In this episode of the JACCP Podcast, host Rob DiDomenico is joined by JACCP Editor in Chief Stuart Haines and Senior Associate Editor Beth Phillips to offer practical guidance for authors seeking to publish in the Journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy. With nearly 500 annual submissions and a rejection rate approaching 90% for unsolicited manuscripts, it’s important to put together a strong submission. The conversation covers the journal's scope and mission and addresses the most common reasons manuscripts are rejected, from methodological weaknesses to unsupported conclusions. Stuart and Beth also share actionable tips on following reporting guidelines, strengthening review articles, and exploring the journal's full range of manuscript types. A recurring theme: don't hesitate to pitch your idea before investing weeks in writing.
