(Editorial) Publishing in the Journal of Technology and Teacher Education: Recommendations and strategies based upon 2015 journal submission data

August 2016
Journal of Information Techology for Teacher Education 24(2):117-126

Authors:

Kent State University

The Journal of Technology and Teacher Education is one of the leading journals that publishes empirical and theoretical work at the intersection of technology and teacher education. JTATE traditionally has a very low acceptance rate (~6-9%), leading many potential authors to seek deeper insight on a more successful review process. Readers can learn a lot about a journal based on what is published; this editorial explores data from manuscripts that were published as well as those that were rejected. Results suggest rejected and accepted papers differ in their: a) scope; b) research depth; c) use of literature; d) inclusion of data; and, e) depth and breadth of discussion and implications. The editorial ends with a review of topics submitted in 2015 compared to current topics in technology and teacher education.

Writing Theory and Modeling Papers For Langmuir – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

January 2018 · Langmuir

Langmuir has a long tradition of publishing excellent theory and modeling papers. As of the time of writing, for example, two modeling papers from 2013 are among the most cited 10 papers in Langmuir from that year [1,2] and the most cited paper from Langmuir in 2016 is a theory and modeling paper [3]. At the same time, many manuscripts using theory and modeling are submitted to Langmuir but are ... [Show full abstract] ultimately rejected. Although Langmuir has a mandate to publish the highest quality work of all kinds relevant to interface science, there are some issues that exist that are specific to considering work based on theory and modeling. In this Editorial, we give our perspectives as writers, readers and editors on how to write excellent theory and modeling papers for Langmuir. We hope these perspectives will be useful to authors and also to Langmuir’s reviewers.

Globalization of neurology: Development of the WFN Journal of the Neurological Sciences

January 2014 · Neurology

Robert P Lisak

For the past 15-plus years I have had the pleasure and honor of serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Neurological Sciences (JNS), the journal of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN). Although virtually all English-language journals, certainly in neurology and neuroscience, are "international" in scope, origin of manuscripts, and to a relatively modest degree in the makeup of ... [Show full abstract] editorial boards and ad hoc reviewers, as the official journal of the WFN our editorial board is by design international. In addition, we have purposely attempted to encourage submissions from all countries and regions, as defined by the WFN. Because English is not the first or sometimes even the second language of many of the authors, we have been lenient in the number of revisions we allow when language is the issue. The publisher, Elsevier, provides a list of individuals in several countries who can be hired to help with language problems. On occasion we receive a manuscript that is virtually incomprehensible, and we are forced to reject the manuscript.

Moving Forward

January 2009 · Chemistry - An Asian Journal

Brian Johnson

Successful journals, just like successful researchers, must also be ready to adapt to developing trends and respond accordingly. Now that Chemistry—An Asian Journal has reached its “four-front” of quality publishing with this first issue of the fourth volume, it will now do even more to keep its readers at the forefront of their scientific endeavors. The decision to publish Communications in ... [Show full abstract] Chemistry—An Asian Journal was reached after much encouraging feedback from the scientific community and in response to the increases in submissions at Chemistry—An Asian Journal as well as at its sister journals. Moreover, we have seen that authors and readers have embraced the new Communications section in our sister journal Chemistry—A European Journal, which started publishing Communications at the beginning of 2008 and has already received well over 500 such submissions in the first year. The inclusion of a Communications section in Chemistry—An Asian Journal was recently finalized through unanimous support from the representative ACES member societies. In the official announcement about the new section (see the Editorial in Issue 10/2008: Chem. Asian J.2008, 3, 1740), Chairman of the Editorial Board Ryoji Noyori calls the side-by-side publication of Communications and Full Papers a natural balance, but also emphasizes the crucial importance – particularly to young researchers – of also writing Full Papers that tell a complete scientific story. Indeed, this balance carries significant benefits for authors and readers alike, and now Chemistry—An Asian Journal will be able to provide even better service by combining the best of both worlds – rapid dissemination of the most recent scientific developments in balance with comprehensive full papers. The formal Call for Communications has been answered with enthusiasm, and the first Communications will be published starting with the next issue. Some of these contributions can already be found on the journal’s homepage in the EarlyView section. Furthermore, we welcome your next excellent Communication; details on manuscript preparation can be found in the Notice to Authors in this issue, as well as on the journal’s homepage (www.chemasianj.org).
