  • EASE Guidelines Jubilee Article

    In May 2010 we published the first edition of the EASE Guidelines for Authors and Translators, and this month we are delighted to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a Jubilee article by their Editor, Sylwia Ufnalska.

    Sylwia has worked incredibly hard over these years to shape the contents, keep the the details and references current, and oversee the translation into 29 different language versions.

    The article, first published in our member Digest magazine, but made freely available to all to mark the occasion, tells the full story of the origins and impact these pivotal documents have had for EASE, our members, and further afield.

  • How to choose a journal and write a cover letter

    Vice-President of EASE, Duncan Nicholas, has published a new paper offering advice on journal selection, using recent evidence to inform the strategies presented and adding additional insights and tools.

    How to choose a journal and write a cover letter is part of the “How to write a scientific paper” special issue of the Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia – official publication of the Saudi Anaesthesia Society.

    The article provides details on the factors involved in optimal journal selection, giving insights into how to identify suitable journals, why particular criteria are important and ideal methods to approach this task. It also provides notes on supporting submissions with an effective cover letter.

    The supplementary materials include a spreadsheet tool for tracking information about potential titles of interest and submission details to make it easy for authors to build a list of suitable journals in their field and record submission progress.

    We have added this article alongside the existing resources in the Publishing and Editorial Issues section of our Toolkit for Authors.
