There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

Topic: "How to Write a Paper for IEEE MTT-S Journals and Navigate the Review Process"
Abstract:
The career of many people depends on their success in writing and
getting their papers published. More important, the scientific process
requires that scientific findings be published so that other researchers
may build on your ideas or refute your findings. If authors are not
able to publish their papers, then their careers are hurt and scientific
progress slows and stops. Therefore, it is critical that researchers and
engineers understand the process of writing and getting published their
papers in reputable and cited journals and scientific conferences.
However, often, authors' papers are rejected because they did not
understand what reviewers, associate editors, and editors are looking
for in a paper, even if the technical results are good.
This presentation will cover the steps that an author should take to
increase the acceptance rate of their papers in journals and conference.
It will cover the reasons most papers are rejected and how an author
should organize their paper to avoid those reasons. Lastly, it will
present what steps you should take if your paper is rejected to get it
published in the same journal or in a different journal.
