Abstract
While it may feel like the end of a lengthy process, submitting a case report to a journal is usually the beginning of another long journey. Peer review can take months, and responding to peer review can be equally time consuming. Papers often go back and forth between the journal and the authors several times before finally being accepted for publication. The first part of this chapter provides a final checklist to review before proceeding with submission. Following this checklist will add a final polish to maximize the chances of acceptance. The second part of this chapter provides practical guidance to make the review and revision process as smooth as possible.
