Abstract This editorial aims to guide prospective authors in effectively preparing and structuring a manuscript for submission to JOOT . Despite the increasing scientific quality of many submissions, the Editorial Board frequently receives manuscripts that fail to meet fundamental standards in structure, style or adherence to journal requirements, which may compromise their chances of acceptance. Scientific writing is a crucial skill, and tailoring a manuscript to the expectations and guidelines of the target journal is vital for successful publication. This article offers practical recommendations to enhance manuscript preparation, improve clarity and align submissions with the editorial standards of JOOT .
