3. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:  Discuss methods to streamline the submission-to-publication process.  Compare and contrast benefits, barriers, and objections to making subsequent submissions easier for authors.  Analyze the concept of a uniform style for nursing journals.

4. The business of publishing is:  to get new information, new data, and new ideas out to readers  as quickly as possible  in order to support the development of even more new information, new data, and new ideas

6. Do You... 6.Have a negative reaction when you get a paper that has obviously been submitted to another journal? 7.Have an automated referral system? 8.Spend a lot of time on style issues? 9.Sometimes reject papers because the work to get them formatted would be too great? 10.Know what Your Paper Your Way is?

9. Backlog  What is the best thing you have done so far to get papers from submission to publication more quickly?  What would help you get rid of your backlog? Share!

10. Your Paper Your Way (YPYW)  Disclosure – we edit JANAC  Which is published by Elsevier  YPYW is the name of a process available to all Elsevier journals  JANAC initiated this process in 2014

11. Your Paper Your Way  Simplified submission process – easier for authors to submit & resubmit papers  Focus is on content (for authors, reviewers, &editors) rather than style  Style is dealt with when a paper nears acceptance

12. Style  Does style matter? Why or why not?  Should all nursing journals use the same style to make make subsequent submission to other journals easier?  Are you ready for a paradigm shift?
