Abstract

Writing, reviewing and editing are the essential steps in publishing a scientific paper. The format and most important rules for writing are briefly summarized. The reviewer's role is to assess the scientific essence and relevance of the paper and by his experience and expertise to support the author in the revision of the manuscript. The editor by his decision on the acceptance of a manuscript for publication has to ensure that the paper meets the requirements of the journal, such as the thematic spectrum and the level of excellence to attract the reader. Author, reviewer and editor act according to standards evolutionary developed in the scientific community. Any failures and deficiencies occurring when processing the manuscript bear risks of delay in publication, wasting efforts and time of the involved people and at least of harming the scientific level and the economic basis of the journal. In conclusion, disseminating research results presents challenges to good publishing practice.
