Presenter: A/Professor Louise Ada
How do you decide where to send your paper? What do reviewers look for when reviewing a paper for publication? Why do some authors get published relatively easily, while others struggle to have their papers accepted? How can you give your work the best chance of being accepted? Louise Ada (Scientific Editor, AJP, Chair of the International Society of Physiotherapy Journal Editors, and a member of several other journal Editorial Boards) and members of the AJP Editorial Boards will unravel some of the mysteries and discuss strategies to increase your chances of being accepted by the journal at the top of your list.
