Your submission checklist:

  1. Review your chosen journal’s submission requirements
  2. Author guidelines are located on the relevant journal homepage, under ‘Contribute’ (in the top menu). Your journal of choice may offer free format submission which means you can submit your manuscript in the format of your choice.

  3. Register for an ORCID iD and associate it to your manuscript when you submit
  4. ORCID iD is a unique and persistent identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers and links you to your work, ensuring you get proper credit. The data in your ORCID record is machine-readable and can be used in various workflows, like manuscript submission and grant application systems, reducing your administrative workload. As a member of ORICID, Wiley has integrated this functionality into our online publication and submissions systems, allowing you to log in with your existing ORCID iD or create one when submitting to most of our journals.

  5. Learn about CRediT (Contribution Roles Taxonomy)
  6. CRediT is a community-owned 14 role taxonomy that can be used to describe the key types of contributions typically made to the production and publication of research output, such as research articles. Journals requiring CRediT allow authors to detail contributions during submission, with updates possible at revision stages through the Editorial Office. The submitting author inputs role assignments, and all authors must review and agree on their contributions. The final contribution statement will be published with the article.

  7. Prepare for the peer review process
  8. Read about what to expect from peer review and the possible outcomes for your manuscript, including how to respond to peer reviewers and what to do if your manuscript isn’t accepted.

  9. Consider preprinting your article with Under Review
  10. Showcase your work to the global research community as a preprint while it is under review at a number of Wiley journals.

  11. Understand more about how Registered Reports can help you publish your work
  12. Learn about how to pre-register your research, what the benefits are, and our policy.

  13. Run your manuscript through our Manuscript Language Checker
  14. Using advanced algorithms, the Manuscript Language Checker will provide you with a FREE language quality score and recommend the best service to get your manuscript ready for submission to your chosen journal.
