11. The Common Mistakes Title – not catchy and capturing essence
Abstract – not persuasive and concise
Paper body – size, structure, and flow
Copycat or problem is too trivial
Citations look like a laundry list, e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
No theoretical or conceptual foundation/contribution
Analysis – no data validation, wrong methods
Managerial implications – practitioner sense, not academics
Grammatical and spelling errors – use a technical editor to edit your paper
Procrastinate revisions – lost the timeliness
Small sample size – impossible to revise
Responses to reviewers’ comments – respect the reviewers
