Other journals do the formatting and page layout. Some journals also have their own editors, who rewrite the articles for a certain tone and style. Those journals may want you to submit your text in double spacing for that purpose and may ask for copies of your illustrations, which they will redraw to fit their style. Most journals specify a certain length, a certain format, and a certain style of writing. Format guidelines give specific instructions on how to produce your article for submission.
Some journals have guidelines on word usage.
Reprints A few journals require that a manuscript-handling fee accompany the article when it is first submitted. The check will be prepared and sent to you to include in the package you submit to the journal. It takes several days to obtain the check, so start the process before the manuscript is final. Follow the same process if the journal charges a fee for exceeding its page limitation or if you want reprints from the journal. Receiving Compensation from a Journal Gratuities from publications are payable to Battelle, not to the author.
