Getting your scientific paper published can be a difficult process. The quality of the paper relates to the quality of the design of the study, the questions asked, and defining an excellent primary endpoint that is easy to understand, and data obtained from a sufficiently large population. Before submitting your paper, go over all requirements like ethical approval, registration in public databases, and conflict of interest declarations. Manuscripts are structured in several sections. The introduction section should mainly focus on why the study was done. The materials and methods section should describe what was used and the results section provides a good representation of all data. Specifically, attention needs to be paid to high quality tables and figures. The discussion section should focus on putting the results in perspective. The abstract should cover all aspects in a condensed and focused manner. The publication process is handled by editors, reviewers, and the publisher. The first impression is the most important factor that decides whether the paper is sent out for review. If revisions are requested, a thoughtful response to the reviewers is needed. Hopefully, it all will lead to acceptance of the paper and publication.

Journal editors depend on peer reviewers to make decisions about submitted manuscripts. These reviewers help evaluate the methods, the results, the discussion of the results, and the overall organization and presentation of the manuscript. In addition, reviewers can help identify important mistakes and possible misconduct. Editors frequently have difficulty obtaining enough peer reviews which are submitted in a timely manner. This increases the workload of editors and journal managers and potentially delays the publication of clinical and research studies. This commentary discusses of the importance of peer reviews and make suggestions which potentially can increase the participation of academic faculty and researchers in this important activity.

Review
Plagiarism is among the prevalent misconducts reported in scientific writing and common causes of article retraction in scholarly journals. Plagiarism of idea is not acceptable by any means. However, plagiarism of text is a matter of debate from culture to culture. Herein, I wish to reflect on a bird's eye view of plagiarism, particularly plagiarism of text, in scientific writing. Text similarity score as a signal of text plagiarism is not an appropriate index and an expert should examine the similarity with enough scrutiny. Text recycling in certain instances might be acceptable in scientific writing provided that the authors could correctly construe the text piece they borrowed. With introduction of artificial intelligence-based units, which help authors to write their manuscripts, the incidence of text plagiarism might increase. However, after a while, when a universal artificial unit takes over, no one will need to worry about text plagiarism as the incentive to commit plagiarism will be abolished, I believe.
