Complaint from an editor:
“[This] paper fell well below my threshold. I refuse to spend time trying
to understand what the author is trying to say. Besides, I really want to
send a message that they can't submit garbage to us and expect us to fix
it. My rule of thumb is that if there are more than 6 grammatical errors
in the abstract, then I don't waste my time carefully reading the rest.”

An example of what NOT to do:
“If it is the case, intravenous administration should result in that emulsion has
higher intravenous administration retention concentration, but which is not in
accordance with the result, and therefore the more rational interpretation
should be that SLN with mean diameter of 46nm is greatly different from
emulsion with mean diameter of 65 nm in entering tumor, namely, it isprobably difficult for emulsion to enter and exit from tumor blood vessel as
freely as SLN, which may be caused by the fact that the tumor blood vessel
aperture is smaller.”

Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of composition C x N(SO2CF3)2 ! !F
are prepared under ambient conditions in 48% hydrofluoric acid, using
K2MnF6 as an oxidizing reagent. The stage 2 GIC product structures are
determined using powder XRD and modeled by fitting one dimensional electron
density profiles.
A new digestion method followed by selective fluoride electrode elemental
analyses allows the determination of free fluoride within products, and the
compositional x and ! parameters are determined for reaction times from 0.25 to
500 h.

! Prepare a detailed Response Letter! Copy-paste each reviewer comment, and type your response below it! State specifically which changes you have made to the manuscript
! Include page/line numbers
! No general statements like “Comment accepted, and Discussion changed
accordingly.”
! Provide a scientific response to comments to accept, .....
! ..... or a convincing, solid and polite rebuttal when you feel the reviewer was
wrong.
! Write in such a manner, that your response can be forwarded to the reviewerwithout prior editing
! Do not do yourself a disfavour, but cherish your work! You spent weeks and months in the lab or the library to do the research
! It took you weeks to write the manuscript.........
.....Why then run the risk of avoidable rejection

You have to be consistent.
You have to check and recheck before submitting.
Make sure you tell a logical, clear, story about your findings.
Especially, take note of referees’ comments. They improve your

Fabrication: Making up data or results, and
recording or reporting them
“! the fabrication of research data! hits at the heart of our
responsibility to society , the reputation of our institution, the trustbetween the public and the biomedical research community, and
our personal credibility and that of our mentors, colleagues!”
“It can waste the time of others, trying to replicate false data ordesigning experiments based on false premises, and can lead to
therapeutic errors. It can never be tolerated.”Professor Richard Hawkes
Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy
University of Calgary
“The most dangerous of all falsehoods is aslightly distorted truth.”

Falsification:! Manipulation of research materials, equipment, processes
! Changes in / omission of data or results such that the research is notaccurately represented in the research record
“Select data to fit a preconceived hypothesis:
! We do not include (data from) an experiment because ‘it did not work ’, or
! We show ‘representative’ images that do not reflect the total data set, or
! We simply shelve data that do not fit.”
