Making your article "international"

Most high quality journals purport to be “international” and seek to remind authors that they expect material to be submitted which is of interest to a global audience. Some journals offer specific advice about how to increase the international appeal of manuscripts (Hayter & Watson 2014). Many authors worry about how to make their study internationally relevant and, in my travels and workshops around the world, I find that this especially vexes authors from non-English speaking countries. However, any advice about making a manuscript globally appealing applies equally to authors from any country or culture.
