What to Check in a Research Paper Before Submission | A Final Overview

Описание: During the “final polish,” how to make your academic writing feel complete and professional? Before you hit submit, it’s important to step back and look at your manuscript as a whole. In this video, we walk through the overall review that focuses on how your paper looks, reads, and flows.

Use built-in tools in Word and other automated systems, including basic AI support, to speed things up without sacrificing quality. The video explains why running a proper spell check matters and how to stay consistent with American English or British English, depending on what the journal prefers.

We also cover grammar checks and how automated tools can help catch small but important mistakes. Consistency is a big focus here—from spelling and terminology to acronyms and abbreviations. Using the same terms and capitalization throughout your manuscript helps editors and reviewers follow your work easily.

Another key point is tense usage. Since your study has already been completed, the part of your academic writing that talks about the experiments that are already completed should be in the past tense. Finally, we look at logical flow. Make sure your paper tells a clear story from start to finish, whether it’s a case report, study, or review.

This checklist is essential if you want your manuscript to read smoothly and look submission-ready, so keep it handy!
