Tired of rejections? Cath Chapman and Tim Slade offer a simple way to fight back

All academics aim to publish in high impact journals. However, many leading scientific and medical journals reject more than 80% of the manuscripts they receive, making rejection the biggest barrier to publication in high quality journals. We propose a novel solution to this problem. It involves very little extra work by submitting authors, is applicable to a wide range of circumstances (such as flawed study, lack of broad interest to the field, or highly critical assessors), and is scalable to meet the needs of academics from various disciplines. To be submitted on receipt of a manuscript rejection, the rejection of rejection letter (box) aims to significantly improve the publication rates of participating academics by overcoming the leading barrier to publication—manuscript rejection. An electronic copy of the letter is available from the authors on request.

Tra moglie e marito, per consuetudine proverbiale, non si può mettere il dito. Ma l’udito sì, per ascoltare le frasi quotidiane che vengono scambiate tra le pareti domestiche. Ne esce una curiosa analisi sociologica, dove si scopre per esempio che la paternità o la maternità dei figli può essere variabile, che il giovedì è una giornata molto particolare e che essere capaci di valutare a occhio altezza e lunghezza può non essere un pregio. Ma soprattutto, che stare accanto a una donna bergamasca non è un’impresa da sottovalutare.
