INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you go to the beach, you don't need to bring a nice, fancy purse or backpack with you. Bring something lightweight that you don't mind getting a little sandy. Then, use this to house your beachwear, extra clothes, and sunglasses, for instance. For example, use a canvas tote or a waterproof bag. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you get to the beach to ensure you are covered, then reapply the sunscreen every 2-6 hours as needed. If you feel your skin start to heat up, it's a good idea to put more on. This way, you do not get sunburned. Use sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF at the minimum. Lay a beach blanket out across the sand, and stick an umbrella into the ground nearby. Push down on the umbrella with moderate pressure so it stays in place. You can arrange the blanket so it is half in the shade and half in the sun. Lay in the sun to get a tan and then roll under the shade whenever you need a break from the heat.

SUMMARY: Bring a beach bag to store your stuff. Don't forget your sunscreen! Bring a blanket and umbrella so you can sunbathe comfortably.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your target journal is the journal where you would like to have your paper published. Talk to your colleagues and co-authors to see where they recommend. Read the author guidelines for the journal carefully to make sure they do indeed publish case reports. Not all journals do. Other things to consider are: Does the journal index the papers in the PubMed database? Is there a publishing fee? Is the journal well-respected in its field? One way of measuring this is the journal's impact factor. This information should be available on the journal's website. Is the journal peer-reviewed? Peer-review is a process in which manuscripts are given to experts in their field who provide their opinions on the study. This is a way to verify that the study was well conducted and that the conclusions are justified. Having been through peer-review gives your work credibility. Most journals use an online submission process in which you upload your paper online. Once you upload and submit your paper you will receive: An acknowledgement of submission A decision several weeks later. The decision will likely come with anonymous reviews from your reviewers. The journal will likely: accept your paper, accept it with minor revision, accept it with major revisions, reject it with an invitation to revise and resubmit, or reject it without an invitation to resubmit. Receiving requests for revisions is a standard part of scientific publishing and generally improves the quality of the paper. When you revise your paper you should: Provide a letter in which you answer each of the comments provided by each reviewer and provide page numbers showing how you addressed the comments in the manuscript Submit the letter with the revised manuscript If the original journal did not invite you to resubmit, then you can submit the revised version to a different journal and go through a new round of peer review. If you are able to answer all of the reviewers' and editors' comments on the manuscript in a way that is satisfactory, your paper is likely to be accepted after you revise it. You will receive another decision which will indicate that either: The paper is accepted as it is. The paper is accepted after minor changes. You may receive this decision if the editor is largely satisfied, but has small content corrections or formatting changes that need to be made. After your paper is accepted, the journal will send you a draft to look over. These are called the proofs. You should check: That all the tables and figures appear correctly in the right order. That there have been no errors in any mathematical formulas. That the body of the paper is correct and contains no typos or formatting errors. That the names and affiliations of the authors are correct. Read through the contract to make sure you fully understand the copyright implications of the contract. Things to consider are: Do you as the author retain the copyright? Or will it belong to the journal? Are you prohibited from making the article freely available online? Is there an embargo period, meaning that you cannot talk to the press about your results before the journal publishes the paper?

SUMMARY: Pick a target journal. Submit your paper. Revise your paper based on the reviews. Get an acceptance. Check the proofs. Sign any necessary contracts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: High eye pressure (medically known as ocular hypertension) is difficult to diagnose, as it does not show any visible symptoms such as redness or eye pain. A diagnosis cannot be made using visual examination alone, so you will need to have your eyes examined by an eye specialist. He will use a combination of methods to identify ocular hypertension. Tonometry. This procedure is used to measure intraocular pressure in the eyes and gauge whether the level of pressure is still within normal limits. The eye is numbed and then an orange dye is inserted to help the specialist identify the level of pressure. A machine is used to measure the pressure in the eye by applying pressure to the eye. However, it's important to take the corneal thickness into account as people with thicker corneas may show falsely higher measurements. A reading of 21mmHg or higher usually indicates the presence of ocular hypertension. It's rare for someone with a reading of 30 mmHg or less to have glaucoma. However, other conditions can affect this reading, such as head or eye injuries or a buildup of blood behind the cornea. Air puff. With this procedure, the patient is asked to look straight into an apparatus while the specialist shines a light into the eye. The apparatus then sends a quick puff of air directly into the eye. A special machine reads the pressure by assessing the changes in the light reflections upon the strike of air into the eye. Ocular hypertension is associated with increasing age along with other factors. Several factors may contribute to the development of ocular hypertension, including: Excessive aqueous production. Aqueous humor is a transparent liquid manufactured in the eye. It drains from the eye by means of the trabecular meshwork. If excessive aqueous humor is produced, the pressure in the eye increases. Inadequate aqueous drainage. Improper drainage of aqueous humor can lead to increased eye pressure. Certain medications. Certain drugs (such as steroids) can cause ocular hypertension, especially in people with pre-existing risk factors. Eye trauma. Any irritation or injury to the eye can affect the balance of aqueous production and drainage from the eye and may result in increased eye pressure. Other eye conditions. Ocular hypertension is usually linked with other eye ailments such as pseudo exfoliation syndrome, corneal arcus, and dispersion syndrome. Anyone can develop high eye pressure, but studies show that the following groups are at increased risk of developing the condition: African-Americans. Individuals over the age of 40. Persons with a family history of ocular hypertension and glaucoma. People with thinner central corneal thickness measurements.

SUMMARY:
See an eye specialist for a diagnosis. Discuss potential causes of the condition with your doctor. Identify your risk factors for ocular hypertension.
