PhD scholars across India rely on ANUSHRAM for comprehensive publication support including submission handling, cover letter drafting and strategic resubmission guidance.
In the case of doctoral researchers, publication of the research article transcends the procedural requirement and assumes the stature of providing validation that the work has gone through the validation process in the academic community. In India, universities are increasingly insisting that publication in indexed journals needs to be completed before submitting the thesis for viva voce.
Many researchers are discovering that completion of the thesis and publication of an article are different challenges that need to be overcome. While the thesis requires an exposition of methodological steps, publication requires presentation in terms of the scientific communication model. The paper needs to demonstrate novelty, justify methodology, contextualize the work in terms of existing literature, and justify results using logical argumentation. Without these elements, even high-quality work is rejected in journals.
Many PhD researchers experience repeated failures in submitting their manuscripts to scientific journals. The reason is not in the quality of the work but in factors such as selection of target journals, clarity of contribution, conformity to formatting requirements, similarity issues, and effective communication with reviewers. Publishing in academic journals is a scientific process that follows a set of steps that affect the outcome
ANUSHRAM offers high-quality research publication support specifically designed for PhD researchers who wish to get published in Scopus, SCI, and Q1-Q2 index journals.Why PhD Scholars Struggle With Publication
Most universities teach research methodology but not publication methodology. As a result, scholars face repeated rejection cycles.
A thesis answers:
A journal article answers:
Because scholars submit thesis-style manuscripts, editors desk reject them before peer review.
These journals are widely accepted for doctoral requirements and institutional evaluation. They focus on originality and structured presentation.
These have stricter standards and stronger citation credibility. Methodology and validation must be highly convincing.
Quartile ranking represents journal impact in a specific subject category. Q1 journals are top ranked, Q2 journals are high quality but slightly broader in acceptance scope.
Publishing in these journals requires preparation beyond basic manuscript writing.
Before submission, the manuscript must be assessed to determine readiness.
Evaluation includes:
This prevents immediate rejection and saves months of waiting time.
Choosing the correct journal is the most decisive factor in publication success.
Selection depends on:
Submitting to an unsuitable journal leads to repeated rejection regardless of research quality.
A thesis chapter cannot be submitted directly as a research paper. It must be converted into article format.
The restructuring process includes:
The title must show contribution rather than topic description.
An effective abstract explains problem, gap, method, results, and contribution concisely.
Instead of listing studies, the manuscript must logically show how research evolved and where the gap exists.
Reviewers must understand why the method was chosen and how it validates the research question.
Numbers alone are insufficient; they must answer the research objective.
Technical editing focuses on academic clarity rather than language correction.
It ensures:
Many papers fail because they read like reports instead of research articles.
Every journal provides author guidelines. Failure to follow them leads to desk rejection.
Formatting includes:
Even good research is rejected if formatting rules are ignored.
Similarity reports measure overlap with existing literature. High similarity does not always indicate plagiarism, but it signals improper academic writing structure.
Correction involves:
The goal is ethical compliance with publication standards.
Professional submission requires more than uploading a manuscript.
Documents prepared include:
Editors evaluate seriousness through submission quality.
Most papers are rejected during revision rather than initial review.
Typical reviewer expectations:
Proper response format:
Unstructured responses lead to rejection even after minor revision.
Rejection is normal in research publishing. What matters is strategic resubmission.
Resubmission analysis includes:
Instead of repeating mistakes, the manuscript evolves with each attempt.
| Stage | Duration |
|---|---|
| Evaluation | 2–3 days |
| Editing & Structuring | 7–10 days |
| Submission | Same day |
| Peer Review | 4–12 weeks |
| Revision | 1–3 weeks |
| Acceptance | Depends on journal |
Most universities require at least one indexed publication.
Editor rejects paper before peer review due to mismatch or formatting errors.
They test reliability and clarity of research.
No, it must be converted into article format.
Usually one to three rounds.
Journal performance rank within subject category.
Typically two to four months.
Yes with restructuring and better targeting.
Yes for promotion and academic recognition.
Publication, because communication determines acceptance.
Research publication is not only about conducting a study but presenting it in a scientifically acceptable format. Many doctoral scholars face delays because they approach publication as a submission task instead of a structured communication process. Proper journal selection, manuscript restructuring, ethical compliance, and reviewer response strategy significantly improve acceptance outcomes.
ANUSHRAM supports scholars throughout this journey, helping transform completed research into recognized academic publication. With systematic preparation and guided revision handling, PhD candidates can avoid repeated rejection cycles and achieve indexed publication within a realistic timeframe.
