Journal fit & selection
Assess the subject area, manuscript scope, article type and author guidelines before selecting a target journal.
Publication can be the final stage of months of research. Vidya Tilak provides academic publication support covering manuscript refinement, journal-fit review, formatting, submission readiness and post-submission response support.
