-===== Step 5: Determine Who Will Submit =====
+====== Tips for Submitting Your Manuscript ======
-  * If you are an author, create an account for yourself on the journal submission site. If you are not corresponding author, determine whether the corresponding author is required to submit. In this case, you will need to log in to the journal submission site via the client’s account.
+===== Find Submission Guidelines =====
-  * If you are not an author, determine whether the journal allows non-authors to submit (many do not). In this case, you will need to log in to the journal submission site via the client’s account.
+  * Once you choose your journal and write the manuscript, you will want to look carefully at submission guidelines.
+  * Failure to follow the guidelines could cause your manuscript to be sent back to you.
+  * Pay particular attention to limits on the number of words in the abstract and text as well as limits on the numbers of tables, figures, and references.

+===== Start Collecting Necessary Information =====
-===== Step 6: Getting Materials Ready to Upload =====
+  * Determine if any submission forms, checklists, copyright agreements, patient consent forms, or conflict of interest forms need to be submitted with the manuscript.
+  * [[https://www.equator-network.org|EQUATOR]] has checklists that you can download for different types of studies (for instance, observational studies, systematic reviews, and randomized trials).
+  * You will want to obtain the emails, academic credentials, and addresses of every author.
+  * Some journals will also require that the individual submitting the article have an ORCID account. Researchers can apply for an account free of charge on the [[https://orcid.org|ORCID website]].
-  * Before submitting your manuscript, you will want to accept all track changes. To do this in Word, go to Review > Accept > Accept All Changes and Stop Tracking.
+----
-  * The submission guidelines may also ask for line numbers. In Word, go to Layout > Line Numbers.
-===== Step 7: Submit Article =====
+===== Tips for Writing Your Cover Letter =====
-  * Once you are ready to submit, you will create an author submission username and password.
+  * You will need to write a cover letter from the corresponding author that is addressed to the journal editor.
-  * At Superior Medical Experts, we keep an active spreadsheet of all of this information called “Client manuscript account info.”
-  * Upon submitting your manuscript, you will want to periodically check its status. This will require that you remember the journal name as well as your username and password.
+Here is a {{:wiki:guide:cover_letter.docx|cover letter template}} that you can use.
-  * At Superior Medical Experts, we recommend looking into the submission status every couple of weeks. The review process for many journals generally takes about 1 month.

-=== If the manuscript is rejected ===
+===== How to Make Blinded Copies of Manuscripts =====
-  * Determine whether the editors recommend revisions or not.
+  * A lot of medical journals will require that you have a blinded or anonymous copy of your manuscript. You will see this in the submission guidelines if required.
-  * Read through all reviewer comments.
+  * A blinded copy should not have any information in it that would allow you to identify authors or institutions.
-  * Notify the client and give suggestions.
+  * From the title page, you will want to remove author names and institutions and replace them with the words “redacted.”
-  * Begin revising based on reviewer comments and either resubmit or submit to new journal.
+  * At the end of the manuscript, you will also want to delete acknowledgments, contributions, disclosures, funding, and any specific details about institutional review boards and replace them with the word “redacted.”
