Inside an Editor’s First Read: A Live Manuscript Review

Thursday, 12 February 2026

Before peer review begins, every manuscript goes through a critical first screening by the journal editor. In many cases, decisions are made within minutes often leading to desk rejection due to issues that could have been addressed before submission.

To help researchers understand what truly happens during this initial editorial assessment, we invite you to a free, live webinar featuring a real-time manuscript review led by an experienced academic editor.

What Journals Ask For vs What Authors Submit: Common Gaps and How to Close Them

Tuesday, 24 February 2026

Many manuscripts face repeated revisions or unnecessary delays not because the research is weak, but because they do not fully align with what journals actually expect.

Journal guidelines may appear clear, yet common gaps between editorial requirements and typical author submissions continue to slow down the review process.

To help researchers bridge this divide, we invite you to a free, example-driven webinar that examines the most frequent mismatches between what journals ask for and what authors submit and how to close those gaps effectively.
