Editor Insights from Leading Journals

During last year's eSymposia series, editors from leading journals including Cell Press, Science, Nature Portfolio, EMBO, Frontiers Journals, Rockefeller Press, PLOS and more, shared their insights with attendees in our "Meet-the-Editors" Roundtable Series.  They shared advice on how to improve your chances of publishing your work in these top tier journals, as well as techniques for reaching out to editors with presubmission inquiries, how to respond to harsh reviewers and more essential tips! 

Meet-the-Editor panels are important aspects of both in-person and virtual Keystone Symposia meetings, designed to foster connections between editors and scientists. These mutually beneficial relationships help to facilitate the publication process for researchers, while providing editors insight into exciting new discoveries and research directions to showcase in upcoming journal issues.

Now we are releasing these invaluable discussion and tips for open access, to benefit broader audiences around the world.  See below for general advice in publishing, and field-specific insights!
