Manuscriptedit Newsletter - Friday, August 14, 2009

Edit your research papers, documents, newsletters, thesis for correct English before submitting for publication

Publishing a research paper in a reputed international journal usually takes 6 to 12 months if not more. After submission to the journals, it is peer-reviewed before its acceptance for publication. But very often, even excellent research findings don’t get published in reputed international journals because the reviewers do not give due attention to such manuscripts written with improper English. Similarly publishing document or newsletter written in improper English will generate less interest in your readers. Therefore, it is a good idea to get your research paper edited for English before submitting it to journals to increase its chances of publication. A thoroughly edited newsletter with professional appeal will attract more readers. But the question is where can you get your research paper edited? There are many online companies claiming to offer editing services but it is often difficult to decide which is the one that will give you the best quality editing service in the desired time. Hence it is better to look for some aspects before you jump in to submit your paper for editing.

Here are some tips:

1. Check the website of the editor and see that it contains all the information regarding services, payment methods etc in very clear terms.
2. You should be able to navigate through the website easily.

SWINE FLU PRECAUTIONS

1. Wash your hands frequently ?
Use the antibacterial soaps to cleanse your hands. Wash them often, at least15 seconds and rinse with running water.

2. Get enough sleep ?
Try to get 8 hours of good sleep every night to keep your immune system in top flu-fighting shape.

3. Keep hydrated ?
Drink 8 to10 glasses of water each day to flush toxins from your system and maintain good moisture and mucous production in your sinuses.

4. Boost your immune system ?
Keeping your body strong, nourished, and ready to fight infection is important in flu prevention. So stick with whole grains, colorful vegetables, and vitamin-rich fruits.

5. Keep informed ?
The government is taking necessary steps to prevent the pandemic and periodically release guidelines to keep the pandemic away. Please make sure to keep up to date on the information and act in a calm manner.

6. Avoid alcohol ?
Apart from being a mood depressant, alcohol is an immune suppressant that can actually decrease your resistance to viral infections like swine flu. So stay away from alcoholic drinks so that your immune system may be strong.

7. Be physically active ?
Moderate exercise can support the immune system by increasing circulation and oxygenating the body. For example brisk walking for 30-40 minutes 3-4times a week will significantly perk up your immunity.

8. Keep away from sick people ?
Flu virus spreads when particles dispersed into the air through a cough or sneeze reaches someone’s nose. So if you have to be around someone who is sick, try to stay a few feet away from them and especially, avoid physical contact.

REMEMBER, A VIRUS SPREAD THROUGH A SNEEZE, COUGHING OR SPITTING IS ALIVE,STRONG AND ACTIVE ENOUGH TO AFFECT A HEALTHY PERSON UP TO 6-8 HOURS IN AIR. BE CAUTIOUS

9. Know when to get help ?
Consult your doctor if you have a cough and fever and follow their instructions, including taking medicine as prescribed.

10. Avoid crowded areas ?
Try to avoid crowded areas. Moreover, avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
