S-100: PANEL: JOURNAL SEMINAR: WRITING AND SUBMITTIING A PAPER TO AEROSPACE MEDICINE AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE

摘要

PANEL OVERVIEW: Peer-reviewed journals such as Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance (AMHP) publish formal reports on scientific studies, review and clinical observations. Publication in a journal like AMHP is a worthwhile achievement, but many potential authors are unfamiliar with the journal requirements or have been disappointed by having manuscripts rejected. The first hour of this presentation will provide authors with a systematic overview to writing an informative, readable manuscript and submitting it to AMHP using our web-based system, Editorial Manager. The journal staff will discuss the requirements for various article types as set forth in the Information for Authors. They will explain how the author can avoid problems as a manuscript passes through three sets of hands: the editorial office for review of content, the publishing office for copy editing, and the printer for conversion and typesetting. The final half-hour of the presentation will be devoted to peer review, a widely accepted process by which journals assure the quality of published papers. This presentation will acquaint authors with the peer review process and help new reviewers understand what is expected of them and how the editor uses their reports. Journal staff members will be available throughout the week to talk with authors and referees regarding journal content and processes.
