  1. What Does it Take to Publish in the AJAE? • Get a good idea. • Turn the idea into a well-posed, answerable question. • Do the research right. • Write Effectively. • Understand the review process.

  2. Some Do’s • Make sure the paper matches the focus of the journal. • Follow journal submission guidelines. • Communicate your contribution effectively. • Be positive in your evaluation of existing literature. • Explain details carefully. • Make notation understandable, concise, and consistent.

  3. More Do’s • Pay attention to detail. • Keep equations to a minimum. • Focus on one idea per manuscript. • Keep manuscripts as short and focused as possible. • Remember that reading the manuscript has to be a “pleasurable” experience for a reviewer. • Respond constructively to criticism. • Learn to become a good reviewer.

  4. Some Don’ts • Spend any time on a cover letter. • Spend any time trying to influence who your reviewers will be. • Fight with reviewers. • Submit too many papers to the same journal. • Write nasty emails to the editor asking why they are so incompetent. • Get discouraged by rejection. • Send in submissions without page numbers, with pages missing, no author contact information, etc.

  5. More Don’ts • Decline reasonable review requests from journals you are interested in publishing in. • Get defensive. • Write a paper on a topic and not place it within the context of the existing literature.
