| Dec 30, 2022 at 2:24 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @VladimirDotsenko the point of asking on academia.SE is that it attracts answers that are suitable for a range of fields, and one can compare and contrast them. For applied maths and stats, the answers can sometimes be different to pure maths, being influenced by their areas of application and we don't have a wholly representative sample here. | |

| Dec 29, 2022 at 1:17 | comment | added | usul | This depends greatly from person to person. Some just cross their fingers and say a quick prayer while clicking the submit button, others prefer a full ritual and blood sacrifice. Use trial and error to find what works for you. | |

| Dec 28, 2022 at 14:59 | comment | added | Vladimir Dotsenko | @DavidRoberts I looked at academia.SE several times in the past, and I found the amount of pointless comments and answers (pointless because the site is not maths-specific and a lot of people feel that they should offer their opinion even if it is not relevant) very frustrating. So I totally understand at least one reason to post this question on MO. | |
| Dec 28, 2022 at 14:46 | comment | added | M.G. | Another general advice, hence only a comment: After you think you have completed your paper, take a break from it / do something else for a week or two, or three, then get back to it to reread it with a fresher/outside perspective. You will be surprised how many things you are going to notice and will be wanting to fix/edit/improve. | |

| Dec 28, 2022 at 13:53 | comment | added | Christopher Drupieski | Go back and check through it a second and then a third time for typos. Too many experienced mathematicians skip these steps. | |

| Dec 28, 2022 at 10:05 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | Perhaps academia.SE would be a better fit? There are a number of experienced mathematicians active there. | |
| Dec 28, 2022 at 9:41 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | here is an overview of the process --- main message: Don’t try anything without advice and guidance from your advisor or an experienced mathematician familiar with your work. | |
