Checks before submission
• A submitted manuscript should not contain typos, missing methods/references/poor figures; if it looks sloppy, reviewers WILL assume the same about your science
• It must be in the style appropriate for that journal!!
• Are all co-authors agreed and signed up on the paper?
• Do you have a list of potential reviewers?
• Upon submission, think about the weak spots in your study and consider if there are studies you might undertake in case reviewers ask about these
