Abstract

Research is often presented at scientific conferences in abstract form. Unfortunately, a large percentage of abstracts are never published as a full manuscript, but having a strong department process for research can increase the number of abstracts published as manuscripts. Publishing as a full manuscript is critical to the advancement of science due to the rigor of the peer review process. This manuscript covers common reasons abstracts are not published as manuscripts, tips to overcome mistakes, how to respond to reviewer comments, and specific tips to avoid flaws in each manuscript section.
