Manners in academic writing exist as an unsaid code of conduct that if followed, will behoove the scholarly writer. Putting one's finger on exactly what these manners are can be difficult. I tell junior authors that they should treat the academic process of writing just as they would treat someone in person. Extending simple kindness and consideration to a journal's staff and editor is not meant to “grease the wheel” or ensure an acceptance but is rather a simple courteously. Don't be misled that such courtesies will guarantee acceptance of your paper or an expedited review process. Do not think that your submission is the only one that the editor is considering at that moment. Most editors will be involved with many other paper submissions at the same time as your paper is being evaluated. Therefore, never ask for or expect special attention.
