Scientific publishing is a natural part of the research endeavor as it marks the end of one project and the start of another.  Even so, the actual publication process spanning from manuscript submission, initial editorial evaluation, peer-review and the journal’s decision to publish a given manuscript may appear mysterious from the author’s perspective.  In high profile, high impact journals where the published manuscripts are given exposure to the widest audience possible, the manuscript selection process can be especially arduous and competitive at times.  This presentation will discuss the general issues and framework of publishing in high profile scientific journals, and will explain the editorial process and manuscript selection in Nature Neuroscience. Also included in the discussion are suggestions for efficient writing of scientific manuscripts and rebuttal letters, potential utility of presubmission inquiry, and transference of manuscripts and reviews from one journal to another in Nature Publishing Group’s portfolio and beyond.

 

Min Cho, Ph.D. is a senior editor of Nature Neuroscience where he manages the selection of original research manuscripts for publication.  He received his doctorate degree in molecular biology and neuroscience from Princeton University where he investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying mammalian learning and memory processes.  Using genetic engineering techniques in mice, he continued this work at Boston University before joining Nature Neuroscience in late 2007.  Prior to his formal training, he coordinated a clinical and academic research program at the Cardiovascular Research Institute at the University of California, San Francisco on projects concerning genetic and molecular basis of cardiovascular diseases and lipid/cholesterol disorders. Prior to his non-neuroscience stint at UCSF, he received an undergraduate training in neuroscience from New York University, Center for Neural Science and received Bachelor of Science degree in 1997.
