Summary
The final stages of getting a paper into shape for submission relies on checking its English presentation (or getting help in doing this). The main author revises the paper to reach a final draft. The role of the co-authors is discussed, including the sequence of their names. Conflicts of interest must be considered here. Setting out the paper in clear sections and subsections is stressed as it makes the paper easier for editor and reviewers to follow. The need for a letter of submission is considered.
