Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer. Part One — Checklist: Write

S: So, you’re nearly ready to submit your article to an academic journal, are you?
J: Yes, I think so. I just wanted to go over all the things I need to do before I submit it. And then I wanted to go over the submission process with you.
S: Great. So, firstly, you need to write an abstract. Make sure it’s short and concise.
J: Of course, I forgot all about that. And what about keywords?
S: Yes, a lot of students overlook this part and just jot down whatever comes to mind But take some time to make a list of keywords that are accurate and relevant.
J: Okay. Another thing, could you have a look at my article before I submit it?
S: Absolutely. Actually, at least two senior staff members should always read through a final draft, before submission.  Do you mind if I give it to professor James to have a look at, as well?
J: Not at all. I’d be glad to have the feedback.
S: Do you know which journal you want to submit to yet?
J: Not yet. I have a shortlist of about three that I’m interested in.
S: Make that decision soon. Because you’ll need to adjust your article so that it matches the style guide of the journal you are submitting to.
J: I bet that can take a while.
S: Yes, but after that you are just about ready to submit. One more thing, you’ll have to sign the copyright form — just confirming that it’s your own work — and then you’re good to go.
