The phrase "target submission" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in the context of submitting a document or item to a specific target, such as a deadline or a specific individual. For example, "The completed project must be submitted to the professor before the target submission date of April 30th."
Houellebecq's main target in Submission is what he believes is France's limp and cowardly intellectual and political class.
As is the case in his earlier novels, particularly the Prix Goncourt-winning The Map and the Territory (in which a fictional author named Michel Houellebecq is murdered), the target of Submission, more than anyone else, appears to be Houellebecq himself.
The external reproducibility study is targeted for submission alongside results from clinical trial entitled, "Phase III Study (Tarceva®) vs Chemotherapy to Treat Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in Patients With Mutations in the TK Domain of EGFR" (clinical trial # NCT00446225).
This value corresponds to ≈99 surveys/field veterinarian over a 9-month period (11 per month); our intended submission target was a minimum of 2 submissions/field veterinarian/week.
Furthermore, the "publish or perish" mentality, combined with teaching students and grant submission targets contribute to inherent role conflict.
While the proposal is being developed, the faculty supervisor and the candidate should agree upon a schedule of meetings, target dates for the submission of interim reports or preparatory papers or chapters of the study, and the expected date of submission of the near-final copy of the thesis to be defended.
In cases where the author has not queried the editor of the target journal prior to submission, the covering letter can - and should - be drafted to serve three functions.
A tentative 12-month timeline of projects, primary authors for the manuscripts, and target journals for manuscript submission was also developed.
Target timelines for the submission of primary and processed data sets of different data/study types were generally set following this kind of reasoning.
