Publishing in Scopus-indexed journals MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES

A manuscript is a written document that contains original research, scholarly articles, or creative works that are submitted to a publisher for consideration of publication. The manuscript typically includes an abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and references.

The manuscript plays a crucial role in the publication process as it is the primary document that the publisher evaluates to determine whether it meets the journal's standards for quality, originality, and relevance. The manuscript undergoes a rigorous peer review process, where other experts in the field evaluate the research and provide feedback to the author. Based on the reviewers' comments and recommendations, the editor makes a decision to accept, reject, or request revisions to the manuscript.

If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the publisher will edit and format it according to the journal's style guidelines and prepare it for publication in an issue or online. The author will receive proofs of the manuscript for review and approval before it is published.

In summary, the manuscript is the foundation of the publication process as it represents the author's original research or creative work and undergoes a critical evaluation by peer reviewers and editors before being published in a reputable journal or book.
