The Innovation | After pre-accept……文章预接收后(v2)

Brief | 导读

Pre-accept means the phase before acceptance. In this phase, some revisions are made to improve the quality of the manuscript by editors, authors, and artist through a series of panel discussion. Generally, there are seven sections: ①figure polishing, ②language polishing, ③ transferring for production, ④promotion via WeChat & beyond, ⑤author proof. ⑥email campaign, ⑦ResearchGate promotion. A WeChat Group (Figure 1) was built to facilitate the process, which is hosted by an editor who’s in charge of this Group. To keep in mind that if anything relating to academic flaws happened, this pre-accepted decision may be cancelled immediately.

Section 2

Language Polishing | 语言润色

There are 3 subsections. First, you are welcome to submit your pre-accepted manuscript to specialized language polishing agency. Yet, to be advised that the authors are those who understand the paper best than anyone else. Secondly, the host who usually shares the similar academic background will provide his/her suggestions. Thirdly, the production team of Cell Press will correct typos and beyond. Obviously, the first polishing is more important than the later two. After the host’s checking, the editorial staff will check the layout and format to make sure the final manuscript meet the requirement of The Innovation.

Section 3

After figure & language polishing, you are expected to re-submit your final manuscript online. And the Editorial Team will transfer your item for production (Figure 8).

To be reminded, you are supposed to explain your findings to the public clearly. It’s a little bit challenge and you deserve it to make it popular. Trust me, YOU CAN.

In addition, the other social media, such as Facebook (Figure 11), Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, will be employed to promote your article in English. Sometimes, it attracted more reading than that in Chinese. It’s the high time to highlight your findings popular.
