Abstract

Good manuscripts are sought by journals and publication marks the endpoint of a scientific research project. In preparing a manuscript for submission, the material should be organised into a structure that best showcases the author's material. The manuscript should be written in a style that transmits the author's message with clarity. The author's material should be matched to the most appropriate paper category and the target journal. Having the help of an experienced mentor is invaluable. Authors need to prepare the manuscript meticulously and exactly according to the journal's "Instructions to Authors".
