2 Advice on Preparing Manuscripts for Publication and Assessing the Quality of Manuscripts and Publications Preparing manuscripts for acceptance in high-quality journals is becoming increasingly challenging and time-consuming for scientists in every research field, career stage, and nationality. Technical writing is certainly an art requiring continual practice and improvement, and adjustment to ever-changing external factors. In this presentation, I aim to provide the underlying reasons for this trend and provide suggestions that will assist in writing of high-quality manuscripts, particularly addressing tips for younger scientists and engineers. The outline of the presentation consists of describing the current status for scientific publishing, the 7 Deadly Sins commonly committed by authors, suggestions for writing a manuscript, and new trends for scientific journals. Finally, the ability to critically evaluate manuscripts and publications for scientific merit is directly related to technical writing capabilities. Criteria to consider when evaluating manuscripts, publications, and other documents will also be discussed. Professor Douglas G. Hayes, Department of Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science University of Tennessee 2506 E. J. Chapman Drive Knoxville, TN dhayes1@utk.edu Douglas G.

Doug received his BS and PhD degrees at Iowa State University (1986) and University of Michigan (1991), both in chemical engineering. He served as a postdoctoral Research Chemist at USDA/ARS/NCAUR from 1991 to 1994 and as an Assistant and Associate Professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsfille (Chemical and Materials Engineering ( ) prior to joining UT.

4 Message from the Southeast Chapter Chair Esteemed friends and colleagues of the Southeast Chapter, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to what is promised to be a truly exceptional year for our Chapter. First and foremost, I am honored and humbled to serve as the Chair for I say with all genuineness, that I follow a strong legacy of leaders who have worked together with various vendors, speakers, and businesses within the personal care arena to help make the Southeast Chapter a special organization to serve under. While we were very disappointed to lose a cornerstone company from our group in 2017, Bayer Healthcare (formerly Schering Plough), it is encouraging that new firms such as Allied Analytical, Glaxo Smith Cline, and River City Scientific have all introduced new members to the forum. It is our hope that we can be flexible with our meeting times and locations to allow carefree travel to our venues Thus one change to note this year is a move to the third Thursday of a meeting month. Our first meeting of the year (March) has been booked at a truly wonderful venue nestled in beautiful Chattanooga, TN The St. John s Restaurant It is located in the former St. John s Hotel building. Built at the turn of the twentieth century, the flatiron building evolved over the years from hotel to brothel to abandonment. After being condemned and nearly torn down in the 1990s, local architect and preservationist, Thomas Johnson, purchased the building and began restoration immediately. It will serve as an incredible venue to start of our 2018 meeting schedule, to which we are further honored to have Dr. Douglas Hayes (Department of Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science, University of Tennessee) available to speak on a truly thought-provoking topic. Due to its popularity we will continue the supplier sponsorship meeting options. Cocktail Sponsorships are $ per meeting. The sponsor who graciously contributes will receive sincere recognition from the podium. Please contact me if interested; there are a limited number of slots. Another opportunity for sponsorship will be extended for our Supplier's Social in June. We are particularly proud of this event, as our planning team does an exceptional job picking fun venues. We hope to keep the excitement from last year s Graceland event going. Vendor sponsorship has always been a vital part of our supplier's night success, to which we preserve tiers of support: Silver Sponsor $100, Gold Sponsor $250 and Platinum Sponsor $500. Can t wait to see you at our scientific dinner meeting on March 15th! Cubie Lamb, Southeast Chapter Chair P.S. In addition if you haven t already, please renew your membership! 4
