In order to publish quality articles, journals must receive quality submissions from authors who are able to accept critiques of their articles and correct them appropriately. However many journals suffer from poor quality, or insufficient submissions. Too few submissions and editors are faced with the choice of lowering their standards or publishing too few articles, and a vicious cycle of poor quality can ensue. New or unindexed journals especially suffer from poor quality submissions. This can be exacerbated by regional focus whereby obtaining submissions from a wider community can be difficult to achieve.
This workshop looked at ways to encourage good authors to submit good research, and how to both engage with researchers, and to build trust and loyalty from them. Editors have the ability to influence an author’s decision on where to submit their work.
