How to avoid having your manuscript rejected: Perspectives from the Editors of Forest Ecology and Management

Abstract

This editorial is adapted from the original version written by Joshua Schimel and Karl Ritz, Editors-in-Chief of Elsevier’s journal Soil Biology and Biochemistry: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2020.107823. Dr. Schimel and Dr. Ritz provided an insightful guide that describes how editors and reviewers assess papers, and how authors may increase the rate of success in getting published. We adapted their editorial and added it to our series of editors’ notes that help authors develop strong science to publish in Forest Ecology and Management.
