title: Writing for publication in this refereed journal.
abstract: Acceptance of a paper for publication sometimes appears to be a mountain that has to be climbed. For some it has the height of Everest but for others it is a stroll up a hill. In writing this paper I hope that readers will be able to have an easier job in writing a paper that will be accepted in this journal and that in return the editor's task will be a little easier.
