Publishing the paper

Finally, you get the word. Suppose that the editor’s letter announces that your manuscript has been accepted for publication. When you receive such a letter, you have every right to treat yourself to a glass of champagne, a hot fudge sundae, or whatever you choose to indulge in when you have cause both to celebrate and to admire yourself. The reason that such a celebration is appropriate is the relative rarity of the event. In the good journals (in biology, at least), only a tiny percentage of the papers are accepted as submitted.
