Manuscript Writing for
Pathologists:
TIPS for Maximizing Publication Potential
AMADO O. TANDOC III, MD, FPSP
Research Institute for Tropical Medicine
TIP No. 0: CAVEAT
Scientific manuscript should be:
• Derived from sound research design,
methods, and analysis.
• Ethics-cleared.
Do publish:
• New and original results or methods
• Interesting, rare, educational cases (“Zebras”)
• Reviews or summaries of particular subjects
• Manuscripts that advance knowledge and
understanding of certain scientific field
TIP No. 1: CONTENT
What NOT to Publish?
DO NOT PUBLISH REPORTS OF NO SCIENTIFIC INTEREST, OUT
OF DATE WORK, DUPLICATIONS OF PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED
WORK, WORK WITH INCORRECT/UNACCEPTABLE
CONCLUSIONS!
Not the same as
Research with
Negative Results!
• Determine what type of manuscript to write
• Article type determines the structure and
what needs to be included in the manuscript
– Full article/Original Article
• Observational? Diagnostic evaluation? Qualitative
research? Quality improvement study? Systematic
review?
– Case report
TIP No. 2: FORM
• Determine what type of manuscript to write
• Article type determines the appropriate
reporting guidelines to follow
TIP No. 2: FORM
www.equator-network.org
STRATEGY: ONCE ARTICLE TYPE IS DETERMINED, CONSULT THE
APPROPRIATE CHECKLIST.
MORE AND MORE JOURNALS ARE ADOPTING THE EQUATOR
NETWORK CHEKLISTS AS A “QUALITY CHECK” ON THE
TRANSPARENT REPORTING OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION.
• Select the best/most suitable
journal for submission
• Look at your own references
these are helpful in narrowing
down your choices
TIP No. 3: JOURNAL
SELECTION
DO NOT
SUBMIT YOUR
MANUSCRIPT
TO A JOURNAL
IF IT IS CLEARLY
OUT OF SCOPE.
• Ask the following questions:
– Is the journal peer-reviewed?
– Who is this journal’s audience?
– Is the journal reputable/credible?
– Is it open-access?*
TIP No. 3: JOURNAL
SELECTION DO NOT SUBMIT
YOUR
MANUSCRIPT TO
MORE THAN ONE
JOURNAL AT A
TIME. IT IS
AGAINST
INTERNATIONAL
STANDARDS OF
ETHICAL
PUBLICATION.
Check online for the Listings of
Predatory Journals
• Previously
there was
“Beall’s List”
• Cabell’s list is a
subscription-
based service
listing
predatory
journals
https://predatoryjournals.com/journals/
• Every journal has its own set
of Instructions
TIP No. 4: READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS again
and again
Check the journal’s website
• Save time by writing your first draft in
accordance with the Guide to Authors of the
journal selected
Editors and reviewers hate wasting time on
poorly prepared manuscripts.
• Infuse logic in your writing.
• Logical writing → easy reading
TIP No. 5: LOGIC
• Brush up on the language.
TIP No. 6: CLARITY
• Key to successful scientific writing is to watch
out for common errors:
– Sentence construction
– Incorrect tenses
– Inaccurate grammar
– “Conversational,” “informal,” “colloquial” language
TIP No. 6: CLARITY
• Remember that journals have length specs
• Write direct and short sentences
– 1 idea/1 piece of information only per sentence
– AVOID multiple statements in one sentence
TIP No. 7: BREVITY
TIP No. 8: LEARN
• If you get rejected, do not
despair.
– Everyone—even the most
seasoned ones— has papers
rejected
• Try to understand why
– Editors’ and Reviewers’ advice
are very valuable!
• Should you decide to submit to another
journal
– Take heed of the editors’ and reviewers’ advice
– Select a new journal (not a predatory one!)
– Read the Guide for Authors of the new journal,
again and again
TIP No. 8: LEARN
