The paper presents the steps of the editorial process of manuscripts: assessing the subject of the paper and the overall quality of the manuscript; checking if the formal submission criteria are met; sending the manuscript for peer-review; and proof-reading of the manuscript. Authors commit a range of typical mistakes when writing a manuscript and in many cases, these mistakes determine whether the article will be published or rejected by the publisher. Authors must proceed in compliance with the formal submission requirements of the relevant journal. Special attention needs to be paid to the citations, as well as the list of references, to language and grammar; the appropriate terminology; the structure and layout of the text. Content-related requirements include choosing a novel subject, adopting an evaluative approach towards research results, and presenting a theoretical conclusion of the findings. The paper must formulate a message that will be clear and concise both for publishers and readers.

This paper offers 'tips-and-tricks' for young scientists on writing their first manuscript(s) for publication. The paper is divided into three parts: 'Before Writing'; 'Language and Style'; and 'Structure of the Manuscript'. In the first part, the following topics are discussed: checking if the contribution is new and original; getting an overview of the research area; finding 'Hot Topics', searching for the right journal; using the 'Guide for Authors', finding out about 'editors and reviewers', choosing the appropriate form of publication etc. The second part discusses the appropriate language and style, paying attention to the special features of scientific publications: consistency, logic and grammar, the do's-and-don'ts of scientific writing, illustrations etc. The third part elaborates on the structure of the manuscript (title, abstract, keywords, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references, etc) including differences between reading and writing an article. The paper concludes with a discussion of ethical and copyright issues, e.g. various forms of fraud and what authors are allowed to do with their published manuscripts.

The paper aims at dissipating the false presumptions on the autotelic nature of scientific publications. It argues that the publication of research results is a normal and necessary step in.

The 'Author's Effect of Showcasing' (AES) is the activity of the publishing researchers as authors with which they shape by free will the formal reference stock of their communications cited directly and itemizedly, placing this formal reference stock into the showcase of modern science - consciously or unconsciously. Its fundamental cause is the scientific publication explosion of the past century: the constantly uncitable vast quantity of the relevant and citable literature. This gives rise to the necessity of selection, choice and lifting out in the course of the author's personal referencing practice. This first paper of the study demonstrates the emergence, causes and traces of the AES phenomenon in the journal literature of the natural sciences already in the mature Little Science age, and the continuous existence of the phenomenon ever since. The perception and cognition of the effect is shown on the basis of the relevant findings of the present author's previous, manual fact-finding reference investigations based on autopsy, processing around 27,600 journal communications and reference stocks containing more than 322,000 citations. Finally, a summarizing definition of the effect is given. In the next, second paper, the manifestation of the AES phenomenon will be demonstrated and analyzed in the theoretically most homogeneous domain of the scientific literature.

The 'Author's Effect of Showcasing' (AES) is the activity of publishing authors with which they shape by their own free will the formal reference stock of their communications, placing this stock into the showcase of science. This paper reports the results of a decisive control test of the existence of the AES, processing 1175 historically synchronous physics conference communications. Applying methods of bibliometrics and science philology, the manifestation of the AES phenomenon is demonstrated and analyzed in this theoretically most homogeneous domain of scientific literature. The widely differing documentedness in the communications of conferences held on particular topics of physics, especially the great differences in the size of the formal reference stocks in all extent categories of the communications depends solely on the person of the authors. This generally and extremely heterogeneous documentedness is therefore a valid evidence of the existence of the effect and its effective operation in the scientific literature. The correctness of the AES doctrine, including the correctness of two additional theses, has been demonstrated: the relatively diminishing growth of the formal reference stock and specific documentedness with the growth in the extend of communications, and the existence of weakly, moderately, strongly and very strongly documented communications in all extent categories of the communications.
