Agencies and publications planners who adopt a constructive approach to presubmission enquiries can enlist valuable help from journal editors in overcoming the challenges to publication. From a journal editor’s point of view, good manuscripts will fit the scope of the journal, not replicate recently published content in the journal or the wider field, be of interest to the readership, e.g. describing research that may affect future research or treatment; have novel findings – or be reviews of an area that has not been covered recently, have robust methodology, be fair and balanced, and use clear, concise language. Papers can be rejected outright for a variety of reasons related to the above, which will not be explained in a standard rejection letter. Common reasons for rejection after peer review include methodological flaws (in the case of original research), significant data omissions (in the case of reviews), overstating the conclusions, and plagiarism. Some of these issues can be successfully addressed by means of a thoughtful presubmission enquiry and maybe a conversation with the editor. Provide as much information as possible in the presubmission enquiry; be transparent about the history of the article; and address the previous journal’s comments (the pool of peer reviewers is very small!) or provide detail in the covering letter as to why this has not been done. Nowadays, many journals have cascading titles and may be able to find a good home for the work, even if this is not your first-choice journal.
