Why your articles get rejected and how to solve it
Ever wondered how some people get published over and over without too much trouble and drama? It’s simple, but it is not easy. They have had the mentoring - explicitly or otherwise - that has shown them over and over not just how to write a journal article, but how to MASTER the craft of this particular genre.
Few people are lucky enough to enjoy this mentorship these days.
The result is that journal article writing can feel like an uphill struggle. It can feel too slow, like you are going around in circles, and that it takes too long to get a paper finished to submission. You feel frustrated and avoidant. Moreover, the rejection rates are high and even R&Rs feel like you and the reviewer are reading totally different papers - of course you are. The reviewer is reading the paper your wrote, and you are reading the paper you wrote in your head - not the same. Addressing revisions can feel like you need to do a serious re-think of your paper and its aims, even when the reviewers label it a minor R&R.
When you have mastered the journal technique, you can write papers (I’m talking sole authored papers here) in 8 weeks. You can execute them with confidence and ease, and let go of the circling doubt and inefficiency in producing publishable papers. No more frustration and anxiety about saying what you really want to say - get your argument on top of the detail, not buried into obscurity, and your contribution nailed down. Learn the skills needed to move from creator > writer > editor > reviewer of your own paper.
But it is more than that - mastering this technique is the difference between publishing in top quality journals and being recognised as a leader in your field. It is not just a case of accelerating your production, but the quality of what you produce at the end. Quality and quantity matter in your academic career.
Mastering this technique requires you to know the repeatable formula for success that leads to your papers getting published without rejection and crazy R&Rs.
