The article is the best

TYou’ve been working on the article for a while, you’ve even got a manuscript written. You’re happy and you’ve done enough research, you’ve read your draft and made changes to the text. You ask yourself, “Is my article ready to be submitted to a journal?”

If you submit too early, the editor may reject the article because the argument is underdeveloped or the text is confusing. On the other hand, you may never submit if you are continually revising the draft. Eventually, you have to stop and submit, or the article and its exciting contents will stay on your hard drive forever. You have to remember that submitting your article is a win–win situation. If the editor accepts your article, everyone can finally read your research. Even if your article gets rejected you may receive reviews that give you valuable feedback to improve your article, increasing your chances of it being accepted by the next journal.

So, have you reached that point where the article is ready to be submitted? There’s no simple answer, but if you are the one asking the question, you may feel the article is nearly ready, so I have two recommendations before you to click the submit button.
