CHECKLIST TO USE BEFORE SUBMITTING A PAPER TO A JOURNAL
Have you --------------?
1 spell checked the whole paper? 2 rewritten your paper at least three times? 3 stopped working on your paper for a day?
To see and hear your words better when you look at it again. 4 put your main point into your title?
5 put your most significant findings first? Your gold first?
6 made it easy for readers to tell from your title and your abstract what is new and important about your work?
7 made sure all your verbs and subjects match?
Plural verbs have plural subjects? Singular verbs have singular subjects?
8 spelled the same name exactly the same way throughout your paper? NOT “Bragg. . . .Brag” BUT BRAGG every time!
9 asked a friend or a native English speaker to read your paper and tell you what’s confusing or unclear?
10 changed nouns to adjectives when necessary?
NOT “three dimension ordered array” BUT “three dimensional ordered array”
11 used active verbs rather than passive verbs as much as possible? NOT “The effects were investigated. . .” BUT “We investigated the effects”
12 found a way to break a sentence that’s much too long (over 4 lines) into two sentences?
13 broken up a paragraph that is way too long into two paragraphs? 14 tried to reduce your paper to its skeleton by making a one page outline of it?
Might help you see if your paper is organized in the best possible way.
15 Made all equivalent items look the same? NOT “scheme 1 . . . .Scheme 2” BUT “Scheme 1. . . Scheme 2”
16 removed all contractions, such as “can’t” or “couldn’t”? and changed them to “cannot” or “could not”?
17 checked the columns of numbers in your Tables and made all the decimal points in the same column line up vertically?
18 put a noun right after “this” or “these” every time you use one of those words?
19 moved “however” away from the beginning of sentences to a spot later
