That said, often the rejection comments will indicate how close the paper was to being accepted...and these reviews indicated that this paper was most likely one of the "finalists" that was ultimately passed up for a slightly stronger paper. So that's why I was so excited about the rejection.<BR/><BR/>I'd be happy to pass on my learned "wisdom" about rejection! Although to be honest, some of my attitude about rejection is probably also due to the thick skin I've had to develop as a survival mechanism... :)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082496114155799356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9848115.post-1134777000518088442005-12-16T17:50:00.000-06:002005-12-16T17:50:00.000-06:00Okay, I'm a bit confused here -- was this an outri...Okay, I'm a bit confused here -- was this an outright rejection, or really a revise & resubmit? Pardon me if I'm being persnickety, but as someone who works with a journal, I'm surprised at how many times people mistake a request for a revise & resubmit for a decision to reject the manuscript. At least in our case, if we send out a revise and resubmit recommendation, it means that at least one person on the editorial board would really like to see the paper published. Sometimes it's striking a balance between split reviews (at least one positive and at least one negative), or all reviewers agree the manuscript has the making of a solid publication, but needs some reworking. I definitely get excited about revise and resubmits and see them as largely good news.<BR/><BR/>Either way, glad that your peers recognize the contributions of your work. I'll have to pick your brain sometime about things your thesis advisor taught you about dealing with rejection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
