As I prepare for my initial consultation, I want to make sure I cover all of the important components of the publication process. I'm particularly interested in negotiating the challenges of submitting to indexed journals. I've heard that using ascopus publication service can help clarify formatting and submission rules, but I'm not sure how involved these services are in molding the actual study content. I'd like to hear from others who have had consultations on this topic what questions should I ask right away to avoid frequent mistakes and keep everything on track with academic integrity?
