THE ADVICE THAT CAN SAVE YOU TIME & FRUSTRATION

• Before submitting a manuscript, get familiar with the journal. Does your manuscript fit into it? See our overview of major ESL journals.
  
• Read carefully a journal’s submission guide and follow its specific requirements. The more your manuscript conforms to the guidelines, the more chances you have to get it published.
  
• Ask your colleagues to review the manuscripts.
  
• Do not panic if your manuscript is sent for further review or even rejected: send it to another journal.
