Journal Rejection

• The rate of journal rejection differs across
  different journals. Irrespective of the rate,
  its very discouraging for the scholars who spend
  years planning their research, securing funds,
  compiling and analyzing data, and making sound
  conclusions to benefit their readers.
• Therefore, we recommend you to do your homework
  before submitting your manuscript to a journal
  for publication. You must know the journals
  standards, formats and its rejection rates.

Reasons for Rejection

• The common reasons a manuscript gets rejected by
  any journal are

• Technical errors like the discrepancy between the
  abstract and the remaining manuscript, the study
  of the wrong groups, wrong statistics, clinically
  insignificant results, no relation between the
  results and their discussion, false data, etc.
• The manuscript is out of the scope of the
  journal.
• A lengthy manuscript that violates the word count
  limit

• Too many language errors
• Defective Methods of research
• Inappropriate conclusions
• Improper Format of the manuscript
• Plagiarism

Journal Submission

• When you submit your research paper to a journal,
  it is first screened for any technical errors and
  analyzed for the appropriateness of the subject.
  Plagiarism checks, a duplicate submission, and
  simultaneous submission are checked followed by
  the completeness of paper as per the journals
  guidelines.
• Journals have space restrictions too. Therefore,
  they set a word count limit for all the
  manuscripts to be submitted.  Dont fool the
  editors with wider margins and smaller fonts,
  your paper will be straight away rejected.

• All the journals have specific formatting
  requirements regarding the citation styles,
  tables and figures, color, and alignment. Plus,
  they prefer manuscripts written in the first
  person with an explanatory language.
• The methods section must be complete and so
  written that anyone who reads your paper can
  duplicate your research by following the steps
  described in the section.

Tips to Avoid Paper Rejection
9

• Timing is most important when writing and
  submitting your manuscript. In fact, decide on
  your goals well before you begin your study how
  much data is required, what figures to use, and
  whether the journals publishing schedule fits
  with yours.
• Study the various journals scope, impact factor,
  readership, and rejection rates and compile your
  own list of preferred journals to submit.
• Write an abstract concisely presenting all the
  required subsections. An abstract is the first
  thing an editor will see and judge the tone of
  your manuscript.
• If your study contributes some new information on
  your subject, it will be of more value to the
  high-impact journals. Otherwise, submit to a
  journal with a lower impact factor.

• Always check your data and calculations before
  submitting. Make sure the data in the tables and
  figures is same as in the text. Be consistent in
  your language throughout the paper.
• Get your colleagues and peers to review the
  paper. They will view the paper with a fresh
  perspective and identify minor errors you might
  have missed. They will offer valuable suggestions
  to revise your paper before submission.
• Finally, take help from publication support
  services. These services have editors and subject
  matter experts who can revise your manuscript as
  per the journal guidelines. With these services
  by your side, you dont have to worry about
  journal rejection at all!
