You have spent many hours at the lab or in the field, where you collected the data in a meticulously organized manner, performed complicated analyses, and made up a manuscript that is a big addition to your field. You are at the edge of a career-defining situation – the difference between finished work and the publication of an article, peer reviewed. However, this last phase seems to be the most difficult challenge of all to several researchers, a complex, multi-level process in which the smallest slip can result in an upsetting rejection that puts your timeline months behind. We know that at Mars Publications, your time is a precious resource, limited in nature, and best used in the future in research and innovation, rather than running through the maze of academic publishing. It is where the power of transformative research consultancy and the specialized Journal Submission Assistance comes in. We are the medium that will help your quality research work to reach the global limelight where it belongs, and a cumbersome role of administration becomes a smooth channel to success.
The issues of publication are ubiquitous to the world of research. Publishing is no longer a question of quality of the science, but rather a question of observing a painstaking, constantly changing system of editorial and ethical norms. Going by our experience of several years, we can say that the rejection reasons are not always associated with the novelty of your findings, but it is the administrative and strategic errors on the submissions. Sending your manuscript to an inappropriate journal is the most common cause of desk rejection, which means that you need to critically evaluate a journal and its goals and scope, its readership, and its measures, which include much more than just an Impact Factor. Moreover, the nightmare of formatting and compliance is a universal one: each and every of the journals has particular requirements on word counts, citation style, figure resolution and required declarations. Even one typographical mistake sends out a message to a harried editor that the attention to detail is not taken seriously and can lead to an immediate, pre-read rejection, squandering time and effort.
In addition to the technicals, you have to create an ideal story. Your letter must be a clear and convincing narration, which starts with the Cover Letter. This is the first impression that your paper makes and it should be a strong and brief pitch, which makes your findings in the world innovative and meaningful and what exactly makes the readers of the journal aware that they should see your work at this moment. Your Abstract, which is the most read part of your paper, should also clearly explain the gap in the research you are analyzing, the methodology, the key findings and impact in a highly structured and exciting way. Even brilliant data can be lost in case your writing is ambiguous, overloaded with jargon and does not provide a clear narrative flow. Lastly, even the peer-review process that is notoriously lengthy and rigorous may be a challenge. Revise and Resubmit decision involves a clear, professional and strategic reply to the reviews made by the reviewers, a poorly written rebuttal letter can kill all your publishing work. You must not only show that you have complied with changes requested but also you must be able to put a defense on your original work where it is appropriate.
This is the reason why Mars Publications has been able to shepherd thousands of researchers to be published in the best journals in all fields. Our special Journal Submission Assistance is a holistic, full-service support apparatus which aims to remove each of these areas of agony. We do not guess; we strategize. Our consultants apply highly specific tools and knowledge of the trends of academic publishing to produce a hyper-targeted shortlist of journals to publish your work, specifically targeting prestigious internationally indexed journals, including journals ranked as high-ranking journals in both Scopus and Web of science. We also carefully address the technical accuracy, formatting all the contents of your manuscript such as the title page and reference list to figures and tables, so that it complies with the demanding Instructions to Authors of your preferred journal, eliminating the most significant cause of first rejection.
Moreover, we are your personal submission manager, editorial strategist. Our team of experienced editors creates that irresistible cover letter that makes the journal editor listen to you so that the novelty of your research is just brought to the fore. We also assume the administrative role of creating the accounts on the complicated online submission portals, properly uploading all files, and properly entering all the metadata and other required declarations. More importantly, we are also committed to the submission itself. We keep track of the progress of your manuscript, do all the requisite communication with the editorial office, and in the most critical of situations, call a “Revise and Resubmit” verdict, we are there by your side. We examine the comments of the reviewer, suggest amendments needed, and write an effective argumentative, point by point refutation letter that is a sure way of ensuring your final acceptance and publication. We feel that at Mars Publications we do not see brilliant research being limited by the complexities of bureaucracy. It is our mission to assist you in making the next move in your academic career by offering the professional assistance that can see your contribution to science delivered to the most appropriate people, in the most appropriate way and at the most appropriate time.
The administrative streams of publishing should not hold up your academic progress and the reward your work requires. Collaborate with Mars Publications and leave the bridge to us, and then you can have a chance to concentrate on the future of your work and make an indelible mark in your discipline.
