Many thanks Lars. I'm just finishing the writing of my first work as first author, and it's hard to find useful videos explaining this kind of topics. Keep sharing your experience. Surely there's more pepole over here that will find it valuable.
Rather enjoyable video. My question is. Is this the venue to go for science that crosses too many, normally unrelated fields? That there might not be a journal that would publish. Let's say hypothetically, a regular guy off the street finds ancient images, figures and text, millenia older then anything to date. All in our anatomy. Who would ever hypothetically publish something like that? I never hear of pictures. diagrams, charts or links to essential footage being included in peer review articles. Without such. How could the fictional senerio above get anywhere?
Not sure I fully understand your question. If it is about how one would refer to such data in an article, the solution would be to digitize it, upload the data to an open repository like like figshare or Zenodo. Once the data is in such a repository, it will get a DOI, which you would then use to refer/link to it in an article.
@@larsjuhljensen Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Thank you. I am a jack of all trades but master of a few. Finding or discovering is one. Communicating, Relating it and getting it out is not. I have had no professional want to work on this with me. I have looked into paid peer review article services. Your answer makes that look viable now. I wouldn't be trying so hard, if the discovery wasn't important. When someone looks into anatomy and sees over a dozen images of 3 main well known figures, with text in an ancient script. Much older then any to date. That our DNA is being read. You can understand how I can't let my own vast short cummings, make me sit on this. Especially when you understand what it's saying.
Thanks Lars. Good insights. What's your opinion on cover letters and pre-submission enquires? Is it ok, simultaneously, to send a series of pre-submission enquires to multiple editors before choosing journal?
Sending multiple presubmission inquiries is in my opinion fine; you are just asking a journal if they are interested, not committing to submitting to them. However, except for "top journals" with strong editorial selection, I find presubmission inquiries fairly useless. If your manuscript falls within the journal's scope - which you can easily judge yourself - they will typically just give you a useless answer saying "sure, send us the full manuscript and we will look at it".

Thanks, I definitely plan to continue sharing my experience!
Great video, thanks a lot for sharing your advice!
My pleasure - I hope you get your paper published :-)

I also have many stills to go along with the rough draft 3D.
