves very quickly so you want your work published before someone else produces similar work.  Once you have resubmitted you will see the status of the paper change. If you don’t see this or don’t get acknowledgment of your resubmission, check with the Editorial staff that they have received it.

After Acceptance

Important remarks

Once the Editor has received your revised paper, they will decide if the changes are acceptable. Occasionally they will send it back to one of the reviewers to see if they are happy with the changes. Once the Editor is satisfied, you will be notified that the paper has been accepted and will be prepared for publication. Kindly read your manuscript before it is sent to layout. We always try to publish an error free papers in International Medical Publisher Journals, so it is mandatory for Authors to proof read their papers meticulously, before they are copyedited.

Implementing changes after acceptance

Depending on production schedules you will receive a typeset galley proof of your paper within a few days of acceptance. The proof stage is NOT a time to alter data, conclusions, or add an author. These late, significant modifications will not be accepted. Even minor changes in contents should be avoided when possible as modifying pdf files implies overruns, and authors will be charged 60€ for doing these tasks.  Therefore editors and authors must ensure that the manuscript submitted for pdf production is in its final version and no changes on contents are neededWe recommend authors double-checking the final manuscript before starting the typesetting/layout works, including possible spelling typos and the article metadata such as title, authors, affiliation or contact detail.

When you receive the proofs It is EXTREMELY important that you check these carefully as this will be your last chance to correct any errors produced during the layout works prior to publication. Once you are happy with it, this is the form it will remain in for posterity. Please, check the paper carefully; look for errors of layout, references, and figures. Once you are happy with it, this is the form it will remain in for posterity. Only when we have received your approved proofs will they be published on the website of the journal and indexed. Changes after publication will not be allowed.
