question 15

Multiple Choice

There are several steps in the process of converting a master's thesis into a publishable article: selecting a journal, writing a query letter, preparing an original manuscript, submitting the manuscript for review, and performing the revisions the editor indicates. Why should preparation of the manuscript not occur first?

• A)It would be foolish to write a manuscript without knowing the maximum length of manuscript that a journal accepts.
• B)If the response to several query letters is negative, it is best to abandon attempts to get the information into print.
• C)Various journals use different formatting. Waiting until editor interest is expressed saves unneeded re-formatting.
• D)Some journals limit the number of items in the reference list. Best know this before editing the thesis down to the length of an article.
• E)Every contact with an editor results in at least a request for revisions. An initial manuscript cannot be prepared without editor input.
