Step 2: Organizing Your Research and Submissions

Keeping Track of Submissions:: Do you have an organized way to keep track of where you are going to submit your manuscript? Creating an Excel or Google spreadsheet is ideal for this organizational process. Include the key organizations, people, contact info and the status of your submission, as well as any other notes you think will be helpful along the way.
Have You Tapped Into All Your Resources? Sometimes it is easy to stay in your own head when writing an in-depth paper. However, don’t forget you also have many outside resources to help you in your research, writing, peer review and submission processes. Look for those who have already been around the block and get any tidbits of advice they might be able to offer you before diving in.
