Introduction > Going Professional > Submitting Your Paper

Submitting Your Paper Once you've decided with your supervisor that you should produce a publication, it's sensible to agree who'll be responsible for writing and editing the paper. You should also discuss both the number and order of authors. It's important to take criticism about your paper in the spirit it was intended. Although some comments may seem harsh and unjustified, your supervisor and other colleagues will have lots of experience writing papers and their comments are valuable. You may be expected to show your head of department/school a copy of your paper before you submit it, therefore you should bear in mind that they will be extremely busy. It's unlikely that they'll read and comment on it in a couple of hours, so don't leave their approval to the last minute! When the editor of the journal receives your submission, usually email or hard copy is required, your paper will be passed to independent referees who will decide whether your paper should be accepted or rejected.
