خلاصه	An abstract is a self-contained, concise summary of a research article that enables readers to quickly understand the study's purpose, methods, results, and conclusions without reading the full paper. Abstracts are the primary gateway to published literature: they appear in journal issues, bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus), and search engine results. Well-written abstracts increase citation rates and visibility; poorly written ones obscure important research. The ICMJE and major journals mandate abstracts for original research, with structured formats (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions) becoming increasingly standard.	Submitting a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal is a multi-stage process: preparation, submission, editorial triage, peer review, revision, and publication. Understanding each stage helps authors avoid common pitfalls and set realistic expectations. Most journals use online submission systems (ScholarOne, Editorial Manager, OJS) that guide authors through the process. From submission to first editorial decision typically takes 30–90 days; acceptance to publication can take another 30–180 days depending on the journal's backlog and production timeline. Journals vary in acceptance rates (Nature ~5%, specialized journals 30–50%) and review times. Knowing the journal's policies and timelines before submitting prevents frustration.
