Our easy-to-follow 3-step program gives you the tools needed to create manuscripts that will get accepted by journal editors.

Publish swiftly

Get your manuscript accepted for publication!

The Road to Acceptance is a three-step program designed by Bas Straub. The program maximizes the chances of your manuscript being accepted in the journal of your choice. Publication success is not only dependent on the quality of your research; please consider the following three steps:

Language

Get the language right, to effectively communicate your findings.

It is estimated that between 20–25% of all manuscripts are rejected before peer-review because the quality of English is deemed ‘poor’.

Manuscript

Structure your manuscript correctly, to aid your readers in navigating the content easily.

A well-written manuscript is structured so that the reader can easily understand your message and its importance.

Submission

Learn about the submission process to avoid unneeded rejections.

Avoid plagiarism, select the right journal, understand Open Access, bibliometrics, and copyright. Avoid predatory publishers.

Curriculum

Bas Straub

I am Bas Straub, and it is my personal desire to help you to get accepted for publication. Having worked all my life in academic publishing, I know how hard and frustrating the road to publishing can be. Especially if you are not from England or another country with English as the main language. This is exactly why I have created Authoring Academy; to help you to get accepted for publication.

In order to get ahead as a researcher, you need to get your research published. Using Authoring Academy, you will learn how to improve your chances to get accepted for publication. You will know that to get published, you’ll need more than excellent research.

To get published;
you must get your language right,
you must get your manuscript right,
and you must get your submission right.

I can teach you how to get accepted for publication.

Manuscript editing

Should you require additional help we can arrange for your manuscript to be edited prior to submission. We have a group of editors that are all native English speakers at PhD level. We will match the scientific expertise of the editor to your manuscript. Contact us for more information.

Publishers

Staff within STM publishers often have a background in academia and switch to a career in publishing at a later stage. Thus there is a need for training. Our trainers are experienced publishers who can help you get your personnel up to a higher level. Contact us for a bespoke offer.

Live workshops

We can conduct training courses at your institute or company. We will specifically tailor them to your needs and desires. Our workshops can be 1 full day for a larger group, or dedicated training over a number of days for smaller teams. Reach out to info@authoringacademy.com for more information.

Recources

Included in the Road to Acceptance package is an extensive offering of materials that will help get your manuscript accepted. We have:

Posters to print and use as reminders of the most important concepts taught
Checklists and cheat sheets to aid you when writing

Matt McKay

An ongoing commitment to training and talent development ensures both the development of essential workplace skills as well as the potential for sustainable growth and success. Investing in training produces positive change within organisations, improving productivity and boosting performance. Bas’s extensive experience in the marketing and management of scientific training, coupled with his honed knowledge of training techniques have seen him assist STM through training and inspiring a host of budding publishers, authors and editors.

Vicky Lam

In the highly competitive world of academic publishing, it is important that researchers know how to maximize the chances of getting their research accepted and published. Bas has extensive experience in academic publishing and a history of a tireless commitment to researcher training on behalf of STM (International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers). I believe that Bas and the invaluable training that is available at his Authoring Academy will not only arm researchers with the vital publishing knowledge required but also help them translate that knowledge into practical application.

Abdel Meguid Kassem

Communicating research results efficiently to the scientific community is an essential skill for any researcher. Given the available opportunities and the emerging complexities of the STM publishing scene it is necessary to get training and advise from experts with varying expertise. I have known Mr. Bas Straub since more than 10 years. He worked with world renowned publishers and therefore is able to give insights and provide advise for researchers and editors in the field of STM publishing. The sessions I have attended with him were very informative and inspiring. Mr. Straub is talented in addressing different aspects of the publishing cycle in simple clear messages also to non-native English speakers.

Jason Hu

Well begun is half done! A well written and structured manuscript will definitely increase its chance to be accepted by a peer reviewed journal, however it is also easier said than done. I am glad to see Bas is determined to support authors with his years of extensive experiences in Academy Publishing. The trainings and courses offered by Authoring Academy are valuable resources with many applicable insights and tactics. I would love to strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to publish a great paper!

I’ve known and worked with Bas since our time together at Elsevier and through the work he’s done on the training side of the international STM association and community--- probably more than 15 years. Bas brings a wealth of experience and a professional approach to all the work he does, and is highly committed to achieving the best result in orienting and training publishing staff and researchers and authors about scholarly publishing. He works hard at engagement and communication, and putting things into an appropriate context. I highly recommend Bas and the team he pulls together, including in this venture for authors!

He has a vast wealth of experience from his over 30 years of working in this field. He will guide you, step by step, towards the objective that you want to achieve and also make sure that your article has the maximum possible impact. With Bas, you're in good hands.
