  11. Manuscript Submission and Reviewer Management Issues:Response to Reviewers • Frequently the reviewer issues are not addressed • Only partially address the reviewer comments • Contentious • Play one reviewer off on another

  12. Crafting a Manuscript and Frequent Reasons for Rejection • Get the key point of the paper up front • Effectively build the case for the paper’s contribution • Methodology can not displace inadequate theory and overall research justification • Inappropriate sample

  13. Top Ten List of Manuscript Problems • Problem relevance • Clarity of contribution • Relevant theory • Avoid tangential literature • Own your paper (avoid over citing) • Measurement (justification, relevance and testing) • Appropriate sample • Weak discussion and implication sections • Don’t build a Ford and sell a Mercedes • Proof read your work
