Do you have guidelines for ethical research? How do I ensure that my study is compliant?
Research articles are assessed by independent peer reviewers for quality, validity, and relevance. Editorial teams work very hard to progress papers through peer review as quickly as possible. However, it’s important to be aware that this part of the process can take some time.
Video abstracts are an increasingly popular way of getting others to engage with published research, increasing the visibility of your work. Each short video (three minutes or less) is published alongside its corresponding text abstract on Taylor & Francis Online, so you can introduce readers to your article in your own words.
If you’re interested in submitting a video abstract, get in touch with your journal’s editorial contact to find out more.
Can I submit a Plain Language Summary for my article?
Yes! Please submit your Plain Language Summary (PLS), clearly labeled, with your other manuscript files, so that it can be peer-reviewed alongside the main manuscript.
Like video abstracts, Plain Language Summaries are a great way to increase engagement with your research. Each PLS is published alongside its corresponding text abstract on Taylor & Francis Online. Find out more about how to write a Plain Language Summary.
