Rejection is something that all go through, and it may be agood thing.

Authors who are just starting in their professions and highlyestablished will face rejection while submitting papers.

One should not rip a rejection letter to shreds or completelydelete the message in response to a rejection letter in today'smodern environment.

Similarly, choosing never to write another paper should beavoided.

IN BRIEF

Page 4: My paper was rejected in journal submission– What Next – Pubrica

Many rejected manuscripts (BK1) may eventually find a home with rewrites orimproved targeting to a more appropriate journal.

This article will look at some of the alternatives available to authors looking for aplace to publish their work.

Read the rejection letter as carefully as you would instructionsfor cashing in a winning lottery ticket.

Never skim or read only the last few lines of a storey (reject).It's amazing how many authors email me with questions thathave already been answered in the rejection letter.

If the letter looks to be confused or useless, having a co-worker read it might be beneficial.

INTRODUCTION

READING THE REJECTION LETTER

Page 6: My paper was rejected in journal submission– What Next – Pubrica

Despite the exponential expansion in the number of online and print journals1, moremanuscripts being rejected "internally" without external peer review (SK1) as thenumber of submissions to journals rises.

Some clinical publications (SK2) don't provide you with any more information.Please take a close look at these suggestions since they should help you figure outwhat to do next.

Papers that pass the first round of screening will be sent outfor peer review (BK2).

Papers that are rejected following peer review generallyinclude comprehensive comments from the reviewers on themerits and flaws of the work.

This data is frequently highly useful in enhancing the paper orplanning future initiatives.

Although the peer review method has limitations, it looks tobe the best approach available at the moment.

PEER-REVIEWED PAPERS THATARE REJECTED

Page 8: My paper was rejected in journal submission– What Next – Pubrica

Many manuscripts will be rejected by the Journal ofGraduate Medical Education (JGME) editor if they donot adhere to the author guidelines(BK3) in terms ofstructure, word count, number of figures and tables, andreference style. JGME avoids an initial rejection bysuggesting that writers resubmit their papers in the rightformat or with the correct word count.

However, if you submit a manuscript that does notfollow the author's guidelines, you risk irritating thejournal editors and delaying your article's evaluation (1).

SUCCEEDING THE AUTHORINSTRUCTIONS

Contd...

Page 9: My paper was rejected in journal submission– What Next – Pubrica

PUBRICA PEER REVIEW HAS BEEN DEFINED AS A PROCESS OF SUBJECTING ANAUTHOR’S SCHOLARLY WORK, RESEARCH OR IDEAS TO THE SCRUTINY OF OTHERSWHO ARE EXPERTS IN THE SAME FIELD

1. MATCHING PAPER TO JOURNAL

A mismatch between the manuscript and the journal's scope is a typical reason forthe internal rejection of submitted papers.

There are at least 99 print and online health professions education publications, witha lot of overlap in goal and scope.

Authors can learn about the most prevalent themes, study designs, and authors byreading one or two journal issues.

2.OBTAINING ADDITIONAL DATA OR RE-EXAMINING ALREADYCOLLECTED DATA

A relationship is only discovered with small sample sizes when the effect size(magnitude of the influence) is very big.

Because small samples restrict generalizability, gathering data on manyparticipants, such as repeating the intervention over several years, may give moreenlightening and reliable results.

You may be able to resubmit your article (SK3) with the missing techniques or dataif the flaws listed in the rejection letter affect procedures or findings that youperformed but were removed from your work for whatever reason.

It's a good idea to double-check with the journal office first. Alternatively, thereviewers may advise that your manuscript be placed in a different category.

This will necessitate a thorough rewriting of the paper to conform to the newcategory's author guidelines.

3.RESUBMITTING TO THE SAME JOURNAL

4.MAKE CHANGES AND SUBMIT THEM TO ADIFFERENT JOURNAL

Because no two journals have the same author instructions orstructure, you'll need to make some changes before submittingyour article (SK4) to another.

Therefore, it is critical to make any necessary adjustmentsbased on the comments offered during the initial evaluation.When you can't make a significant adjustment, it's a good ideato explain why in your cover letter or a supplemental appendix.

5.FILE THE DOCUMENT AWAY AND NEVERRESUBMIT IT

We all get rejection letters for papers we've submitted.

Typically, many experts in the field have contributed significant timeto provide comprehensive recommendations to help you developyour paper and future work.

Use this criticism to enhance your work for submission (SK5) toanother publication and your future, more thorough investigation ofthe subject.

As a responsible citizen of the medical education community and to enhance yourediting abilities, consider volunteering to review papers for one or more publications (2).

Above all, keep thinking about and studying medical education concepts (BK4), aswell as producing papers.

After that, either "Reject after Editorial Review" or"Send for Peer Review" is decided.

If a manuscript is rejected at this phase, theEditorial staff makes every effort to give constructivecriticism and explain the rejection.

A "Reject and Resubmit" (BK5) decision can alsobe used to reject a manuscript. The editorsdetermined that the paper is of high quality, novelty,and impact in this case.

Still, the authors must address critical aspects of themanuscript to meet the minimum criteria for review.

CONCLUSION

For example, the manuscript may require additional experiments, a more rigorousdata analysis, or significant rewriting to meet the minimum criteria for review (seemore information below).

This decision type implies that the editors actively urge the paper's resubmission ifthe identified flaws are rectified (3).
