Common Mistakes in Manuscripts Submitted for Publication
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
We prefer articles that are short and focused. An extensive review of the literature on a subject are for review articles and it is not the main purpose for publishing original studies or case reports. Well prepared articles makes it easier for editors and peer reviewers to evaluate the scientific content of the paper which is the main consideration for publication. We strongly recommend authors to carefully review the instructions to authors before submitting their manuscripts. A rejection or a delay in publication is very likely for manuscripts not prepared according to the guidelines of the MOJ.
