Key factors for publishing research in top-tier journals

According to the cardinal rule, “a scientific experiment is not complete until the results have been published” (Kate Devine, 2001). Every authors hoped that their paper to get published but however not everyone are lucky, usually most of the submitted papers are rejected for the reason that the study design is flawed or poor and lack of detail in methods.

Every paper submitted is reviewed thoroughly, in PLoS ONE, “to determine whether or not the paper reach the level of importance” [2], through peer review. In addition, “these journals are rigorously edited and require very sound science and results that have meaning and application in the field. Other journals have a much lower rejection rate and are not as tightly edited, but they generally contain good research.” [1]

  2. Not everyone is lucky in publishing a research paper in top tier journals. Yes, as stated every paper submitted is reviewed thoroughly by the evaluating team whether it qualify to its standard or not. As we know that all research that have successfully chosen to published in top tier journals contained several advantages and benefits if fully implemented in a particular field.
