If you have a finished manuscript, you send it to the publisher and let the editor read it!
To submit a manuscript to Elsevier with editor assistance, you typically need to create an account on the Elsevier Editorial System, select the journal you want to submit to, follow the submission guidelines, upload your manuscript, and then work with the editor through the peer review process.
The key steps in the manuscript peer review process include submission of the manuscript to a journal, selection of peer reviewers by the editor, review of the manuscript by the peers, feedback provided to the author, and a decision made by the editor on whether to accept, reject, or request revisions to the manuscript.
A nature editor considers factors such as the originality and significance of the research, the quality of the methodology and analysis, the clarity and coherence of the writing, and the overall fit with the journal's scope and audience when deciding whether to accept or reject a manuscript.
It depends on how it is used: In "I smacked the editor with my rejected manuscript", "editor" is a direct object. In "I was the editor of my school paper" or "The editor made some excellent suggestions", "editor" is not a direct object.
The outcome of the decision is pending approval from the Editor-in-Chief.
When submitting a manuscript for publication, key elements to include in a cover letter to the editor are a brief introduction of yourself and your work, a clear statement of the manuscript's significance and contribution to the field, a summary of the main findings or arguments, and a polite request for consideration for publication.
