How to overcome the disappointment after being rejected by periodicals
At this time, depression is inevitable, and it is recommended to bravely seek external assistance from professors and classmates. Classmates and friends can heal the trauma of the soul and let the mood return to normal after several releases. At this time, it is very important to have the support of like-minded partners. After all, it is great to have people who understand and help each other in the challenging research work in the future. Then, communicate with the instructor the mistakes that may lead to the rejection of the journal, and review and correct them one by one. Then, rewrite the manuscript and prepare for the next submission. At the beginning, the guidance professor once said that there is no shortcut to overcome setbacks, only to make continuous progress and then surrender.
Face up to and correct the reasons for periodical rejection
When the number of rejected journals increases, we can face it with a more calm mind, and our thoughts will change from successful publication of papers to treating journal rejection with a normal mind. After all, it is common to be rejected by journals, and the key point is how to correct mistakes. Some enthusiastic editors will point out the reasons why journals are rejected, such as the topic is not novel enough, the article lacks logic, or the data and results are lacking. In addition to instructing professors, authors of the same name should also be invited to read the manuscript. The more people watch, the more specious blind spots can be found. In the English part, we should try our best to hire a professional and experienced compiler to help us. Editors are good at modifying different article styles for different periodicals, so that periodical examiners will not take advantage of their specialties and think that our articles are abrupt or not to their liking.
Prepare for the next better paper submission.
After many people read and give feedback, you should be able to confirm the overall structure of the paper and minimize the mistakes in the content. Next, I will do some systematic analysis of the rejected articles:
1. Find another suitable periodical: each periodical accepts different contents. It is more likely to choose another journal than to contribute to the same journal repeatedly [GK 1]? . After I was rejected by the journal for the first time, I chose another journal for the second submission, but the IF was higher, and the result was successfully published, which proved that the attributes of articles and journals are very important.
2. Confirm the translated English by the compiler: This needs to be confirmed back and forth with the manufacturer for many times to avoid the unintended part or redundant explanation after modification. Once, after I came back from English review, I found that there were too many sentences that were not there, or some important sentences were deleted. The compiler provides English and Polish, but in the end, it is up to the author to confirm whether the overall fluency and logic of the article are easy to understand.
3. There are no articles that cannot be published, only papers that have been submitted are abandoned: submitting papers is a hard but sure way to accumulate research energy, and only by perseverance and enthusiasm for research can it be sustained.
