Title: How to publish in good research journals

Abstract: 

I will open up the black box of the academic publishing world. I will explain what editors are looking for and therefore seek to help authors to ensure that their research articles are prepared in such a way as to maximise their chances of acceptance. I will use the Information Systems Journal as an example, but the same principles apply to all other good journals.
