Pournima Kale: My top 5 picks that transformed my publication journey

Pournima KaleAssistant Professor at

“I rejected 47 oncology papers before getting published.

Here’s what finally worked for me.

Getting published in top oncology journals isn’t just about great research.

You need the right resources to navigate the complex submission process.

Here are my top 5 picks that transformed my publication journey:

1. Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO):

  • Author guidelines that feel like a roadmap.
  • Clear submission criteria.
  • Impact Factor: 44.544.

2. Nature Reviews Cancer:

  • Expert peer review process.
  • Comprehensive formatting guidelines.
  • Templates for manuscript preparation.

3. Cancer Research:

  • Free manuscript preparation tools.
  • Detailed video tutorials.
  • Editorial team support.

4. Publons:

  • Track your peer review history.
  • Build your research profile.
  • Connect with journal editors.

5. Mendeley:

  • Reference management made simple.
  • Collaboration tools.
  • Citation formatting.

These resources helped me go from rejection to publication in 3 months.
