The evaluation of professional titles is indispensable, but there will also be problems with publishing.
*Rejection refers to the situation when the editor finds that the manuscript is inappropriate during the review process and returns the manuscript to the author.
In fact, rejection is a very common thing, if the author wants to resubmit to this journal, first of all, it is necessary to understand the specific reasons for rejection, and then judge whether it is necessary to resubmit to this journal according to the severity of the reason for rejection, such as the following situations:
1. The manuscript does not conform to the purpose and scope of the journal
When reviewing an article, editors need to judge whether it is in line with the journal's purpose. If the editor believes that the article is not suitable, the writing is inappropriate, or does not appeal to readers, the article is likely to be rejected on the grounds that it does not fall within the scope of the journal.
Workaround:
Choose the right journal to reduce the chance of outright rejection.
*Please carefully and comprehensively read the "Purpose and Scope" of the target journal before submission, and revise ** as appropriate.
Give full consideration to the target journal's audience and revise accordingly** according to the target audience.
2. The repetition rate of the article is not up to standard
The journal clearly indicates the relevant requirements for the repetition rate of the article in the submission instructions, and the manuscript that does not meet the requirements will be rejected directly, and if the circumstances are minor, a chance to revise will be given.
If the repetition rate is 25% and the article repetition rate is 27%, the manuscript can be resubmitted after the return is revised and the weight is reduced.
Workaround:
According to the requirements of the plagiarism check rate in the submission instructions of the target journal, the article is modified, and the weight reduction is detected by the ** plagiarism checking system required by the journal.
3. The format of the article is not standardized
When many authors write, they usually focus on the content of the article and rarely care about the impact of the format on the article.
In fact, editors will prefer articles with standardized formats during the first review, and articles with non-standard formats may be directly rejected.
Workaround:
Authors need to standardize and modify the format of the article according to the format requirements of the submission instructions of the target journal before submission.
4. The author's academic qualifications and professional titles are not up to standard
If the author's academic qualifications or professional titles do not meet the requirements of the journal, it is generally difficult to solve the problem by revision.
If the journal requires the author to have a master's degree, it is not feasible unless the first author is replaced with someone with a master's degree. However, if the requirements are met, many journals will be able to re-accept submissions.
Generally speaking, you can resubmit your manuscript to the journal after it is rejected. However, after the author makes targeted revisions and resubmits the manuscript based on the feedback from the rejection, the author can explain in detail the revisions of the manuscript and the reason why the manuscript is resubmitted to the original journal in the submission letter.
Note: If the author still does not submit the manuscript after two resubmissions, it is recommended to change the article or submit the manuscript to another journal.
