Didactics-Editorial Process

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Pedro Ramirez, Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, outlines the process for submitting a manuscript to their journal. He highlights the importance of following the instructions for authors provided by the journal, including guidelines on manuscript completion and formatting. The editorial team evaluates the initial submission to ensure it addresses the scope of the journal and the reasons why the work is of interest to the gynecologic oncology community. They also check for plagiarism and evaluate word count, tables, and figures. If the manuscript meets the criteria, it is passed on to the editor-in-chief or associate editors, who decide if it will undergo formal review or be rejected. Reasons for rejection without review include lack of novelty or being out of scope. If accepted for review, the manuscript is sent to two reviewers, possibly three, who provide feedback. The editors make a decision based on this feedback, ranging from rejection to major or minor revisions. The authors must address each comment in a response letter and modify the manuscript accordingly. Once the revisions have been made and approved, the manuscript goes through medical edits, final proofs, and publication. Dr. Ramirez encourages authors to familiarize themselves with this process to increase their chances of acceptance. No credits are mentioned in the video.
