WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Open access unsolicited emails for scholarly work – Young and senior researchers perspectives

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378378221000268 Upon publication concerns were raised regarding the appropriateness for inclusion of several of the WASP BPGs in a peer-reviewed academic journal. It is the Editor’s judgement that some of the papers in this series fall outside the journal’s scope and should not have been accepted for publication. The idea was to provide an educational series of articles aimed at junior medical and nursing staff on the basic principles of writing a scientific paper. The journal has re-designed its editorial and review workflow to ensure that this will not happen again in future.
